Join Jelvine Cortez, Kath Petrie and David Moxon in conversation with John O’Connor reflecting on the scriptures for the Feast of the Holy Family, the Sunday following Christmas.

Read the scriptures for this Sunday at this link.

David mentions Pope Francis’ Autobiography which you can find at this link.

Jelvine concluded with Pope Francis’ Holy Family Prayer:

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
in you we contemplate
the splendour of true love;
to you we turn with trust.

Holy Family of Nazareth,
grant that our families too
may be places of communion and prayer,
authentic schools of the Gospel
and small domestic churches.

Holy Family of Nazareth,
may families never again experience
violence, rejection and division;
may all who have been
hurt or scandalised
find ready comfort and healing.

Holy Family of Nazareth,
make us once more mindful
of the sacredness and inviolability
of the family,
and its beauty in God’s plan.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Graciously hear our prayer.

Amen.
