How much time will you spend with your spouse today? Some studies say that the average couple spends only
20 minutes a day together. Do you need to increase face time? On your wedding day you promised to love each
other for better or for worse. What is a “for better” that your spouse has made in your life?
Share it before you go to bed tonight. For more tips and resources to strengthen your marriage, visit www.foryourmarriage.org.
Marriage – Love and Life In The Divine Plan: Gratitude As a husband and wife are thankful for one another and
express their gratitude in the giving of themselves completely to one another, so this gratitude is open to the further
gifts that this self-giving literally embodies: that is, a gratitude for the possible further gift of children. Inherent within
a husband’s gratitude for his wife is that together with her he can beget children. Inherent within a wife’s gratitude for
her husband is that together with him she can conceive children. Together a husband and wife are gratefully open to
the gift of children.

National Migration Week, January 8-14 This year’s theme is “Welcoming Christ in the Migrant.” As
Catholic social teaching on migration developed, three fundamental principles came to inform Church
teaching on this issue:
1) People have the right to migrate to sustain their lives and the lives of their families.
2) A country has the right to regulate its borders and to control migration.
3) A country must regulate its borders with justice and mercy.
People of faith must seek a way of balancing their valid security needs while at the same time striving to
meet the basic human needs of others. Parishes and individual Catholics are called to proclaim the Church’s
message of hope and welcome; to create a society that acknowledges the vital contributions of migrants, refugees,
and other newcomers to the United States; and to seek to gain basic rights and protections for those living and
working outside society’s mainstream. For more information on our responsibilities and those of migrants go to:
http://usccb.org/about/migration-and-refugee-services/national-migration-week/ and www.justiceforimmigrants.org
