~Family Perspective~

Today's gospel emphasizes the call to be missionaries.
Just as Jesus accepted his mission,
parents embrace the mission of raising a family.
This exhausting and challenging vocation
is not one they face alone.
Jesus invites us to find solace in Him, saying,
"Come to me, and I will give you rest."

~Marriage Moment~

“I love you” are such easy words to say.
The almost automatic reply is, “I love you too.”
But words can sound cheap if too often said casually.
Say “I love you,” once, with heart, to your spouse today.

~Parenting Pointers ~

Do you ever talk behind your child’s back?
Perhaps you’ve heard of “The Power of Half”
where a wealthy family decides to move
to a house half the size and
give the proceeds to a hunger cause.
This is good but many families don’t have the luxury
of downsizing this dramatically.
My hope is that families can enter the spirit
of such downsizing by jointly deciding what to give away.
