The Holy Family: Resilience, Perseverance, and Grace
By Frank J. Maduri
The family unit has been under increased pressure from society and so many families have accounts of sadness, conflict, and are on the verge of disintegration. The recent homilies from Pope Francis center around the 100th anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions in Fatima and the revelation that Mary told the children there that the final battle with the devil will center on the family.

It was just a normal day, or was it ?
By Helen Mac
It was a normal Sunday morning and I was at 11.30 Mass, as normal. The Priest had walked down the isle to the altar with the Deacon and altar servers at his side, as normal, and my oldest daughter and two children had slipped into the pew beside me and this was also normal.
