When you are devout and faithful to the Church and to your family, your children grow as witnesses to your life. They follow your example and put God at their foundation. There may be a child that falls off the path, but just like the story of the prodigal son, there is always a way back. As your children raise their own families, they will teach their children all they learned from you.
2. Your love for Christ fills your house
When you are filled with love for Christ and you allow Him to fill your heart, your cup will runneth over onto your family. Even when times are tough, no darkness can overpower the Lord’s mercy and love. Joy can be felt in your home and visitors will see and feel the joy of a family in love with Christ. Love for Christ is infectious, even if it is quiet and humble.
3. Your children will surround themselves with friends, and in some cases, a spouse, who is faithful to the Church
A faithful servant to the Lord will become the rock of his or her family. All will come to you for advice and comfort. Even family friends and extended family will see you as the rock and come to you in need. Because of this, when your children are out on their own, they will seek the Church as it is home away from home. Here your children will find friends and mentors who will walk the path of faithfulness with them and offer comfort in times of need.
4. A holy death
Besides getting to Heaven, dying a holy death is the ultimate reward of faithfulness. You will be surrounded by your family who will be praying the Rosary together on your behalf and giving praise to the Lord for giving you to them.
Before you leave you will receive Holy Communion and Last Rights, and say your last words to your family. Your family will watch as you slip into the arms of Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph and begin your new eternal life. Tears will be shed; tears of sorrow because your loved ones will miss your physical presence, and tears of joy because of the loving legacy you left behind and the knowledge that you will be with them in spirit.
