In this homily, Bishop Robert Barron reflects on the Feast of the Holy Family and its connection to Christmas, emphasizing the vulnerability of the Christ child and the need for protection. Drawing from the Book of Revelation, he introduces the image of the Red Dragon as a symbol of opposition to Christ's birth, both historically and within individuals. Barron connects this to the gospel story of Herod's threat and the Holy Family's flight to Egypt, urging listeners to recognize the presence of the "dragon" and its "minions" in their own lives as they strive to cultivate the Christ life within themselves, and to seek the intercession of St. Joseph for protection and guidance.
