Thoughts to Ponder
There is a sacred thread
connecting us to one
another.
It is not the actual physical exertion that counts towards one's progress, nor the nature of the task, but by the spirit of faith with which it is undertaken.
-St. Francis Xavier

Prayer for Families
God and Father of us all,
In Jesus, your Son and Savior,
you have made us your
sons and daughters
in the family of the Church.
May your grace and love
help our families in every
part of the world be united
to one another in fidelity
to the Gospel.
May the example of the Holy Family,
with the aid of your Holy Spirit,
guide all families, especially those
most troubled, to be homes of
communion and prayer and to
always seek your truth and live
in your love.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
