Six Sacred Rules for Families:\u00a0 A Spirituality for the Home<\/em>.<\/a>\u00a0 I was so pleased to read it.\u00a0 The Muldoons speak from years of experience\u00a0and offer gentle wisdom to families who wish to get more out of their daily life together.\u00a0 They help readers discover how\u00a0the ins and outs of family\u00a0life can point back to God and how every moment spent in the \u201cdomestic church\u201d (i.e., what the Church calls families), is a moment of profound grace\u2013if you know where to look for it.<\/p>\nSt. Theresa of Calcutta used to tell parents who asked her how they could achieve holiness, \u201cGo home and love your families.\u201d\u00a0 The Muldoons offer parents a way to see how their love can reflect the love that comes from God\u2019s own heart.\u00a0\u00a0Inspired by\u00a0St. Ignatius of Loyola Spiritual Rules, the Muldoons offer 6 rules\u00a0that can help every family bring their faith home in new and dramatic ways.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 God brings our family together on pilgrimage<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 Our love for one another leads to joy.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Our family doesn\u2019t care about \u201csuccess.\u201d<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 God stretches our family toward his kingdom.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 God will help us.<\/p>\n
6.\u00a0 We must learn which desires lead us to freedom.<\/p>\n
The Muldoons describe the significance of these six simple rules for their family and yours.\u00a0\u00a0 They freely admit that they are not saints, but the good news is that you don\u2019t have to be perfect to follow God\u2019s path to perfection.\u00a0 The Muldoons offer a realistic picture of a family, struggling together to find God and grace as they face trials, celebrate life and learn about love from one another.\u00a0\u00a0 It is a book that is both touching and transformative at the same time.\u00a0 I hope every Catholic family will read this book and discover the incredible spiritual treasure that is buried in the heart of their home.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
