Holy Family

This sculpture of the Holy Family is rich with symbolism. The Christ-child prefigures the cross: His future calling. We perceive the Son’s trust in His loving father, and so we begin to understand the relationship He has with His Heavenly Father. Mary, like the Church, adores her Son. Does she know what her Son would ultimately suffer? Do we really comprehend His suffering as He stretched out His arms of love on the cross?
