Thoughts and Prayers for Families

From the first Patriarchs to Jesus, Mary and Joseph at home in Nazareth, the Bible is full of family life. Sharing a home with people you love - and who love you in return - is a foretaste of Heaven. It doesn't happen by itself: family life has to be cultivated. The God-centred family reflects God's Nature - which is pure, unselfish love. The giving of happiness to others in God's Name is the finest form of family worship.
