Holy Family 10.5″H Statue

Description

Devotion to the Holy Family highlights the virtues of family life or, what St. Francis de Sales, called the “Little Virtues.” These virtues are patience, gentleness, humility, simplicity, tenderness toward our neighbor, chastity, obedience, temperance, honesty, and integrity and they are called ‘little’ because with a little effort, we all can practice them every day. In the Introduction to the Devout Life, St. Francis de Sales wrote: “Great opportunities to serve God rarely present themselves but little ones are frequent.” When we, in our families, practice the Little Virtues, we are following the example of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
