Greetings to all!
This Sunday, Mother's Day, provides an opportunity to reflect on our
lives in families. Below are several quotes from Mother Teresa in which
she puts our family life in a world context.
"Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let
us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread
joy, we need for every family to have joy."
"Everybody today seems to be in a hurry. No one has time to give to
others: children to their parents, parents to their children, spouses to
each other. World peace begins to break down in the homes."
"Where does love begin? In our homes. When does it begin? When we
pray together. The family that prays together stays together."
(from Mother Teresa: In My Own Words)
