TOA all speech trail back to Christ. Keeps a focus.

Many websites and books to get ideas. If you a part of a prayer group/ bible study an excellent way of learning to cultivate a Catholic home.

Concrete Practices, lived experience is not exhaustive

Don’t swallow camel whole, Rome not built in a day. Takes a long time authentic liturgical. Need some, children need grounding. Every profession a practicum taught to do job well

Motherhood soundly disparaged during our younger years. We didn’t see the good practice of motherhood. Intense lovers and caretakers of the home.

Make a house a home. Run to and run from.

Positive elements. Incense of motherhood is cinnamon. A home have an aroma, Byzantine church, old Church one of beeswax

Smells anchor them to their memories. Find something that speaks to your heart, and shared.

Ex/ read Bible in the Year, limitations, don’t let enemy be the enemy of the good.

VIII. Contrast to other types of homes

A Catholic home should look and feel different from non-Catholic homes. It should smell and sound different. Sometimes imperceptibly. What is being said and viewed is a marked difference. The dress and concern/ charity for others.

Ex/ England (not Catholic, empty no one home) vs France ( Catholic someone is always home). Eucharist always present in the Church and Christian. Mother be greeted, a living and breathing house. Not latch key kids.

Eucharist source & summit, heart beating within the home. Challenging statement.
