We see them on Christmas cards: Calm, clean, glowing. The reality was messy:
- Scandal: Mary was pregnant before marriage. Joseph almost divorced her.
- Homelessness: No room at the inn. Gave birth in a barn.
- Refugees: Had to flee to Egypt to escape a death squad.
- Panic: Lost 12-year-old Jesus in Jerusalem for 3 days.
Why It Matters
If your family is stressed, broke, or under attack... you fit right in. The Holy Family isn't a model of "ease." They are a model of trust in the middle of chaos.
Bless our house. Consecrate your family to the Holy Family on the MyPrayerTower app.
