Homily given at the 9:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, December 29, 2019, the Feast of the Holy Family, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph faced many challenges, but they were filled with joy as they loved and cared for each other. This is what Jesus has for our families, too, but to receive that grace, we need to pray with and for each other and take advantage of the intercession of the Holy Family for us.
