Fr. Leo: Grace Before Meals - Week Six, Families: Part 1
Let us not grow tired of doing good,
for in due time we shall reap our harvest,
if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
Life can be tough. How do we handle it? Often the only way to get through another day is with God's grace. The next few weeks are dedicated to all of those awesome families out there who may need the encouragement to 'keep doing what you're doing!" Keep trying. Keep plugging along. It's the only way to live. Choose life and persevere!
Perseverance is a unique word. it is packed with meaning, In it are the words per, meaning 'through' and severe. Implied in this work, however, are the virtues of faith, hope and love. The only way we get through anything 'severe' is if we truly know and believe from the depth of our being that we can make it with God's help, if we have hope that we are not alone in our struggles and if we love something or someone enough that we will endure even the most challenging situations.
Let's Talk
Have you ever had to give advice and encouragement to someone facing a big problem?
What would you tell that person?
Have you ever thought of the family as a 'domestic church"?
What does that mean for you, your family,and your relationship to the Church?
Let's Listen
Deuteronomy 31:6
6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
