The Holy Family December 28, 2025

Sirach 3: God sets a father in honor over his children;  a mother’s authority he
confirms over her sons.

Colossians 3: And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Matthew 2:  Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, Out of Egypt I called my son.
