We May Never Know by Joseph R. Veneroso, MM

We may never know how many hours they sat by our beds waiting for our fever to break, or on the couch for the phone to ring, or at the door for our letter to arrive saying, “We miss you, Mom and Dad!”

We may never know how much they sacrificed to put a roof over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and books in our hands.

We may never know their thoughts as we left home, their prayers for our safe return, their tears at the thought the time would one day come to for one never ending goodbye. Were their hopes and dreams fulfilled? Their prayers for us all answered? Their disappointments too few to recall, their faith in us unshaken? We may never know.

A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar

Jesus was worried about his disciples and he turned to prayer. No matter how much time we spent trying to “guard and protect” our children, each day they become less dependent on us and we must let go and let God. Prayer and par-enting go together.
