God Created the Family

Su Voz
GOD CREATED THE FAMILY
GENESIS 2:15-25
“Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.”
Genesis 2:24
God did not just create man, he also created the family. Because the creation of the woman the creation of the man is nothing other than the creation of the family and of the home.

Our Lord also blessed the formation of the family. His presence in the wedding at Cana symbolized his approval of the formation of a new family.

Today more than ever there is a need for Christian homes, created by the Lord and in which the Lord is served and praised.  A home in which each day God’s presence is sought through family worship, through unity and respect for the family, and through the Christian life in action.

We all want to enjoy a home where we live in peace, where tensions and difficulties are resolved under the loving eyes of its Divine Creator.

PRAYER:  Eternal Father and Creator, today I place my home life in your hands, praying that you bless each one of its members and that you allow us to always walk in your paths.  Amen.
