Eighth Day
The Holy Family teaches us to trust in God
Jesus, Mary and Joseph trusted in God's providence. They also trusted in the law of the land that they observed the law of Moses and presented the Child Jesus in the Temple.
As immigrants fleeing from Herod, Joseph followed the will of God and trusted that God would provide. Jesus tells us to trust that the Father will provide.
By trusting in the laws God gives us through the Scripture and His Church, we will draw closer to Jesus. How then do we trust in God? Do we listen and strive to follow the guidance given to us by Scripture and His Church? Do we accept what is convenient and then ignore what calls us to sacrifice or change?
Let us pray ...
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, help us to accept, love, and trust in God’s will and His Church’s teachings, knowing that it is taught for our moral good and salvation. Help us see where we have avoided trusting in God by not following His will or the moral teachings of His Church.
Act of Consecration to the Holy Family
Our Father ...
Hail Mary ...
Glory be to the Father ...
