On Tuesdays, mass at St Clare is conducted with the school children attending. The familial aspect of faith emerging apparent. God is strongly making evident the need for psychological soundness, humility, and maturity. The children represent the future, the potentiality of hope held properly within their innocent hearts. God is good and giving. Within the ability to find comfort within community is the strength to stand alone. Detachment is greater, more efficacious, amidst the body of the Church. Love and familial longing can never be denied. I recall reading of prison inmates perversely bringing about the reality of families. Inmates create families while incarcerated. Absurdly, husband and wives adopt sons and daughters, a family unit proving essential in allowing the inmates to survive their harsh conditions. The human heart always longs for that which is good ‘our hearts are restless until they rest in God’. To whole heartedly and peacefully come into community is to accurately approach God alone. Healthy adult relationships bringer sharper into focus the ways of God. His voice becomes more pronounced in solitary prayer when love reigns amongst brothers and sisters. God is bringing an advanced depth to my faith life through familial sharing.
