The story of the Holy Family's flight to Egypt holds timeless significance and is relevant even today as refugees continue to flee from oppression and darkness worldwide. It reminds us of the importance of offering light on the path of darkness and extending help to those in need.
In the present moment, we have a sacred role in humanity to seek understanding of the injustice around us and to be a beacon of hope for those in need. Just as the Holy Family sought refuge in Egypt, we too must offer sanctuary and community to those forced to flee their homes and seek safety elsewhere.
As we journey towards more extraordinary love, we must let go of fear and embrace compassion, seeing ourselves in the distant stars of others. We must embrace uncertainty with clarity and focus on the message of loving one another. May peace guide us, and our dreams inspire us to be the light that shines brightly overhead to those who are in need.
Together, let us create a world where love and compassion reign.
