OUR BLESSED HOLY FAMILY - JESUS, MARY, JOSEPH
GOD'S HOLY COVENANT FAMILY
In the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Apparition
The Basilica of the Catholic Pacific Northwest
For the LORD sets a father in honor over his children;
a mother's
authority he confirms over her sons.
He who honors his father atones
for sins;
he stores up riches who reveres his mother.
He who honors
his father is gladdened by children, and when he prays he is heard.
He who reveres his father will live a long life;
he obeys the LORD
who brings comfort to his mother.
(Sirach 3:2-6)
Feast of the Holy Family - December 28
The Feast of the Holy Family is held on the first Sunday after
Christmas. This feast reminds us that Jesus was not self-sufficient
once he was born into the world.
He was taught by both his mother
and father and, judging by the lack of mention in the Gospels, had a
rather ordinary childhood and adolescence.
Today's feast holds up the Holy Family as a model for all families,
and makes us take special recognition of the importance of the
family on the life of each person.
When we examine the mystery of
the Holy Family and the tight bonds that must have existed within it,
we can recognize the need that all people have for good
relationships and how these relationships help give us strength
throughout our lives.

MARY DID YOU KNOW?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would someday walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve delivered will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kissed your little baby you kissed the face of God?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again;
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak the praises of the Lamb!
Mary, did you know?
Did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know?
Did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy was heaven’s perfect Lamb?
This sleeping Child you’re holding is the great "I Am."
Mary, did you know?
