Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Relationships die from neglect or harsh criticism. They need at least five positive to every one negative
interaction. Be light and salt in your family by saying that kind word with a note or flowers. Go the
extra mile in helping with family chores. Give encouragement rather than criticism. Let those you love
hear and see that love! Do not neglect your own.
