Remain in Me: Family Reflection Video

Strengthening family unity

Jesus reminds us to quiet ourselves amidst the chaos in our daily lives.

“Remain in me as I remain in you.” With this phrase God promises us a fulfillment that goes beyond the limits of our fondest hopes and aspirations. But to achieve this wholeness of life, to fulfill our human potential, we must seek Jesus.

To remain in Christ means to conform our lives to his life and his virtues. It’s a matter of daily perseverance, dusting ourselves off every time we falter, and focusing on the good of others beginning in our own families!

Jesus provides us with the ultimate connection, a connection that assures salvation. Let us remain in Jesus; let our lives and homes be his.
