Holy Family : Christian children all must be mild, obedient , good as he ..


This Sunday is the Feast of the Holy Family , when we reflect not only on the scene in the crib at Bethlehem , but on Our Lord's childhood,as he grew up in Nazareth in the home of Mary and Joseph.

Cecil Frances Alexander, the wife of a 19th century Protestant Bishop of Armagh in Northern Ireland wrote a set of "Hymns for Little children" in 1848. These Hymns were designed to teach young children about the faith .

Among these music historian Monsignor Philip Whitmore tells us are: 'Once in Royal David's City'. 'All Things Bright and Beautiful " and "Christian Children"...
