The readings for the Feast of the Holy Family for Year A give us a look at the life of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The first reading (Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14) speaks of the holiness of family relationships. The psalm (Psalm 128:1-2, 3, 4-5) also sings of the blessings of families. The second reading (Colossians 3:12-22) tells of how families must live in love and unity. In the gospel (Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23) Joseph is once again visited by an angel and does as he is commanded in order to protect his family.

This is a time to consider how the actions of individual family members affects the others. How can we strengthen our families and communities? Here are some ideas for this week:

Let the Peace of Christ Control Your Hearts
And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body.
Family Circle Game
Family Circle is a game which works well as an icebreaker or for a lesson about relationships. It also makes sense for a meeting about human dignity. We are all members of God's family.
Let the Peace of Christ Control Your Hearts
And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body.
The Angel of the Lord Appeared to Joseph (Video)
This video from Holy Heroes tells of how Joseph listened to God and obeyed him, which is the gospel for the Feast of the Holy Family for Year A. A coloring sheet and Mass quiz are also available for each week. Use these to prepare for Sunday Mass at home or for Children's Liturgy of the Word.
