Today is Family Day in Ontario. The family was very important to St. Josemaria. Last week Pope benedict was promoting the importance of large families at his general audience on Wednesday. He said "In today's social environment, families with many children are a witness to faith, courage and optimism, because without children there is no future."

This evening here in Canada on Sun TV, Michael Coren will be discussing large familes on his show "The Arena" at 7pm EST. Michael's wife is the eldest of a family with 15 children. Her mother was my inspiration to not be afraid in having a large family.
It is important that we reflect on family today and consider the posibility of building a large family yourself.

Wishing you a happy Family Day.
