The Holy Family as a model for Christian family life
Jesus, Mary and Joseph form the Holy Family in Catholic tradition. Their life at Nazareth is associated with trust in God, faithfulness, work, care for others and ordinary family life. A statue bringing the three figures together can keep this model present during prayer, particularly when entrusting a couple, children or a family difficulty to God.
Our article on the Holy Family as a model of love, faith and unity explores this spiritual dimension and its place in everyday Christian life.
Praying with Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Prayer before a Holy Family statue can remain simple: family members may be entrusted to God, gratitude expressed for life together or strength requested during a difficult period. Each of the three figures also has a distinct place within Catholic devotion. A statue of Saint Joseph can accompany prayer particularly associated with Jesus' foster father, while a statue of Jesus places Christ directly at the centre of a prayer space.
The history and meaning of this family within Christian tradition are explored further in our article about the Holy Family.
