God came to us in Jesus, the Word Made Flesh, and identified Himself so closely with humanity that He chose to put Himself in family life. He chose Mary as a mother, and Joseph as a father, to raise Him, underscoring the importance of a mother and father to raise children. And the Holy Family provides a model for how we can engage meaningfully in family life.
We see in the Holy Family an example of the kind of virtues we should exhibit toward one another, manifesting the love God has shown us by coming to us in Jesus Christ. It is this love that aids us through the difficulties of this world unto Eternal Life.
