Called to be peacemakers

This was the message I received at mass this weekend. We are called to be peacemakers at home.

It is true, as Father mentioned, that we all have arguements between family members. The Holy Family was definitely not spared. Although it was not mentioned, it would be interesting to know what Mary's thoughts were when Joseph told her that they had to travel out of Egypt.

I know that I have on many occasions been short fused n irritable. It is indeed very difficult to maintain a cool head and remember to be a peacemaker in those moments . But with God's grace, I know I will get better at it. I'm sure you would too.

Let us be mindful of our purpose here on earth and bring the peace of Christ to others, especially our family members.
