The Holy Family

Model of Love, Unity & Fortitude

Quote:
You dont choose your family. They are
Gods gift to you, as you are to them.
Arch. Desmond Tutu
The love of a family and the admiration of

The

Challenges.
1. Changing Value System Altar b4 &
Now,
2. Filipino families are forced to
separate due to migration which in turn
was due to poverty & lack of opportunity.
3. Strong temptation for the youth, young
people & adults.

1 John 4: 7, 18 - 20
My

friends, let us love one another for love


comes from God. Everyone who loves is born
of God and knows God. Those who do not
love have not known God, for God is love.
There is no fear in love those who fear do
not know perfect love. So let us love one
another, since he loved us first.
If you say, I love God, while you hate your
brothers or sisters, you are a liar.
