Love un-conditionaly

Jesus gave us the perfect commandment:"Love one another!"
It is in the family that we learn what love is because it is in the family that we first receive love. The Catechism states:"The family is the natural society in which
man and woman are called to give themselves in love and the gift of life." On the basis of this love,affection and mutual support.Sometimes people complain:My husband/wife/parent does not love/understand/support me. This can be frustrating or even hurting to a relationship.You must "carry each other's burdens,and in this way
you will fulfill the law of Christ"(Gal 6:2). Whether you are a spouse or a parent,your love,support and understanding will go a long way in making your home a happier one. The love and unity in a Family is really a reflection of the love and unity of the Blessed Trinity.The vocation of families is to show God and to let God's light shine through.This love and concern should extend to your neighbors,the less fortunate in the world and to everything that God has made.

Sacrifice & Serve

Happiness increases to the same extent that selfishness decreases.
Just as Christ came to serve, we should be willing to serve those around us.Special
attention,care and love must be given to the weaker children,the handicapped and
the aged members of the family.Children should be taught the value of sacrifice and
service at every opportunity.They should be encouraged to help with chores around
the house. Such children, in whom the seed of virtue has sprouted,develop into
good human beings,and become worthy members of society.
