Are you curious about the hidden gems in the Biblical Books of Genesis, Hebrews, and Luke's Gospel?

Welcome to Your Catholic Corner, where we spiritually prepare for each Sunday's mass midweek each week.

This week, we focus on Holy Family Sunday - where Abraham and Sarah patiently wait on God's promises and dig into the history of Christmas carols.

Christmas carols have been around since early Christianity, with the first known hymn written in 336 AD. The tradition of singing and praising evolved, and carols became a staple of the Christmas season.

Holy Family Sunday, commemorated in the Catholic tradition, honours the family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. 


The feast was instituted in the 17th century to emphasise family values and model virtuous family life.

The Bible passages for Holy Family Sunday demonstrate God's promises to the family of Abraham, Sarah, and Jesus' childhood. They highlight the faith and patience of these families and the fulfilment of God's promises.

Abraham and Sarah were blessed with a son, Isaac, in their old age, fulfilling God's promise to make their descendants as numerous as the stars. The story exemplifies God's ability to make miracles happen.

The Book of Hebrews recounts how Abraham, in great faith, set out on a journey without knowing the destination, and Sarah, despite her age, was able to conceive, showing their unwavering trust in God.

In Luke, we learn about Mary and Joseph fulfilling their religious duties by presenting Jesus at the temple. This demonstrates their faith and adherence to their religious obligations.

The powerful messages from these passages show us the abundant blessings and miracles God can bestow upon families. The feast of Holy Family Sunday encourages us to reflect on the sanctity of the family unit and seek to emulate the love, respect, and support shown by Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

If you want to hear more insights and reflect on God’s word, subscribe to Your Catholic Corner and join us in preparing for mass each week. Stay tuned for more spiritual nourishment and practical applications to deepen your relationship with God.
