Today is the Feast of the Holy Family and we catch a glimpse of a somewhat obedient son who goes home with his family after frightening them with his disappearance. We catch sight of the reality of family life for this Holy Trio. This was not a family of holiness in the sense of perfect--there were quarrels and stressors just like any other family. Perhaps just like your own family? Mother Teresa's advice on this day makes sense. If we want a holy family, we must begin by loving....through all the situations that normally drive us crazy and make us frustrated.
Peace,
Suzanne
