The question

My family is fighting all the time and I am very troubled by this, what can I do?

The answer

Do not be discouraged about the situation at home, but pray to the Lord to help you deal with it. Try to bring your family together around the Word of the Lord. As we are at the beginning of the Holy Great Fast, suggest to your family to get together every evening to read the Holy Bible. If you manage to gather around the Word of God, and read one chapter every day together, that will  bring peace into the house. Also take this opportunity and pray together. Let each one pray from their heart and say audibly what they feel and what they wish to have happen in their lives. This will get you all closer to each other.
