A Humble Family of Three

Maybe the Holy Family isn’t just a nativity set bought from the store 
Maybe the Holy Family, perhaps, is something so much more 

Thirty years He spent in the quiet, hidden, and ordinary
Before His three years of public ministry working for humankind all things extraordinary 

So maybe, perhaps, there’s power and value
In the everyday unseen
Of being formed by a mom and dad 
Before a great mission
Beauty and purpose in the in-between

Then definitely, most certainly, Mother Mary and St. Joseph mean so much more! 

Since God sent His only Son to dwell in a humble family of three
before He sent His only Son to Calvary to die for you and me.

Happy Feast of the Holy Family!

Our Lady, pray for us.

St. Joseph, pray for us.
