PODCAST | The Model Family of Jesus of Nazareth
[ Transcript ]
Is your family a happy family, filled with love and mercy?
In this podcast, Fr. Eric Nicolai reflects on what it means to be a family, following in the example of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. In this Year of the Family proclaimed by Pope Francis, “we are called to rediscover the educational value of the family unit… being founded on the love that always regenerates relationships, opening up horizons of hope.”
Fr. Eric challenges us to look inward within our family to find consolation in the moments of joy and happiness so that we may be filled with the strength to persevere in moments of trial. Looking to the Holy Family as our model, we can learn how to: forgive, be affectionate, and care for others, accompanying one another in our journey toward Heaven.
