Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton

"You have your own basketball team," many people said when our fifth daughter was born. My Spiritual Director instead saw—one child for each decade of the Rosary. I loved that concept as soon as the words came out of his mouth. So, I committed to praying a Rosary every day, and toward the end of the year when reflecting on what faith-based intentions I wanted to have set for life vs. variable, I was not sure where the Rosary fit. The next year, the practice slipped away. I still prayed the Rosary sometimes, but it was sporadic as I no longer viewed it as a daily commitment. However, often when I prayed the Rosary, I thought about how I missed it.

I recognize the power of the sacraments, Scripture, and the rhythms of the liturgical year as core to on-going development, so each year I choose a word for the liturgical year in order to aid in the process of intentional personal growth with a specific connection to the universal call to holiness. If you do not already choose a word for the liturgical year, I invite you to join me and to document your reflections and growth along the way.
