Hello and welcome to The Institute for Family Health and Well-being.com (IFHWB.com). I am so happy you stopped by!
The purpose of IFHWB.com is to help Catholic women, men, couples, and families find peace and strength during this difficult time.
The way forward in this current culture often seems unclear, almost like we are looking out at a future that has little we recognize as landmarks that used to guide us.
We know all that happened in 2020 has significantly affected us. This has caused so much stress for couples and families, and communication difficulties often add to frustration and unhappiness in our relationships.
The mission of IFHWB is to help you navigate these challenges and help you find peace and contentment, as well as more effective communication strategies, so you can embrace the joy of living.
My deepest desire is to help you obediently serve God through believing He is here with you, guiding and directing you through the Holy Spirit's voice in your head and your heart.
Learning to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit is not as difficult as it may seem. It begins with asking for the Holy Spirit's help and then trusting ourselves and the deepest desires of our hearts.
We all want to create loving, connected families that we feel are able to support and strengthen each member to become the most loving exp
Learning to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit is not as difficult as it may seem. It begins with asking for the Holy Spirit's help and then trusting ourselves and the deepest desires of our hearts.
We all want to create loving, connected families that we feel are able to support and strengthen each member to become the most loving expression of the Holy Spirit within ourselves.
We want peace in our homes, not chaos. We want people to love each other and demonstrate loving actions, so that each family member feels a sense of belonging and security.
We also want to help each other get to heaven - that is our overall goal in life - to spend eternity in heaven with God and those we love.
Please use the writings and links on this website to help yourself and your family grow closer to God and to one another through prayerful, holy encounters and moments of grace. If you have questions about anything you read here, do not hesitate to reach out to me: 651-208-9829; ksoucheray@ifhwb.com.
Developing a beautiful family culture is something worth working for. The rewards of your efforts will be great and will be passed on to your children for generations. Your efforts will be worth the work, and as you watch your family grow in holiness, you will be so happy you dedicated yourself to this important task.
It is much easier to lose sight of our way than it is to stay focused on our goals. That is because our brain is wired to worry (as if you didn't already know that!).
That is not what God wants for us. He wants us to know we can trust Him and rely on Him to help us get through difficult times. He wants us to use prayer, the Sacred Scriptur
It is much easier to lose sight of our way than it is to stay focused on our goals. That is because our brain is wired to worry (as if you didn't already know that!).
That is not what God wants for us. He wants us to know we can trust Him and rely on Him to help us get through difficult times. He wants us to use prayer, the Sacred Scriptures (the Bible), and Adoration to help hear His voice in our heads and our hearts.
He wants us to use the Sacraments to help us receive His grace, or His Presence, in our lives, to help us find peace in the midst of these challenging days.
He wants us to remember that He is with us always and that we are never alone. He has NOT left us. This is a confusing time and we will get through it with His help and the help of our faith.
Take time today to pray. Read the Scriptures, attend weekly Mass with your family, pray the Rosary, and attend Adoration if your Church has an Adoration Chapel. Life is made up of moments and we must remember that God is with us in all the moments of our lives. Embrace your life right now and celebrate the moments of today. Believe that you are enough and that this moment is enough. God is good and faithful.
Always!
