Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
It is autumn in this region, and we are watching the natural rhythm of the season unfold. “Rhythm” is one of those words we use in different ways. A few examples include the beat of our hearts, the meter of a poem, or musical tempo. When we set out for a walk with loved ones, we find a mutual sense of stride – a “together rhythm” for the walk. Rhythm can describe how we pace our daily activity; we’re “off rhythm” when we don’t feel our usual efficient selves.

They speak of an understanding of saints as men and women who are perfect in everything and as people who live an out-of-this-world life. This perception is not accurate. While there are saints who live in heaven, there are also saints on earth trying their best to live out the gospel.

“Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.” Those are the words that I most often say at the end of Mass. And they’re the words that each one of us tries to live each day, guided by the Word of God and the promptings of the Holy Spirit. But we know that our ways don’t always naturally follow God’s.

Mass with Children | raising kids in the faith
CatholicMom.com contributor, Megan Cottam reflects on the ways young children naturally witness to the faith. “Why do you bother bringing your kids to Mass? Isn’t it a hassle?” “Religious concepts are for older folks. Little kids are too young to understand.” Any of this sound familiar? For us moms with small kiddos, it can be daunting to handle the rejection that comes at us when we are doing our best to raise our children in the faith.
