Living Faith as a Family ‘Love one another’ is the gospel commandment at the heart of family life. If the world is to be a place of self-giving love, then it has to start with the tiniest cell of human loving: the married couple, the family. Through countless everyday caring actions in the lives of spouses, parents, children, extended family, neighbours and friends, the family is a source of hope in the world at large. From the life-giving presence of a newborn child to the wisdom of an elderly grandparent, ‘all members... have the grace and responsibility of building, day by day, the communion of persons, making the family “a school of deeper humanity”: this happens where there is care and love for the little ones, the sick, the aged; where there is mutual service every day; where there is a sharing of goods, of joys and of sorrows’. Our parish has produced a booklet called ‘You, Family, and Church’ to support and encourage parents in their ministry. It can be downloaded from this page, and copies can be obtained from the Rectory.
