~A Family Perspective~

Today’s gospel reminds us the Kingdom of Heaven
is not like Disney’s Magic Kingdom.
Admission to Christ’s Kingdom is paid
with the currency of acceptance, forgiveness,
attention to the poor, and love of one’s enemy.

~Marriage Moment~

Hopefully your spouse is never physically
or emotionally abusive to you.
If you don’t feel safe, however,
and there is a violent pattern,
get counseling or make an escape plan.
If it’s non-violent and only occasional,
look for what’s out of balance in your beloved’s life.

~Parenting Pointers ~

As families travel and reunite over holidays
like Thanksgiving, it can be a happy but stressful time.
Remember the wisdom that Jesus told Martha
as she complained about having to do all the work
while Mary sat at Jesus’ feet listening,
“Martha, Martha, you worry and fret about so many things…
It is Mary who has chosen the better part.”
(Lk 10:41-42)
