That would truly be a way to support our families. However, I am afraid your political leanings will force you not to take such a stance. Very sad in many peoples opinion, and with potential harm to many immigrant members. With prayers to you, and with the hope this is read (although I suspect it will never be posted). Perhaps that is why I find myself, and many others, turning away from an increasing partisan Church.

It took Columbia a decade's worth of research to come to this conclusion? And there is only ONE day set aside for it? And to interject a little Catholicism, what happened to grace before meals?

I hope this blog is hopefully read by many Husbands and Wives. I grow up in the Bronx and our family dinner was fun telling our parents about what had happend when we were playing that day. I also remember the times when my Mom would be down in the aprartment of family of eight children. My mom would put a towel on the railing and my sister and I knew our lunch would be in their apartment. We would walk back to school with their children. Our school was St. Angela Merci in the bronx. My dad was a bus driver and at night he would tell us all the stories he heard of the people on the bus and we so enjoyed those stories. Yes! Family live was alive in those years. God Bless you Cardinal Dolan! Sister Loretta Cardanial Dolan, You are right on tarket!

It was early for dinner, but I would not have had much time to see my father during the week if it wasn't for sitting down and having a meal together. At the time I thought it was silly to have dinner so early but I realize now how grateful I am for the time we spent together. My brother does the same with his children now. I think that it's one of the reasons why they are thoughtful, caring and well behaved children.

Family meals together are so important. There is a reason we always read in the Gospels that Jesus was eating with people. Eating ritually establishes a connection. Just a thought: if dinners don't work, try breakfasts. Sometimes during hectic weeks, breakfasts can be unifying times too! I agree. Family meals together are so important.
