The Prodigal Family

Hesed we Shalom..nowadays, we have seen a lot of records of family breakdown..from east to west, this 'culture' seem to have no end..Didn't the Lord treasure the sacredness of family in The Holy Family which were including Mary and Joseph?The Lord blessed the sanctity of the Sacrament of Matrimony when He sent His Word to Joseph to not alfraid to take Mary as his wife,and defend the holiness of Marriage..
The families todays in modern time, not better enough than of our Fathers,our ancestors' structural about family..So, did Christ our Risen Lord encounters only sinners and lost children of God?absolutely not..for He is also in the middle of people that has minor sins who becoming holy in Marriage..in acknowledge to the wedding at Cana'a, Cana'a situated at the southwestern of Lebanon as we seen today..He blessed the pure water becoming the wines..the miracle that Jesus performed not only a show how great His love towards family..Family cannot be formed if there are no father and mother to the children of God..why have trouble in mentioning the fact that marriage only can be achieved through the Family?
Mother of Christ interceded to our Lord because Mary our Mother know and in the category of those who 'listened' as the Lord's mentioned in the Holy Gospel..did our Lord need Mother to tell Him what to do?it is because the Lord want Family to intercede towards other family..the matter of families lied upon the well intercession of every each member of 'Domestic Church' that we know as Families..
The family today 'wandering' throughout the empty promises of the world and separated the Grace of the Lord with the families..but instead of these things,the Lord knew and foresee everything in the 'rebelious' attitude of the prodigal families today..He is slowly and with very tender voice who is calling each children of the families to come to Him to save and bring back prodigal families..
Hard to understand?in more simpler word,we as the young people are called to take place in the middle of the every families in God instead of our own comfort zone of our very own family..Dominus Vobiscum..
