"The Holy Family of Nazareth is truly the 'prototype' of every Christian family which, united in the Sacrament of Marriage and nourished by the Word and the Eucharist, is called to carry out the wonderful vocation and mission of being the living cell not only of society but also of the Church, a sign and instrument of unity for the entire human race." ~ Pope Benedict XVI (on the Feast of the Holy Family 2007)
