As we continue our Decade of Mission 2026, today we reflect on Christ as the foundation of marriage and family life.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells His disciples:
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
These words remind us that every Christian family is called not simply to live together, but to journey together toward God. In a world filled with confusion, division, and uncertainty, Christ remains the true path that leads families to peace, unity, and authentic happiness.
Today’s reflection is offered by Fr. Richard Soo,
who invites us to rediscover Christ at the center of marriage and family life.
Bishop Michael Kwiatkowski continues to encourage all faithful of our Eparchy to:
• pray together as families,
• reflect daily on the Gospel,
• support one another in faith,
• and become witnesses of hope and truth in the world.

Missionary Tasks for Today:
1. Personal level:
Ask yourself today: what can I do to help my family move closer to God?
2. Parish level:
Reflect on how you can help your parish become a more vibrant place of proclaiming truth and new life in Christ.
3. Missionary level:
Help at least one family who has not yet found—or has lost—their path to God to rediscover it.
May Christ guide our families on the path of truth and life.
May our homes become places of prayer, forgiveness, and love.
And may the Holy Spirit strengthen every family suffering from fear, separation, or hardship.
