Holy spouses
Tracing Jesus’ holy lineage, we find there is much to ponder in this union of Mary and Joseph as husband and wife. The Holy Family is not only the model for all families, the Holy Spouses are the greatest intercessors for them.

Upon the birth of Jesus and thereafter, Mary and Joseph weren’t prepared for anything they experienced. Neither were the shepherds, the Magi, or even Herod. Each was going about their normal daily life, not realizing their own part in salvation history.
What part do I want to play in salvation history?
We tend to start each new year with good intentions for changing our flaws and imperfections. The everyday battle, though, can be overwhelming and we too easily find ourselves waving the white flag of surrender. Jesus has provided a way for us to step out of this cycle by living under His standard.
We each are a walking fragment of faith bringing His graces into the world. If we could only remember to see each other that way 😊
Talking to God in prayer is harder than it seems. How can I be in conversation with someone whose face I cannot even imagine? Scripture tells us God is love, but what does that look like?
