The Holy Family of Nazareth and the Christian Family Today

In a world where family values are increasingly challenged, this profound work bridges the sacred past and the modern present. The Holy Family of Nazareth and the Christian Family Today delves into the life of the Holy Family of Nazareth – Saint Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and Jesus Christ – offering a richly detailed portrait of their simple life, profound humility, and unwavering faith. By placing the Holy Family within their familial, social, and religious context of their time, the book reveals the human, humble, and poor life they led – a life marked by deep attentiveness to God and steadfast obedience to His divine will.

Through biblical narratives, theological reflections, and historical context, the author demonstrates how the Holy Family’s experiences resonate deeply with our own. Jesus was a man among men, similar to us in everything except sin. His education was not abstract or theoretical but actual and real, shaped by real events like the flight into Egypt, the boy Jesus in the temple, and three decades of quiet family life characterized by His obedience to His parents. These moments provide living proof of a faith-filled upbringing, underscoring how humility and listening to God profoundly influenced His public ministry.

This work is divided into three parts: the daily life and divine calling of the Holy Family, the impact of Jesus’ upbringing on His mission, and the application of their timeless example to the modern challenges faced by Christian families. Whether addressing secularism, fractured faith, or the trials of contemporary life, this book invites families to seek patience, peace, and unity by turning to the Holy Family as a model and guide.

With wisdom and compassion, this timeless book reminds us that the lessons of Nazareth remain as relevant today as ever. Whether you seek to deepen your spiritual understanding or strengthen your family bonds, this work offers an inspiring and practical roadmap for navigating the complexities of life with love, faith, and grace while remaining anchored in divine truths.

By H. E. Bishop Sélim Sayegh, Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

Doketo: The 1960s Story of a Thoroughbred Racehorse

This story is about a thoroughbred racehorse named Doketo, who was owned and trained by the person telling the story. Doketo was a good racehorse, though not exceptional as he might have you believe. However, as the racetrack saying goes, he was better than an empty stall.

Life is like that. Friends and associates may not be exactly what you want, but in a very real sense, they can still be better than an empty stall. Doketo’s eventual owner learned this lesson as a 20-year-old boxer competing in the fiercely contested featherweight division of the 1954 Golden Gloves, where winners qualified for the Pan American Games.

The late veteran boxing judge Billy Oaths believed the young fighter had a strong chance of winning his division. His confidence came from the boxer’s previous bout, a stunning televised victory over a top-ranked U.S. featherweight in the opponent’s hometown just three months earlier. As the young boxer climbed the steps to the ring for his first Golden Gloves match before a large crowd, Billy called out, ‘C’mon, let’s get the ball rolling!’ The boxer, full of confidence, shouted back, ‘Don’t worry, Billy. This won’t last long.’

And it didn’t.

The referee stopped the fight in the first round, awarding a TKO win to the boxer’s opponent. While disappointed, Billy would likely have summed it up with the same racetrack wisdom: his boxer and Doketo were both better than an empty stall.

Incredibly Blessed

An 89-year-old Roman Catholic priest from Minnesota fell in church and required surgery to repair a neck injury. During his recovery in a rehabilitation facility, he did not dwell on bad luck or misfortune but instead reflected on how blessed his life had been.

Born in Indiana, he arrived in Minnesota in a shoebox at just three weeks old and grew up on a farm during the Great Depression. The smallest boy in his class and extremely shy, he first felt the call to the priesthood in sixth grade at his Catholic school. He attended high school and two years of college at a minor seminary in St. Paul, where he gradually overcame much of his shyness. He then continued his studies in philosophy and theology at a major seminary in St. Paul before being ordained as a priest.

His ministry took him to parishes in western Minnesota and to chaplaincy roles in Catholic nursing homes. Over the years, he traveled extensively, visiting Rome, the Holy Land, and a mission parish in Guatemala. His journeys also took him to 22 countries, including the Galápagos, the Amazon, the Antarctic Peninsula, and Easter Island.

This is the story of a life filled with challenges, adventures, and countless blessings.
