Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
How can we get to heaven? Or, as the rich young man asked Jesus, “Teacher, what must I do to obtain eternal life?” Of all the New Year’s resolutions, a recommitment to asking and acting on that question is the most important one we and our family members can make.

Sometimes, we think we know better than God. It seems like an illogical statement to make, but then we just need to look at today’s first reading from the prophet Samuel.

Have you ever had a dream where you heard a telephone ring or a person calling your name? It’s something that happens in my family, at least among the guys—who ironically are also the hardest to wake up!

God calls each of us. We may not see or hear Jesus the way that Philip did in today’s gospel, but Jesus still “speaks” to us in varied ways.

How are you doing with your New Year’s resolutions? Are you still going to the gym, drinking more water, using that calendar and diary system? It’s a fair question. We are three days into the New Year, and we’d all like to make some improvements.

Today, we remember and pray to St. Peter Canisius, priest and doctor of the Church. He lived in the 1500s and, as a Jesuit, worked in South Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and Switzerland during the Counter-Reformation. He was a tireless and influential preacher and teacher for adults and children. One of his famous sayings was, “If you have too much to do, with God’s help, you will find the time to do it.” That’s good spiritual advice at any time, but especially with only a few days left till Christmas Eve!
