On the Feast of the Holy Family


 And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them; and His mother kept all these things carefully in her heart.  And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and grace before God and men.

Luke 2, 51-52


O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, in the days of thy subjection to Mary and Joseph, didst consecrate home life by ineffable acts of virtue: by the intercession of thy holy Mother and of Thy foster Father, make us so to profit by the example they with Thee have set us, that we may be counted members of Thy household for evermore.  Amen

Prayer, Mass of the Holy Family, First Sunday within the Octave of the Epiphany
