Mythologizing the Bible: Episode 5

Reflections for the Feast of the Holy Family (Cycle C)

Family is often described as the foundation of our lives, but what really holds that foundation together? It’s not obligation or tradition—it’s the values we live by every day. What does it mean to truly care for our loved ones? How can we teach and live by values that unite rather than divide? And why does humility have the power to keep us grounded even in the most challenging relationships?

Welcome to ‘Mythologizing the Bible,’ where we’ll be taking a look at three readings from the Christian Bible through the lens of “sacred myth.”

As we reflect on the readings for the Feast of the Holy Family, we’re gonna look beyond the traditional Christian narrative to uncover a few lessons that should resonate with all of us, regardless of our religious background… or lack thereof.

In this episode, we’ll unpack how values like respect, humility, and kindness aren’t just abstract ideals but practical tools for building stronger families and more meaningful connections. We’ll challenge the notion that these values need divine justification to be valid, exploring instead how they stand on their own merit as powerful, transformative forces in our lives!

So grab a comfy seat, a glass of your favorite beverage, and let’s look at some ancient stories together in this edition of Mythologizing the Bible, where we’ll be exploring the readings for the Feast of the Holy Family, Cycle C of the Roman Catholic Lectionary.
