Today’s Gospel reminds us to put God first in our lives and the role of the family in nurturing faith and teaching God’s values.
In the story, Jesus stays behind in the temple to talk with the teachers, showing His close relationship with God the Father. But He also returns home with Mary and Joseph, obeying them and teaching us the importance of being humble and respectful to our parents
The Gospel reminds us that our homes are sacred places where we can grow in faith, love, and kindness.
As the saying goes, "The family that prays together stays together."
Let’s make prayer a part of our daily lives! Take time to pray together as a family.
This is the 1708th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Israel Silud, Regional Coordinator for East Asia, as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
