Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Faith Reflection | Hope-2025 | Jubilee of Hope | power of prayer
On my life’s journey, I am not sure that I have always been aware of hope or have even been hopeful. I know that in my later years, hope and faith are the only things that kept me standing, especially during some of the hardest moments of my life. As a kid, I remember many moments that were scary and maybe even traumatic at the time. Even then, I remember just thinking of Jesus or Mother Mary. I knew they could help, but that’s about it. Coming Back to the Faith I can say that I really didn’t know what faith really meant until my reversion about 19 years ago. I am a cradle Catholic who went to Mass, not understanding what real faith meant. After I lost my mom 25 years ago, I stopped going to Mass. I remember my pain being so overwhelming that I thought God had failed me. After all, if you have faith, you are guaranteed that your prayers will be answered.

Behold Your Mother | pray the rosary | seasons of motherhood
Today we will pray the Second Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging at the Pillar. The fruit of this mystery is purity and mortification. As a mom, you will have many opportunities to make small sacrifices every minute of every day. Even now, as an expectant mom, you have already made so many sacrifices and will continue to do so.
