This week, I had to balance marriage and family life with kids, extended family life, work and preaching 2 Sunday homilies, while assisting as a police chaplain which is part of deacon ministry.  The kids also helped set up a Christmas tree.  I'm proud of my kids.

I brought all these intentions above back to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at my parish for Sunday Mass.

For Jesus and Mary.
