| Don’t cry over spilled milk. Transcend it. Pope John Paul II wrote that the “little domestic Church, like the greater Church, needs to be constantly and intensely evangelized: hence its duty regarding permanent education in the faith.” That’s a tall order for busy Catholic mothers. You might even say it’s as big as a house. You wouldn’t want to clean the whole thing in one fell swoop, but if you take it one room at a time you’ll get the job done. In a systematic course that’s equally useful for groups as for individuals, this talented author shows how to remodel a home — and form a family — after the spiritual design of Holy Mother Church.
“Donna Marie’s latest work is like sharing a spiritual cup of tea with a dear friend. Donna’s warm words invite you into the home and guide you step by step through the teachings on the domestic church. The pages are filled with direction and guidance from her own years of experience as a Mom as well as from the wisdom of the Popes, the saints, and great catechists including Father John Hardon. Reading this book, pondering the reflections, and applying the thoughtful questions to your own life will be time well spent, and when you’re done you will feel refreshed, fulfilled, comforted, as well as affirmed in your efforts to build a holier family.”
