Check out Fathers Day resources https://marfam.org.za/fathers-day-resources-2025/ for June 15.

June 14.   Just before Youth Day the Theology of the Body diocesan team presented a powerful and positive talk on youth sexuality and spirituality.  They knew it was a tough issue for the young boys and girls and was too often associated with sin, but should be seen in a more life-giving light.  Afterwards a number of the youth asked to go on to join in a Love Matters programme too that they had heard about. “It will help to confirm us in our beliefs.” Jane said.     

Reflect, share and act. Scripture: On behalf of Christ be reconciled to God.  For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21.    Pope Francis:  A sexual education that fosters a healthy sense of modesty has immense value.  It is a natural means whereby we defend our personal privacy and prevent ourselves from being turned into objects to be used. AL 262.  JUBILEE: As we know from personal experience, every sin “leaves its mark”. Sin has consequences, not only outwardly in the effects of the wrong we do, but also inwardly, inasmuch as “every sin, even venial, entails an unhealthy attachment to creatures, which must be purified either here on earth, or after death, in the state called Purgatory”.  In our humanity, weak and attracted by evil, certain residual effects of sin remain. These are removed by the indulgence, always by the grace of Christ, SNC 23.  Act and pray. For the needs of families and children as appropriate.
