Since it's for a contest, once you view it, "like" it to vote for it.

Personality

I have always felt that just as each person has a unique and individual personality, so too does each married couple and family.

A personality means that a person will react a certain way to events in their life, they will choose certain people to be close to or associated with, they will be drawn to practice a certain kind of spirituality and prayer, and they will choose activities and a lifestyle based on their personality.

A couple's or family's "personality" means that one family may choose to be very active in their church or school, another family may devote time more to sports, and another family may choose to live a quiet life at home, avoiding lots of extracurricular activities. Some families choose to homeschool by "unschooling," and some choose to have a tight schedule and curriculum to follow.

While each couple and family need to discern what their unique "personality" is, it is important to also remember that what is right for you and your family may not be right for the Jones family or the Smith family or the...

That's right, don't give into peer pressure at any age or stage!

Happy New Year

We are already well into 2011--especially since the Liturgical New Year began weeks ago with the first Sunday of Advent!

I always try to start the (calendar) New Year right by praying the Preparation for Total Consecration by St. Louis Marie de Montfort. It begins on December 31 and ends on the Feast of the Presentation on February 2nd. What better way to give the year to the Lord than by consecrating oneself to Him through weeks of prayerful preparation and a devotion to His Blessed Mother.
