Holy Family-Model of Perfect Unity

Have you seen an image or statue of the Holy Family? In that statue we will see St. Joseph, the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. Some images of the Holy Family that I have ever seen were that St. Joseph working as a carpenter, then the Virgin Mary preparing some food while the Child Jesus playing the nails. Of course it is just an imagination of an artist to beautify more his art so that the viewer may find it nice. But, it has something to be grasped of imitated.
St. Joseph is projecting what a responsible father should be: to labour for his family so that there will be a solid foundation of love. For if a father does not have love and does not show it to his family he will be an irresponsible one.
St. Joseph, though, was a foster father to Jesus, had to labor so that he could be able to respond to their daily needs.
The Virgin Mary is playing the part of a good mother. As a care-taker of their poor home, she was a good wife and a perfect mom. The child who was playing is showing his usual tendencies so that he may be taught by his nurturing parents. Thus, everything begins at home.
The deeper meaning of the Holy Family to us, in particular to all Christian families, is to possess infinite qualities which could be a moment that each member of the family will come together, sharing each others’ laughter and experiences, actions, contribution of whatever even fun and in times of bereavement and difficulty. Everyone is called to an allotted time for sympathizing each other. Holding each other could foster healing as it is proven by some expert-researchers that the human touch (especially those are coming from our love ones) increases the production of endorphins growth hormone and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), all of which lengthen your life span and lower the negative impact of stress.
Since a family is always a little society and a working team, each member should have a sense of sharing each others’ capacity in performing work, especially the common house cleaning and ground cleaning for the betterment of the family.
It could also be a discovering each other’s ability to use one’s knowledge effectively in doing something e.g. solve the budget problems mathematically or speaking well with complete manners. The family should also be training ground where perspiration for a good purpose should be exercised.
If in the other fields of work we need support, the members of the family must support one another. It needs patience, too, to form the family into a great-little society. If some is willing to support then we will be confident enough to grow in whatever aspects in life we wish to flourish.
Nothing more can complete to a family that is perfectly rooted with important examples that could lead to a more purposeful in life.
