Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
We recall our childhood experience of sitting with our parents or grandparents listening to stories of Guardian angels protecting and guiding us, and learning bedtime prayers like this one: Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love, commits me here, ever this day, be on my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen!

Yesterday as Father Dave began his homily, he asked us if we were familiar with the expression “the patience of Job”. I think it would be safe to say that the saint we commemorate today, Saint Therese of the Child Jesus had the patience of Job. She was only fifteen years old when she entered the convent. She died at the age of 24 but from 15 to 24 she endured resentment from some of the other members of her community, experienced interior darkness and the onset of tuberculosis.

While growing up, I would hear adults say, “He or she has the patience of Job.” At first, I didn’t know who Job was. Still, I could tell by their tone and catching part of the story that the person involved was incredibly patient in a challenging situation—many times, it was said about a husband or wife or boss!
