Amoris Laetitia, on love in the family continued 20. This thread of suffering and bloodshed runs through numerous pages of the Bible, beginning with Cain s murder of his brother Abel. We read of the disputes between the sons and the wives of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the tragedies and violence marking the family of David, the family problems reflected in the story of Tobias and the bitter complaint of Job: He has put my brethren far from me my kinsfolk and my close friends have failed me I am repulsive to my wife, loathsome to the sons of my own mother (Job 19:13-14, 17). 21. Jesus himself was born into a modest family that soon had to flee to a foreign land. He visits the home of Peter, whose mother-in-law is ill (cf. Mk 1:30-31) and shows sympathy upon hearing of deaths in the homes of Jairus and Lazarus (cf. Mk 5:22-24, 35-43; Jn 11:1-44). He hears the desperate wailing of the widow of Nain for her dead son (cf. Lk 7:11-15) and heeds the plea of the father of an epileptic child in a small country town (cf. Mk 9:17-27). He goes to the homes of tax collectors like Matthew and Zacchaeus (cf. Mt 9:9-13; Lk 19:1-10), and speaks to sinners like the woman in the house of Simon the Pharisee (cf. Lk 7:36-50). Jesus knows the anxieties and tensions experienced by families and he weaves them into his parables: children who leave home to seek adventure (cf. Lk 15:11-32), or who prove troublesome (Mt 21:28-31) or fall prey to violence (Mk 12:1-9). He is also sensitive to the embarrassment caused by the lack of wine at a wedding feast (Jn 2:1-10), the failure of guests to come to a banquet (Mt 22:1-10), and the anxiety of a poor family over the loss of a coin (Lk 15:8-10). 22. In this brief review, we can see that the word of God is not a series of abstract ideas but rather a source of comfort and companionship for every family that experiences difficulties or suffering. For it shows them the goal of their journey, when God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more (Rev 21:4).

Count On Me Ministry This is a compassionate group of parishioners who come together to cater to funeral receptions. This group of volunteers makes a loaf of sandwiches or a dessert square (either bought or homemade) for funeral luncheons approximately three or four times a year. This is done on a rotational basis with approximately 48 hours notice. Also, if you are interested and available, teams of individuals work at the reception by preparing and serving coffee and tea, serving the lunch and cleaning up afterwards. Again this is done on a rotational basis with each team working approximately four or five times a year. Whether you are working, retired, a teen, a senior, a man or a woman, you are all welcome to join this group of individuals in this most necessary ministry. If you are interested and able to provide this service to your parish, please contact Janet or Dave Madigan at 705-327-0380.
