This morning at Mass we heard the story of Jesus meeting the disciples on the road to Emmaus. As we listened the Gospel being proclaimed, I remembered reflecting on this story after Grandpa died. Grandpa loved to travel, especially to drive on a road trip.

My family adopted my sister. This weekend love forged another bond as my sister got married.

We have a new project starting at work and I've spent many of my working hours over the last few weeks project planning. We've been preparing work breakdowns and effort estimates so we can make a commitment to the business regarding the project's timeline. It's challenging work because there is much unknown at this early stage of the project. As I've spent some time reflecting on this experience of project planning, I was struck by how we approach risks and uncertainty.

We want our children to love these treasured stories as much as we do.

We sat together to enjoy our treats and talk. It was a quick, simple, unplanned, spontaneous conversation. Conversations like this should be common in our domestic churches.

Every evening my family gathers around our kitchen table for dinner together. I look to each of my children and ask "What did you do today?" This week our dinner conversation led to some insights about prayer.

There's a new voice in my domestic church and I've been learning to understand that voice. Learning to understand my daughter's voice has given me a little more insight into how to understand God's voice.

My daughter ran to my wife and exclaimed, "Me so happy!" She unwittingly challenged me to find joy in simple things. Matt Maher's Alive and Breathing reminded me when I find joy to praise the Lord.

The bishops of the United States wrote a message to families titled Follow the Way of Love that elucidated the symbolic potential for the experience of love in the family to reveal the love of God and to engender faith within the members of the family.

Businesses shut down and our homes became our offices. Schools closed and our homes became our classrooms. Parishes closed and our homes remain our churches.
