Holy Family Sunday Reflection
“Today many immigrant families live in vulnerable
situations.
Like the Holy Family, they face rejection and often have to flee
dangerous threats.
Many of us come into contact with these families who live in the
shadows, fearing separation, detention,
deportation and limited participation in our communities. And on
this feast (of the Holy Family),
we remember that all families are holy in God’s eyes.”
(The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States,
2016)
