Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Christmas is put away for another year. Our modern world is on ordinary time until Valentine's Day. But it's Epiphany now. Our almost secret celebration until our Ordinary Time nudges in for a bit before Lent. With few watching, Epiphany declares the wisdom of adoration. Maybe it is good that the world has moved on. Maybe it allows more space for quiet. A little reflection and longing.

Christmas Season | St. Therese of Lisieux
"It was December 25, 1886, that I received the grace of leaving my childhood, in a word, the grace of my complete conversion...I felt charity enter into my soul, the need to forget myself and to please others; since then I've been happy!" —St. Therese

family prayer | how to pray the rosary
One October, the month of the Holy Rosary, I felt particularly ambitious about getting my kiddos, ages five and fifteen, to pray the Rosary more. At first, I haven’t had much success. The “rap rosary” was a total fail, my teen informed me. The Rosary podcasts had “too much opera” or “the people talk like they need a nap,” reported the little guy. I enjoy saying my Rosary in the morning on my back patio, beads in one hand and coffee in the other, but that wasn’t appealing to my family.

As the clock struck a new hour I could hear my great-grandmother’s voice whispering, “Remember to say, ‘I love you sweet Jesus,’ every time you hear chimes welcome another hour of the day.” It was little practices like these that taught me as a young child how subtle prayer can grow into something powerful.
