Almost 2,000 years ago, a young woman from the town of Nazareth named Mary was visited by an angel named Gabriel. The Angel Gabriel told the Jewish woman that she would have a son named Jesus, who would be God's Son.

"And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end." (He was born of a virgin, just as the prophecy had predicted in Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel."

The Holy Family-Today we celebrate the domestic life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, as an inspiration for all families everywhere.
Gospel: Matthew 2:13-15; 19-23 Dangers faced by the Holy Family before they settled in Nazareth. Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and
his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search forthe child, to destroy him.”
