Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
What was one message coming through the Scriptures today? There were at least four personalities all of whom I found to be inspiriting. First there was Justin, the saint of the day. Then there was Ben Sera whose poetic words in the Book of Sirach I found to be so spiritual. Lastly there was Tobit with his wife Anna who could be the neighbors next door. All four were seekers of the Truth, good to the core.

Healing the family | Return to the Church
In the United States, we have a tradition of visiting our deceased relatives and friends each May 31st, on which we celebrate Memorial Day. As we stand at their graves, there are those we knew well who touched our lives and those we know only by name and family stories. For each of them, we stand and say a prayer of thanksgiving to God and pray that they are joyfully in Heaven.

MAY is Mary's month, and I Muse at that and wonder why: These are the opening words of a favorite poem of mine that I like to return to during the Month of Mary, May Magnificat, by the great Jesuit poet, Gerard Manley Hopkins. Asking why May is Mary’s month, he invites us to get caught up with her into praise of God and into the life of the Spirit!
