We definitely can't forget about the Holy Innocents, especially considering the current abortion holocaust that plagues us. We need the intercession of the Holy Family now more than ever!phatcatholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06723028878747648927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31376723.post-71534364870520594012008-12-29T03:01:00.000-05:002008-12-29T03:01:00.000-05:00I agree that the Nativity gave me a better glimpse of the hardships, especially what it might have been like for St. Joseph and Mary during the journey. <BR/><BR/>and it is also the feastday of the Holy Innocents.jmjtinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31376723.post-30865104386057765442008-01-01T14:03:00.000-05:002008-01-01T14:03:00.000-05:00Beautiful thoughts on the holy family.

We must remember that, and then the Holy Family truly become role models for our difficult times.Leticiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170455690163831806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31376723.post-14807392618246479972007-12-30T22:03:00.000-05:002007-12-30T22:03:00.000-05:00Your welcome adrienne!phatcatholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06723028878747648927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31376723.post-8201324076729608192007-12-30T16:19:00.000-05:002007-12-30T16:19:00.000-05:00So glad you wrote this since they are my thoughts, too.

Here are the seven sorrows:<br /><br />1. at the prophecy of Simeon; <br />2. at the flight into Egypt; <br />3. having lost the Holy Child at Jerusalem; <br />4. meeting Jesus on his way to Calvary; <br />5. standing at the foot of the Cross; <br />6. Jesus being taken from the Cross; <br />7. at the burial of Christ.phatcatholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06723028878747648927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31376723.post-53385934745425430692007-01-01T16:58:00.000-05:002007-01-01T16:58:00.000-05:00Life was not always easy for the Holy Family.
