Change does not happen without opportunity,
but resisting is natural. But why? Pride is one
reason. Remember the story of the prodigal
son. This was a young fellow who had to get really hungry before he
came to his sense. Another reason we resist is cultural and business
traditions that can give us blind spots. But here is one answer we can
all live by.ÒRather than being offended with those who are slow to
change, be grateful for what you have.Ó

Why Our Name ÒFaith And FamilyÓ
Faith: A wise man once said, Òif you desire great faith be prepared for
great trialsÓ. There is some truth in that
statement. Just think how many of your best
traits were learned through adversity? IÕm
guessing most of them. Faith is rarely born in
a moment of grandeur. There is an intrinsic
meaning to the world, but we cannot see it
without eyes of faith, and faith grows as we
look to Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith.
Family: One of the gifts my parents gave my
brothers and me was an imperfect home. They taught
us that we are created in the image and likeness of God.
They also taught us that we should not to be bystanders
to racism, discrimination, or scapegoating. Their
teaching was consistent and it was showered with
love. This gave us security and a foundation of trust.
ÒEvery effort to make society sensitive to the
importance of family is a great service to humanityÓ - Pope John Paul II
