Reflection
Married couples are called to give witness to faith with love that is total, faithful, and fruitful, and therefore open to life. This love, though beautiful, is not easy.
But we can take courage from Our Lady’s faith. As Pope Francis reminded us last August 15th, the Solemnity of the Assumption, “Mary believes and proclaims that God does not leave his humble and poor children alone, but helps them with mercy, with care.”*
One wife and mother asks, “Is God trustworthy? For many of us, the idea of being open to children can be a scary prospect.” Find out why she shares later, “the next time we’re asked ‘Are you done?’ we can say, ‘We don't know yet. God's not finished working with us.’”
