Ahead of the World Meeting of Families with Pope Francis in Dublin 2018 we will be sending you weekly reflections for couples and families based on the Sunday’s Readings. 
Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time (Mal 1:14 – 2:2, 8-10 1Thess 2:7-9, 13 Matt 23:1-12)

Do we both work hard and devotedly?

We cannot avoid being challenged by the devotion, protection and love given to the followers of Jesus by St Paul and his companions. Can we say with equal certainty that in living our vows and commitments, we work as hard and devotedly? Yet this is what we married couples are called to strive for in our relationship with each other.
