Discover the Beauty of the Stations of the Holy Family
When most people hear “Stations,” they immediately think of the Stations of the Cross, a beloved Lenten devotion reflecting on the passion of Our Lord in preparation for the great feast of Easter. But did you know there’s another beautiful devotion focused on the Holy Family?
The Stations of the Holy Family give us a glimpse into the hidden life of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, offering twelve reflections on the joys and trials they experienced in their family life. This devotion brings to life the sanctity of their marriage, the birth of Jesus, their challenges as refugees, as well as their sorrow in facing death.
Created by Father Matthew Stephan and receiving the Ecclesiastical Approval of Bishop Edmond Carmody, D.D., Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi, this devotion is a gem for anyone seeking to grow in holiness, particularly families longing to model their lives after the Holy Family’s example.
Why Pray the Stations of the Holy Family?
In a world where family life is under attack, the Stations of the Holy Family remind us of the power of the Sacrament of Marriage, the blessings of children, and the importance of persevering in faith in the face of a secular culture. Each station is accompanied by Scripture, meditations, and prayers that pave the way for deeper union with the Holy Family.
As we celebrate the Christmas season, these stations invite us to immerse ourselves in the life of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and to draw inspiration from their humility, trust in God, and love for one another.
