At the year’s start, for forty days, we look upon the Holy Family in the manger scene. At the Wedding at Cana, Christ establishes marriage as supremely sacred (man can’t alter it). A great tragedy is that so many misguidedly think they, or ‘their love,’ is the foundation of their marriage. Wrong! On account of our fallen condition, we have very little genuine and sincere love (symbolized by having no wine). Christ is the foundation of marriage; pray Him to bring His divine love into your marriage. Seek our Lady’s intercession, and keep her words in your heart throughout the year: “Do whatever He tells you.” Consider as well the beautiful Epiphany blessing which the Church gives homes only during the Christmas season — that health, chastity, the victory of virtue, goodness, humility, gentleness, obedience and thanksgiving to God will abide in your home. When God gives a blessing, one must cooperate with His grace. Then, despite the darkness all over the world, the Catholic family shall be a light of thanksgiving and glory to God.
