My Domestic Church

Why the Domestic Church?

This is a term that I came across about a year ago that describes any Christian home that centers their lives on Christ.  We are all called to be Brothers and Sisters of Christ and in doing so, it begins in the home.  As parents, we are given the awesome responsibility to raise our children to love, serve and obey God.  This all begins in the home, the domestic church.  According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "The Christian home is the place where children receive the first proclamation of the faith.  For this reason the family home is rightly called 'the domestic church', a community of grace and prayer, a school of human virtues and of Christian charity. (CCC,1666)".   

This blog is about our family's journey of faith.  I am no theologian or expert by any means; but I am on fire my faith and have this burning desire to share it!!!  In order to seek better understanding of the truth, I rely upon the wisdom of the Magesterium of the Catholic Church,  the Bible and the Traditions of the Church that have been passed on for almost 2000 years!  I love that the Catholic Church has many early Church Fathers, Church Doctors and Saints that are able to demonstrate the path to holiness.  I am a humble Christian woman who wants to serve the Lord.  I desire a deeper and stronger relationship with Christ.  As the mother of this home, it is my primary responsibility to teach this faith, the Catholic faith, to our children.  I am anxious to share our experiences as we stumble along this journey, knowing that Jesus is always right by our side and at times even carrying us.  I want to share my love of the Catholic Faith and Jesus Christ with the world.  I welcome all thoughts and reactions to anything that is posted.  As I continue to grow in my faith, I hope to inspire and encourage others to do the same.

Be a saint!  What else is there?
