Did you dream of your husband or wife? Did you dream today of your parents, your grandparents who carried forward the family to me? It is so important to dream and especially to dream in the family. Please don t lose the ability to dream in this way. --Pope Francis, January 2015, address to families in the Philippines SUNDAY, JANUARY 7 8:00 am For the People 9:45 am John L.
