ROME, July 15, 2002 (LSN.ca) – At the First General Chapter of the Lay Missionaries of Charity, Cardinal Saraiva Martins, the Prefect of the Congregation of the Causes of the Saints, expounded on Mother Teresa’s advice to families.  The cardinal said Mother Teresa was fond of repeating, “Love begins at home,” and urged families to spend time together being present to one another.  She warned, “many of the problems of today’s world stem from this lack of love and attention to the people who are closest to us.”  Mother Teresa-the cardinal said- “was aware of the frantic rhythm of that the life that today’s world imposes, but precisely for this reason she invited parents to give attention to their own children, to make their own home a place where everyone can experience love, peace and joy.”  See the full report from Vidimus Dominum at:  https://www.vidimusdominum.org/giornale/framedettaglio.asp?archvio=no&nomearticolo=N020715-02&idarticolo=4428&lingua=EN&sezione=N&nomefile=2002%2FN020715%2D02%5Bd11%2Easp&indicevoce=1
