www.ololmi.org E-mail:[email protected] Weekly Bulletin Sunday March 4, 2012 – Sunday, March 11, 2012 Family Commitment Having a strong family takes work and a commitment to the good of each individual, as well as the whole family. 1. Family members must at times forgo their own immediate gratification to benefit another. 2. All people like to be appreciated, including members of your family. Try “I really like the way that you,… 3. Spend time together even if you’re “too busy.” 4. Healthy humor is a family healer and unifier. 5. Praying together can be a profound bonding experience. 6. Tell each other about your day. Make each family member important to everyone else. 7. Develop a language of acceptance: “words that value feelings, responses that change moods, answers that call for goodwill, and replies that radiate respect.” Honor your father and your mother. Bless every family, Creator. Clergy Rev. Paul Tarabay, O.M.M.
