Since Christmas was on a Sunday this year, the Catholic
Church celebrates the feast of the Holy Family today. At his
general audience Wednesday, Pope Benedict talked about the Holy
Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph being a model, especially of
prayer, for Christian families. Earlier this year, Marist Father
Anthony Ward, undersecretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship
and the Sacraments, compiled a list of other holy families for
Catholics to imitate. The list of married couples was drawn from
the 2004 edition of the Roman Martyrology, a thick tome listing the
saints and blesseds of the Catholic Church according to their feast
dates.
