As a Marriage and Family Therapist I celebrate the chance to help married couples come to a better understanding of the Sacrament of Marriage. Sadly we have lost a sense of marriage as it was intended by God in the beginning. This blog is about marriage as it applies to scripture and the lives of the saints. As a Marriage Counselor I invite you to walk with me on a journey within the rich anthropology of our faith. The sacredness of Marriage is what this blog, and my work is all about.

Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Good morning. We are all called to live the Gospel and as parents to offer an example for our children how it should be lived out in their lives. Today we celebrate the Feast of the Queenship of our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. There is no better example for us as parents for living out an example of the Gospel message than that of Our Blessed Mother. Throughout her entire life Our Blessed Mother lived a life of obedience to the word of God. As parents we should pray daily to her for guidance and her intercession that as parents we too may offer lives of obedience to God’s word. Parenting can be quite a challenge. When all else fails turn it over to God. Turn to our Mother for her loving intercession. Make a great day!

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

BOOK OF THE MONTH

Awhile back I was out splitting wood when someone in passing introduced himself. Knowing me to be the parent of three of our four children whom the passerby knows he took the time to compliment me on what nice children Linda and I have. I suggested that most of the credit truly belongs to their mother and he responded that I likely had a play in it in some way and that whatever we did it should perhaps be put into a book. I thanked him and he went on his way and I resumed splitting wood with increased energy as a result of his kind words. This kind man is possibly correct about putting into a book whatever wisdom I might have to offer, but short of my ever getting any such wisdom published I might suggest reading the work of Peter Kreeft Before I Go: Letters to Our Children About What Really Matters. This delightful collection of instructional and at times humorous reflections by the author would likely reflect the type of things I would be inclined to put into words myself for my own children. Among many enlightening points the author makes, one which really needs to influence all that we as parents do is his point that the greatest gift which we give to our children is the gift of faith—their awareness of God. He likewise makes another critical point that when we are gone, “when the parent is dead, it’s too late to share the most precious things he knows.” This book should be part of every Christian family’s collection.
