Watching my girls choose wonderful husbands, being open to life and raising their children in The Church... this quote from Scott Hahn truly comes to reality in their domestic Church/families! It is so true that our faith grows stronger and for sure we take it in more and more as we share it with those we love and then beyond.
It is wonderful to know that all my grandchildren are being raised as lights for the world. Carrying on the words of the Holy Spirit through Patrick at our engagement weekend - "The world needs LIGHTS." After we shared that we were open to a large family and open to life, all the other couples shared that they were only going to have at most 2 kids, some one and some none due to the mess the world was in. It made me feel like we were being selfish and misled... when I asked Pat - he did not hesitate one minute - "The world needs lights." Yes!
Jesus, thank you for allowing us to grow in faith as a family. It gives us the LOVE/LIFE/LIGHT we can take with us as we go down the narrow path following You carrying our Most Cherished Cross. We are filled with your Spirit and are led in right paths. May we be yours more and more and give without counting the cost. For we know that in sharing our faith it becomes more ours and much stronger as we face the storms of life. Jesus, we trust in YOU. St Catherine of Siena pray for us. Amen and Hallelujah
"Oh how sweet is this glorious wood which is our soul's support! It helps us run on and reach our goal! And our end and goal is eternal life. This is the objective I want you to set before your mind's eye, and then you will be a true pilgrim and will reach the port of salvation." St Catherine of Siena (1380)
