Blessings! Family Reflection Video

Strengthening family unity | Celebrating family life

I was fortunate to be with my parents and family members for Easter.

During the holiday, I was surrounded by so many people who have influenced my life, and I felt God’s presence through them. We receive numerous blessings from God, but often miss them around us as we stay preoccupied with what we do not have.

Jesus helped the apostles understand that they receive many blessings from God and invited them to be a blessing to others by bringing peace and healing. God accompanies our mission because it’s His mission.

May the joy and peace of Risen Jesus Christ fill our hearts and families. Let us feel the blessings that surround us.
