Family prayer
TKC!
“Family prayer has its own characteristic qualities. It is prayer offered in common, husband and wife together, parents and children together…by reason of their dignity and mission, Christian parents have the specific responsibility of educating their children in prayer, introducing them to gradual discovery of the mystery of God and to personal dialogue with Him…” St. John Paul II
Grace before meals, kneeling down with your kids before going to bed to say a prayer of thanksgiving or petition, reading Sacred Scripture and reflecting on a passage as a family, praying the rosary or at least a decade as a family, saying a prayer for a safe trip before leaving in your car,…so many simple but powerful ways to weave prayer into your family’s fiber.
God bless,

“True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.” St. Francis de Sales
One of the keys to happiness is to focus less on the appreciation and esteem of other people and more on what God thinks about you. Do everything for him in a simple and quiet way, and he will bless you abundantly!

God looks at the heart
Evangelization begins at home
TKC!
“The family, like the Church, ought to be a place where the Gospel is transmitted and from which the Gospel radiates…the future of evangelization depends in great part on the Church of the home.” St. John Paul II
I learned more about my Catholic faith in my home than I did in 13 years of Catholic schooling. This is where the faith is transmitted, this is where authentic examples of a “lived faith” permeate deep into the hearts and minds of kids. Parents, please be conscious of your role as the primary evangelizers of your children!
God bless,

Happiness
Never give up!
TKC!
“I plead with you! Never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.” St. John Paul II
Discouragement is one of the greatest temptations of the devil. Persevering in good is not easy, so we need to renew our love for Christ first thing each day, telling him that the entire day will be dedicated to him and lived for him. If Christ is at the center, nothing is too hard!
