Today’s Reading: Matthew 19:3-12,27-30; 20:20-23; 26:6-13; Mark 10:10-27,32-52; 14:3-9; Luke 18:31-19:28; John 11:55-57; 12:1-11

Matthew 19 talks a lot about the family. It reiterates the sanctity and importance of marriage bonds, and implies the preciousness of children.

In our highly individualistic culture, family can be easily neglected. Yet, the Lord would have us take better care of our relatives.

May we grow to know and appreciate the true value of those we call family.
