~Family Perspective~

Like the vine grower in today’s gospel,
parents must “prune and cleanse” the branches in their family
if their children are going to be rooted.
Discipline, limits and setting goals are a necessary part
of parenting so our children will grow and “bear fruit.”

~Marriage Moments~

Praying together is good,
but your schedule and style of prayer may not match.
For a start, try picking a specific and regular time each day
to say a prayer for your beloved,
perhaps when you start the car,
wash your hands, brush your teeth, etc. Try it.

~Parenting Pointers~

Chores #2: Two weeks ago,
I suggested discussing who does what chores around the house.
Were any decisions made to change jobs?
Are your kids complaining or too busy to help at home?
Have a family meeting and make a plan you can all live with.
