Holy Family

Posted on by corsomike

I believe that all families are holy.

This includes those who are traditional as well as those who blended, led by a single parent, led by two parents of the same sex, divorced and remarried, and on and on.

Ultimately, families will be reviewed based on their heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.  This is true not only how they treat one another within the family but how they treat the marginalized, the poor, the widow, the orphan, the refugee, the undocumented.

How families treat the “other” will help define the word “holy”.
