Reports indicate that the Synod on the Family, and the Synod Fathers, urgently needs the prayers of Catholics and Christians around the world.
Never before has the family come under such fierce attack: with same-sex "marriage" having recently been passed in traditionally Catholic Ireland, forced upon the United States by the Supreme Court, and otherwise legalized in nations across the West; with the growing assaults of divorce, pornography, and gender confusion; with the increasing instances of attacks on the freedom of those who believe in the traditional family.
Never before have we been in such dire need of a clear message from the Church, defending the family, and pointing a path forward, indicating we may preserve the family in this time of growint assaults.
