Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Faith Reflection | Pentecost | family prayer
Flávia Ghelardi shares a guided meditation on the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. In this practical series on meditation using Father Kentenich’s method, we will meditate on the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What do you think God wants to say to you through this message? Meditation is a personal encounter with God, to grow in love for Him. Because it is personal, each person will experience this encounter in a different way, in a unique way. Thus, each proposed exercise is intended only to present an example of what this conversation with the Father can be like, so that you can get an overview of the whole process.

May | Pentecost | family prayer
Pentecost, arriving in one of the busiest times of year, brings relief and perspective to Kathryn Pasker Ineck. Ah, June. June is a balm after the craziness of May, a month that can be a wild ride, whether you have schoolchildren or not, because there is always such a flurry of activities to attend. Years ago, my friends and I referred to it as “Maycember” because, like Advent, May arrives with an overfilled calendar of good things: dance recitals, class parties, tournaments, graduations (for all the stages — kindergarten, eighth grade, high school, college), and [insert excuse to celebrate]. With better weather and theoretically free-er weekdays, suddenly weddings, barbeques, park days, and hikes are on the docket. “Quick! Let’s get together before all the swim lessons start and the vacations separate us!”
