Support the Family is to Support in Love

To say that we believe in family and in life is to say that we bet on love

monsignor_jonas_preachingOnly love can build up, and it is certain that it will always win. Even if it takes time, because situations and problems are hard, but love finally wins. That is what we believe and therefore we strive continuously and tirelessly.

You know very well what Jesus told us: “This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you.” This “love one another” is the love that we live in a family because it is not simply love but to love one another. It’s give and receive love. This is what builds the family.

It is easy? No. It is a continuous struggle, a conquest, a real challenge. But we believe in love and cherish this certainty: love conquer.

Our feelings can be hurt, very hurt, but we are not their owners; often, they betray us. But love is not only feeling is mostly attitude.
