Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
For Christmas, we gave our middle grandson a world globe. It provides a wonderful adventure for exploring our planet, its rotation, national boundaries, time zones, longitude, latitude, land, and seas. Indeed, it is a colorful spherical graphic of our home in the grandest sense, a three-dimensional resource for learning – at his fingertips. There is no touch screen, no batteries. It does not light up. It simply teaches at a glance: geography, human society, climate, and more. It is also a depiction of God’s creation.

Each January 9 around the world, we celebrate the birth of Venerable Patrick Peyton. However, as you know, this year January 9, we celebrated the Baptism of the Lord. But what makes our offering a Mass of thanksgiving for Father Peyton today providential is that January 10 is the date Patrick Peyton was baptized and became a new creation, an adopted son of God.
