The Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Holy Family today since there is no Sunday between Christmas and New Year's Day this year. Many people will thus miss the occasion to reflect on the Holy Family and their own Holy Families. Yes, there is holiness in our families in the love, patience, forgiveness, kindness, humility and gentleness we experience in our families throughout our lifetimes and especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Families make huge efforts to gather, celebrate and give thanks for one another and for the blessings received from the Father of us all. these are all marks of holiness. Today, those who feed on this slice of Daily Bread might make it a point to say thank you and I love you to family again. A call, an e-mail, a word at the New Year's Eve party or during the football watch after Mass in honor of Mary the Mother of God on New Year's Day. We can never say thanks enough to God for all his blessings, nor to one another for the gifts we are to each other. Amen!

Note: I will not have access to the internet until Monday, so this will be the last slice of bread for 2016. Happy New Year and God's abundant blessings to ALL.
