But I turn to God for Mercy and Forgiveness when I've sinned ... and for Grace to overcome future temptations to sin.

That is the beauty of Faith A.B., I agree with you.

Does the 'article' not say "...families of..."?  Therein lies the basis for my comments.

Pax et bonum.

I still wonder what's being "celebrated". Do we "celebrate" family members who are bank robbers? murderers? shacked-up? Thrice-married-twice-divorced-never-annulled? abortionists? prostitutes? Why then celebrate sodomites?

We might rightly celebrate those who by the Grace of god repent, and abandon intrinsically disordered lifestyles. Indeed, there's more rejoicing in Heaven over the repentance of one such thant over 99 who have no need of repentance.
