Hello my name is Shane Pianta
2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,520
and I am a second year seminarian
3
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:06,160
at Holy Spirit Seminary.

00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,280
The Feast of the Holy Family
5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,680
invites us to contemplate the home of
6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,640
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,280
In their daily life in Nazareth,
8
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,480
the Holy Family reveals God’s plan for love,
9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,560
unity and holiness
10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,120
within family life.
11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,440
These examples encourage all families
12
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,120
to grow in faith, patience, forgiveness,
13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,440
and mutual care.
14
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,400
On this feast,
15
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,760
we ask God to bless our home
16
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:37,960
and to guide us
17
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,760
to reflect the love that shone so brightly
18
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,400
in the household of Nazareth.
19
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,360
Please join me in prayer.
20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,600
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,320
Amen.
22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,680
Heavenly Father,
23
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,360
on this Feast of the Holy Family,
24
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,600
we turn our hearts
25
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,280
to the home of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
26
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,480
A home filled with faith,
27
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,240
obedience, and tender love.
28
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,240
Bless our families, O Lord.
29
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,880
Strengthen the bonds that unite us,
30
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,360
heal the wounds that divide us,
31
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,960
and teach us to cherish one another with patience,
32
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:21,040
compassion and joy.
33
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,280
May the example of the Holy Family
34
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,800
guide our thoughts, our words, and our actions.
35
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Like Mary, may we listen with openness;
36
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,880
like Joseph, may we act with courage and humility;
37
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,680
like Jesus, may we grow in wisdom, grace, and love.
38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,320
Protect our homes from all harm,
39
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,240
fill them with Your peace,
40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,760
and make them places where Your presence is felt
41
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,000
and Your will is joyfully lived.
42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,640
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,760
Amen.
44
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,600
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
45
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,400
Amen.
46
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,320
Thank you for praying with us today,
47
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,120
we hope to see you again soon.
