Homeschooling For Catholic Parents

**BONUS** Episode - The One Advent Habit We Wish We’d Started Sooner


Listen Later

In this bonus Advent episode of Homeschooling for Catholic Parents, Maeve and Matt pop in with a ten-minute “Advent present” for you: one simple, golden piece of parenting advice that can make Christmas calmer and saner for years to come! They also share an update on their family’s Flame of Love Rosary tally for November, rejoicing that 19,070 souls were released from purgatory through prayer. Along the way, they explain what purgatory is (and what it isn’t), touch on 2 Maccabees and praying for the dead, and offer a super do-able alternative to complicated Advent calendars.

  • How 2 Maccabees shows praying for the dead as “holy and pious”
  • The simple Advent parenting hack that changed our Christmases:
