When He came in His first coming, He came to be a part of a human family.
In the infant Christ, with Mary and Joseph humbly and protectively bent over Him, we see who we really are more fully than ever we could before His birth.
The presence of Christ in the midst of His Holy Family is an icon of how He should be present in the midst of every family.
That is how important a family is.
That is also why the powers of Hell will attack the very concept of the family at its roots.
