•”Be merry, really merry. The life of a true Christian should be a perpetual jubilee….A prelude to the Festivals of Eternity.”
-St. Theophane•

•The Devil will exaggerate your spouse’s failures and inadequacies, sow suspicion and jealousy, indulge your self-pity, insist that you deserve something better, and hold out the hollow promise that things would be better with someone else. But hear Jesus' words, and remem-ber: God can change hearts and remove all hardness if we will allow Him•

•Women today are taught that work that is paid is the only worthwhile work. It's not true. Being a wife, mother, and homemaker aren't paid positions but without them, nations collapse as we are witnessing today.
Our value doesn't come from a paycheck. It comes from God alone•

•The desire of love is to give.
The desire of lust is to get.•

•Mary could say of Jesus as no other mother ever said her first-born son: He is mine and mine alone. Every other son has an earthly father who has a share in his begetting. lesus had no father save His Father in heaven. Thus He was Mary's own child, her sole property and possession. What union could be more close (the hypostatic union alone except) than that of Mary and Jesus?
-Fr Lasance•

•"Nature itself made the name of mother the sweetest of all names and has made motherhood the very model of tender and solicitous love”
-Pope Leo XIlI•

"In family relationships, love is really spelled T.I.M.E."

•June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The meek and humble Heart of Jesus is full of love for humanity, it is the antidote to the sin of Pride•

Having a child with a disability is not a detour- it is a vocation. A sacred calling to love in a radical, unmeasured way. It may not be the life we imagined, but it is full of meaning, full of grace, and full of God.
And perhaps, when we look back years from now, we will see how our child led us not only to a deeper love- but to holiness.

•You will never look back on life and think, “I spent too much time with my family”•

•If your large family brings ridicule from neighbors and even strangers, remember that you have a lasting treasure worth suffering for, and that the Lord called “blessed are those who suffer persecution for justice’s sake.”
– Fr. Lawrence G. Lovasik•
