家庭在社会及教会都有重要的角色，它好像一块好的苗圃让种子能发芽、成长变成健康的树木，也像一条好的道路帮助孩子走到人生圆满的目标。今天的读经提到两个家庭的榜样：亚巴郎和若瑟的家庭。年老的亚巴郎没有孩子，在世人面前像是没有希望了。圣家真是块好园圃，让爱慕天主及圣殿的种子在耶稣心中愈长愈大。现代的家庭面对价值危机。然而，我们相信天主还是通过家庭进行祂的救恩工程。我们需要圣家的精神，以天主的旨意为基础，父母以教导孩子认识和爱慕天主为神圣的使命，那就是家庭的圣召。

Family plays an important role in society and church. It is like a good nursery for seeds to germinate and grow into healthy trees. It is also like a good road to help children reach the goal of life perfection. Today's reading refers to two family examples: the family of Abraham and the family of Joseph. The old Abram had no children, and seemed hopeless to the world. The holy home is a good garden, so that the seeds of love for God and the temple grow in Jesus' heart. Modern families are facing value crisis. However, we believe that God works through his family. We need the spirit of the holy family, based on the will of God, and the sacred mission of parents is to teach their children to know and love God, which is the holy call of the family.<br>
