A devotion to the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph is encouraged for all Christian families. The lives of the Holy Family on earth serve as models for both the individual and the family.  God offers his grace through the Holy Family of Nazareth to encourage a devotion and reflection on their lives.  We are challenged to make their way of life, our way of life.  They are a source of virtue, they enlighten our minds and they show us how to love through sacrifice.
