Well, thank you, everybody, for joining us here at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy.

I'm Father Chris here on a beautiful opportunity to talk to you at a continuation of part two of the hidden life of the holy family.

Now, last week, we started by talking about this holy family life that we don't always read

tied together. So let us begin with a prayer in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy

Spirit. Amen. Heavenly Father, we ask you to come down upon us through the intercession of Mary and Joseph

and we pray to you, Lord Jesus Christ,

that you take us on this spiritual journey to meditate and reflect on what you went through in the

Holy Family, to teach our families how to be good examples of your family. And we ask all this

through Christ, our Lord. Lord amen in the name of the

father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit amen okay so now this is a continuation now we
