In a recent sermon
Pope Benedict XVI made it clear that one of the greatest dangers facing the church is the destruction of the family. These attacks are coming from every direction and we must stand against them and learn to stay strong in the midst of adversity.
“Our arrogance, our violence, our injustices all press down upon the body of Christ. They weigh upon him … and he falls a second time, to show us the unbearable burden of our sins. But what is it that today, in particular, strikes at Christ’s holy body? Surely God is deeply pained by the attack on the family. Today we seem to be witnessing a kind of anti-Genesis, a counter-plan, a diabolical pride aimed at eliminating the family. There is a move to reinvent mankind, to modify the very grammar of life as planned and willed by God.
But, to take God’s place, without being God, is insane arrogance, a risky and dangerous venture. May Christ’s fall open our eyes to see once more the beautiful face, the true face, the holy face of the family. The face of the family which all of us need. “
In these trying times, Reunion is a place of safety and strength for the family. Every new family helps us grow stronger and every individual gives us strength. Join us, and be encouraged!

At the time of the French revolution, King Louis XVI and his queen Marie Antoinette were living large while the people starved. The price of a bread loaf, the staple of the French diet, cost as much as a year’s wage and neither the King or queen cared one bit. Marie never uttered the now infamous words, “Let them eat cake,” but that phrase describes well her attitude of ambivalence toward the masses.
Many folks in the world today are starving for the nourishment that can only come from sound reasoning. Yet too many “leaders” demonstrate the same queenly arrogance in thinking that sound thinking is too much for our little peasant tummies to handle. So instead of offering the nourishing bread of truth, they offer the sweet tasting crumbs of leftover cake.
This blog offers you “more than cake” with a consistent challenge to the status quo that so many people are longing to hear.
So I invite you all to come, sit, and think with me...
