#TheProphesyOfSimeon #PassingDownFaithToChildren TOPIC: DO YOU PASS DOWN YOUR FAITH TO YOUR CHILDREN? First Reading: 1 John 2:3-11 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 96:1-2A, 2B-3, 5B-6 Alleluia: Luke 2:32 Gospel: Luke 2:22-35 If we desire the best for our children, then we should pass on to them our faith. More than any material inheritance which can easily disappear, their faith will accompany them in the most trying times of their life, will help them not just survive but flourish in their tough times. It will help them relate with goodness and kindness to all. It will keep them from engaging in harmful and sinful activities that may lead to depression or anxiety and, eventually, self-destruction. It will give them enormous perspective and wisdom to life that no object or ideology will be able to provide. It will keep them ever-reliant on the Lord. This is the 631st installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: 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 and Bong Arjonillo’s Facebook pages. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
