St John Paul II wrote that “The history of mankind, the history of salvation, passes by way of the family.”  In this meditation we reflect on the importance of the family in God’s plan and on how we can improve our family life so that we grow in holiness through it and help our children to do the same. We will consider:

• Why family life is so important
• How we can celebrate significant occasions together
• How we can find God in the ordinary duties of family life
• How husband and wife can grow in their relationship
• How we can form our children humanly and spiritually
• The importance of grandparents in the family
