Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Holy Family – a model for all families. Pope Paul VI on Nazareth and family life:

May Nazareth serve as a model of what the family should be. May it show us the family’s holy and enduring character and exemplifying its basic function in society: a community of love and sharing, beautiful for the problems it poses and the rewards it brings; in sum, the perfect setting for rearing children – and for this there is no substitute.
