Welcome back! Janelle is back, and today we’re diving into an important lesson from our family’s morning prayer time—addressing the vice of gluttony and its opposing virtue, moderation. As Catholic parents, we strive to teach our kids these spiritual truths using great resources like The Virtues for Catholic Youth from Catholic Sprouts.

We explore how gluttony isn't just about overeating but being controlled by food, which is a growing issue in our culture. From processed foods to the "bliss point," we uncover how modern society has twisted our relationship with eating. But there's hope! We discuss practical ways to mortify our senses and teach moderation, even in small, everyday actions.

Relevant quotes:

On Sept 13, in Singapore, Pope Francis to an assembly of youth:

“One of the things that has impressed me most about the young people here is your capacity for interfaith dialogue. This is very important because if you start arguing, “My religion is more important than yours...,” or “Mine is the true one, yours is not true....,” where does this lead? Somebody answer. [A young person answers, “Destruction”.] That is correct. “ All religions are paths to God. I will use an analogy, they are like different languages that express the divine. But God is for everyone, and therefore, we are all God’s children. “But my God is more important than yours!”. Is this true? There is only one God, and religions are like languages, paths to reach God. Some Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian.”

Though it may seem tough at first, this message carries profound spiritual significance for living out the Catholic faith. These saints encourage us to embrace God's will, especially during life's most challenging moments.

Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we delve into a vital conversation about Catholic parenting and what it means to raise a truly rich Catholic family. A recent question from my daughter—"Dad, do people who have no faith have a harder life?"—prompted us to deeply reflect on the wisdom of St. John Chrysostom and its relevance to our roles as Catholic parents.

Throughout this episode, we share personal family experiences that have influenced our approach to Catholic parenting. We discuss the significant decision to scale back on career commitments to prioritize family, the importance of building a strong Catholic community, and how spiritual growth has become central in our lives.

We also address the challenges Catholic parents face today, particularly the struggle to balance career demands with the need for solid faith formation for their children. Whether you’re contemplating a move to a more faith-centered community or seeking ways to create one in your current environment, the takeaway is clear: the salvation of our children is more important than any career or worldly success.

Join us as we explore how to raise Catholic families rooted in wisdom, guided by the teachings of St. John Chrysostom. Let’s journey together toward nurturing spiritually rich lives for our children.

Key Takeaways:

• The importance of detachment from worldly riches.
• How Catholic parenting focuses on guiding children toward God’s will.
• The critical role of community in supporting Catholic families.
• Timeless wisdom from St. John Chrysostom on raising children in the faith.

In this video, we explore the profound wisdom of St. Alphonsus Liguori and St. John of Avila, who teach us that the essence of perfection lies in embracing the will of God in all things, whether prosperous or adverse. While it’s easy to align ourselves with God’s will during good times, true faith is tested when we face hardships and challenges. As St. John of Avila so beautifully put it, “One ‘Blessed Be God’ in times of adversity is worth more than a thousand acts of gratitude in times of prosperity.”
