Newsletter – The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Year A.

Imagine being Mary when Joseph awakens her in the middle of the night to tell her that he had a dream from God and they need to move the whole family to Egypt right away because the baby’s life is in danger.

A parent makes all kinds of sacrifices for his or her children. What is one sacrifice you can think of that a parent made for you?

What sacrifices would you make for the children of your brothers or sisters or friends? for children you don’t even know?
