"Family
life can be a great means to becoming a Saint. First, it entails all
areas of self-control, self-discipline, with many areas for acts of
charity, acts of self-denial, acts of sacrifice, and opportunities for
sound moral values, sound moral standards, and good example.
Family
life can be the foundation to give God many Saints. It is never too late
to start. It is never too late to change the pattern that a family has
begun in their action of Faith in God.
When
individuals balk at what is right, what is good, what is sound, what
will benefit him or her, or the family as a team, the very balking says
irresponsibility, immaturity, and there is cause for alarm. Prayer, in
most cases, for this person is the answer, for all the talk in the world
cannot supersede God’s Intercession. Example, of course, is necessary,
but prayer positively necessary.
It
is time that families stop talking about communication and involve
themselves in it in a manner and a way that is feasible, practical,
logical, and is supported by Faith in God.
Many
men reading this would say, ‘It
is too late for us, it takes too much effort. We’re over the hump. It
would be too much trouble now, it would cause more dissension. I tried,
but couldn’t do it. It’s just too late.’ These, of course, are all
negatives which probably, in the beginning, caused the basic problem in
the first place.
Criticism
in families is a great deterrent to happiness; selfishness, a major
deterrent to happiness. Laziness is a great deterrent to happiness.
Today, though we all know we cannot change many areas, or correct them
overnight, we have a duty to those we love, to pray for them and not
ignore them, giving up on them, or disowning them. We must see them as
God wants them, not allow our personal feelings to become more than God’s
Intention for them.
Family
life is a treasure and a responsibility. These words must be thought
about and looked at in the degree that a positive action will help in
many cases and situations.
Do
not forget, not only certain members of a family were picked to become
Saints. All members are on God’s
list for this Goal of Life."
All Revelations
are delivered spontaneously and continuously as witnessed by all those
present at the time.
