When the power of love overcomes the love of power.
We all want our children to be successful and famous, just like the woman in today’s Gospel. But our children need something more than worldly success; they need the forgiveness of sins, a personal commitment to their faith, and a deeper relationship with family and God.
Strive to move your children and all your loved ones in the direction of eternal success. Take the time to teach them to worship God through family prayer and valuable, fruitful conversations. It starts with you, lead them by your own example.
Pray together:
Dear Jesus, you assure us that whatever we ask in prayer, you will give. Please bless us in a particular way with patience when our prayers are not answered in the way we would like. Help my family and me to hear your call and love each other unconditionally. Amen.
