Family life is a great gift and blessing from God. He has created the family for a very special purpose. Familial love can be a source of great joy. It can bring many graces to us and to our world. 

But many families also face difficulties in our fallen world. Physical suffering, mental or emotional suffering, and the results of sin can bring a lot of pain to families at times. Trials such as sicknesses, accidents, grief over a loss, financial troubles, mental health issues, or communication problems, among other difficulties, can put great strain on family life.

Some family difficulties can feel insurmountable and impossible to solve. As we deal with such difficulties or watch others deal with such difficulties, we should always turn to God for help.
