Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Thank you for joining me again this week. Last Thursday we reflected on the second charism of the congregation, Unity, rooted in the Holy Trinity and mirrored for us in the Holy Family. We reflected on the love of God that is the reason for all to live in unity – and the grace to make it possible! Today, we'll continue our reflection of this charism putting our focus on the Holy Family ... and our own families as well.

Seasonal Reflections | Why pray?
The resurrection of the Lord is so important that we celebrate this whole week as one Easter day and then we will continue to spend the 50 days of Easter time, until Pentecost. We are not just looking at a pretty picture or retelling some fable. Rather we are talking about the central event of all human history.

Venerable Patrick Peyton’s message of family prayer has helped millions of families find their way through life - with all its challenges – on the road to eternal life! We are contemplating key foundations, “charisms” of the spirituality that he learned in his Religious Order, the Congregation of Holy Cross. The second Holy Cross charism is Unity, in the Holy Trinity and mirrored in the Holy Family. Today I want to focus on the triune God.

Last week we began to consider this first charism, asking “what is Divine Providence”. Today, let’s think about trust.

I am convinced that the Lord has very important lessons for us to learn this Holy Week. Christians believe in Divine Providence, not chance. Not that God wants to make bad things happen to us, but rather He is always with us, guiding and leading us to the fullness of life - - as we learn and grow on our way.

A message on a sign in front of a Church this past week read: “O Lord, I didn’t know I was going to have to give up so much this Lent!” What has happened has led us to what we might think of as our communal Lenten experience and so then consider as well what the Lord intends for us to learn together!
