Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Righteous Father, the
world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. I
made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which
you loved me may be in them and I in them.”

Reflection:
What would happen if the love of Jesus is present in a
family? There is unity and there is an unbreakable bond that exists no matter
what happen inside that family. On the other hand what would happen
if the love of God is not present in a family? There would be disunity, human
created problems and dysfunctionality which would eventually lead to the
disintegration of the family.
Jesus love for God and God’s love for Jesus is the
only love that can bind and unify members of family. It’s a love
that is humble and persevering; no wonder Jesus remained faithful to HIS
mission of salvation. Jesus humbled Himself even if HE is equal
to God and He persevered to fulfill HIS salvific mission even at the
cost of HIS life.
If spouses want their family to remain united in love
forever they must also have the same humility and perseverance. The children
should have an active prayer life taught by their parents and anchored on their
wisdom filled shepherding as well. Thus, it will not fall to the trap of the
devil who always incite for the dismemberment of the family.
Let us reflect if we have the love of Jesus and God
inside our own family. Let us reflect if we breathe humility and perseverance
for the sake of the well-being of our children. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
