Spirit and Aim
Venerable Pierre Bienvenu Noailles Founder of the Association of the Holy Family of Bordeaux
Within the different vocations of the Holy Family,
all the members are united in their endeavour to
live the same spirit and
work towards the same aim.
They find their inspiration in the contemplation of
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
who sought and lived for God Alone
through all the events of their lives.
The Founder, the Venerable Pierre Bienvenu Noailles,
loved to contemplate the Holy Family of Nazareth
as the ‘lovely image of the Trinity.’
Open to all who are drawn by its spirit and its life,
and following the example of the First Christian Communities,
who “were of one heart and one soul,”
the Holy Family Association is a place
of sharing, of communion and of mutual support.
It is a source of apostolic vitality for all its members.

Mark 1 : 35
Father, the time I give to you in quiet and prayer enables me to give myself to others. It will also give you the opportunity to speak to me. Help me to follow the path that will bring me closer to you. Without you I can do nothing. Amen
