~Family Perspective~

In today’s gospel,
 Jesus reminds us that it is not enough
 to provide only physical nourishment for our children; 
“one does not live on bread alone.” 
As we approach Lent 2026,
 let us be “led by the Spirit”
 to discover new ways to be moral guides for our children.

~Marriage Moment~

What is your marriage founded on?
When George Washington became our first president
he had little idea how this fledgling country would evolve.
So too, most of us are relatively naïve on our wedding day.
Let a penny be a reminder of your wedding vows,
“In God we trust.”

~Parenting Pointers ~

Lent is not just about “giving up”
but also humbling oneself in the service of others.
Even children can serve by cleaning up,
letting someone else go first,
even smiling instead of smirking.
Being a willing servant is different from being a slave.
“The last will be first, and the first will be last.” (Mt. 20:16)
