Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Daniel, my baby-turned toddler, is a destructive force these days. At 18 months, he is a study in superlatives – seeking the tallest slides, biggest toys and making the loudest sounds. Lately, I have taken to thinking of him as Mr. All-In. Like many new toddlers, he leaves a trail behind him of broken toys, open cupboards, and an absurd amount of cracker crumbs.

“Temptations prove thee.” A line from a prayer book I read this morning stopped me in my mental tracks. I had been talking the night before with my daughter about the value of professionalism in our world and how important it is to apply the concept to our thoughts as well as our actions. The words struck a chord, reminding me of the value of intentionally directing myself rather than being swept along by roaring currents.

I recognize the power of the sacraments, Scripture, and the rhythms of the liturgical year as core to on-going development, so each year I choose a word for the liturgical year in order to aid in the process of intentional personal growth with a specific connection to the universal call to holiness. If you do not already choose a word for the liturgical year, I invite you to join me and to document your reflections and growth along the way.
