Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton

What a glorious time of year this is: celebrating Jesus’ Resurrection after experiencing the sorrow of Lent. For forty days, we wallowed in sadness as we walked through not only the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ but also our own struggles with temptation as we tried to unite our little sacrifices with His. By devoting extra time to prayer and church services, fasting, and giving alms, we fight Satan just as Jesus did during His forty days in the desert. I was blessed to spend time this Lent studying St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, which were almost exactly in sync with our liturgical readings. As I read and meditated on three different Gospel readings each week, I was touched more than ever by really contemplating the events and how they applied to my life.
