POPE FRANCIS
GENERAL AUDIENCE
Wednesday, 26 August 2015
Dear Brothers and Sisters: In our continuing catechesis on the family, today we
reflect on the importance of devoting time to prayer. We all know how important
prayer is, yet it seems so difficult to find time for it. Perhaps we need to ask if we
truly love God, as he asks us to, with all our heart, and all our mind and all our
strength. For the heart of prayer is the love of God, the source of our life, who
constantly “caresses” us with his own love. A heart filled with the love of God can
make even a silent thought or a small gesture of devotion a moment of prayer.
The Holy Spirit teaches us to pray, to call God our Father, and to grow daily in his
love. Our families need to ask for the gift of the Spirit! Through prayer, even in
the busiest times, we give time back to God, we find the peace that comes from
appreciating the important things, and we encounter the joy of God’s unexpected
gifts. Through daily prayer may our homes become, like the house of Martha and
Mary, places where Jesus always finds a warm welcome. www.Vatican.va

Update of our Refugee Family Our refugee family is settling in well. We are helping them with their English and they also have a Rosetta Stone
program to work on. Mid September they begin classes in ESL at the Multicultural Society while their son will be in child
care at the Society – all for free. Our group have also been taking them out for shopping, dining and to the parks and
lakes. They are very grateful for all that has been done for them. We are organizing a pot luck supper for the 26th of
September at 5:00pm at Immaculate Conception so we can have an opportunity to meet them. So please pencil it in. And
many thanks for your generous support!
