of the family that molds its citizenry. It is
everyone’s mission to work together for the
interest and welfare of the families. The
integrity of the family must be promoted and
protected by the society as a whole. If the
integrity of the family is undermined through
legislation, which legalizes divorce, abortion,
and contraception, then the family is no longer
preserved.

welfare of the family and its members are not
respected and promoted.

24. 1.) No matter what you’ve done for yourself
or for humanity, if you can’t look back on
having given love and attention to your
own family, what have you really
accomplished ?

25. 2.) "Trouble and failure are a permanent part
of life. They are not, however, a good
gauge to measure your marriage by" .
3.) There is no such thing as the perfect
family. Every family is unique with its
own combination of strengths and
weaknesses.
4.) "If you allow bad material into your
home, you can expect negative results".
