Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Seasonal Reflections | Why pray?
The resurrection of the Lord is so important that we celebrate this whole week as one Easter day and then we will continue to spend the 50 days of Easter time, until Pentecost. We are not just looking at a pretty picture or retelling some fable. Rather we are talking about the central event of all human history.

Evil exists. We all know that. But with Christ’s Church on our side, we’re never alone in the fight.

Celebrating family life | Strengthening family unity
These past few weeks have felt a bit like a movie in the making – surreal at moments. I go to bed and wake up the next day thinking maybe it’s all a dream. I then walk down the stairs to our fireplace room where my husband has the television ready to “watch” daily Mass and I am starkly reminded – it is not a dream. It is very much our new reality.

In recent weeks and as a result of the pandemic occasioned by the Coronavirus many Catholic Christians across the world have been unable to break bread with Jesus, to celebrate mass with a priest present and to receive the body and blood of the Lord.They have not been able to hear the words that Jesus spoke to his disciples while he was still with them; “take and eat, for this is my body, take and drink for this is my blood”.

We all mess up, but in these extraordinary times, being able to confess to a priest may be difficult, if not temporarily impossible. But when the storm passes, Reconciliation will still be there for you.

Venerable Patrick Peyton’s message of family prayer has helped millions of families find their way through life - with all its challenges – on the road to eternal life! We are contemplating key foundations, “charisms” of the spirituality that he learned in his Religious Order, the Congregation of Holy Cross. The second Holy Cross charism is Unity, in the Holy Trinity and mirrored in the Holy Family. Today I want to focus on the triune God.
