What if holiness isn’t just for the saints, but for your family too?
In this week’s episode of All Set for Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph with Fr. Dufresne, who helps us explore what it means to be a holy family right here, right now. From Sirach to St. Paul to St. Joseph himself, this episode is packed with powerful reminders that holiness begins at home.
Scripture Snapshots & Fr. Dufresne’s Insights:
-
Sirach (3:2–6, 12–14) calls us to honor our parents, not just when it’s easy but always. God attaches blessings, forgiveness, and answered prayers to this command.
-
Colossians (3:12–21) offers a “Christian dress code”: compassion, kindness, humility, patience, and love, the belt that ties it all together. The long form zooms in on family life, calling spouses to mutual self-gift and parents to encourage, not discourage, their children.
-
Matthew (2:13–15, 19–23) shows St. Joseph as protector and guide, responding to God's direction without hesitation. He’s a powerful model for fathers today.
Fr. Dufresne tackles the “clickbait” line, “Wives be subordinate to your husbands,” by restoring its true context: mutual submission rooted in love, modeled by the Holy Family. He reminds us:
"Obedience isn’t about power, it’s about imitating Christ. Even Jesus obeyed Mary and Joseph!"
From fathers leading the rosary to children learning humility through obedience, this feast challenges every member of the family to live their vocation fully.
