Fr Varghese Parackal reflects on the Christian call to be like Jesus by learning His life of prayer. Through Scripture he shows Jesus praying before ministry, decisions and suffering, teaches that the Spirit of the Son enables us to cry 'Abba, Father,' and calls Christians to make personal and family prayer part of everyday life.

Fr Michael Payyapilly reflects on the Christian responsibility of forming children in faith from the beginning. Through Scripture, family stories and his own childhood memories, he teaches that parents pass on God's love through presence, example, prayer, correction and the seeds of faith that may bear fruit many years later.

Marriage is a sacred vocation that needs more than affection and human effort. Fr Antony reflects on praying a blessing over one's spouse, guarding the family as a foundation, seeking personal conversion and inviting the Holy Spirit to sustain what human strength cannot hold together.

No Christian is immune from temptation or spiritual attack, but human weakness does not cancel the faithfulness of God. Fr Antony reflects on Saint Peter's fall and restoration, the spiritual protection of marriage and family, and the call to imitate Christ's self-giving love.

Fr Joby George VC reflects on the Holy Spirit as the Spirit who unites and on unforgiveness as a root that divides families, relationships and communities. Drawing on Scripture and his own struggles with anger and forgiveness, he explains why human forgiveness becomes exhausted and why we need to receive the forgiveness of Jesus from the Cross until it overflows from us to others.

Fr Michael Payyapilly offers a practical teaching on sustaining Christian marriage: never take the covenant for granted, keep discovering the beauty in one's spouse, give the self rather than only material things, face burdens as partners, reject blame and selfishness, preserve fidelity, and protect the marriage through shared prayer.
