Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Are you impatient with your own imperfections and those of others? Do you think you or some others in your family could stop being demanding around the home? Do you wish you or some others in the family could pitch in more ready when there is extra work to be done? Do you wish you or some others in your family were more excited about going to mass? Are you tired of being patient with a friend or family member who has a bad habit? What you would really like is for the other person to change.

I pray millions of people will see it and be moved by Father Peyton’s message that is so important for families today, "the family that prays together stays together."
