Listen "Imperfect and Holy, a look inside the Guzman Girls Domestic Churches"
Episode Synopsis
Today, we're diving into one of the most foundational and often overlooked pillars of the Church: the domestic church.What IS the domestic church? Simply put, it's the family. It's where faith is first taught, lived, and passed on, not in RE classes or homilies, but around dinner tables, bedtime prayers, car rides, and messy mornings. The domestic church is where saints are quietly formed, one ordinary day at a time.But here’s the thing—no two domestic churches look the same. Some families pray the rosary together every night. Others are juggling sports schedules, noisy toddlers, and trying to remember where they left the Bible. Some homes have two parents, some are led by a single parent, and others are held together by grandparents, aunts, uncles, or foster care.And yet, all of these families, in all their unique chaos and beauty, are called to be holy ground.Helpful Links:Tuck In Time explained Kim’s Emeals referral link https://share.emeals.com/x/wofarcJP2 Did not say, “Virtue is practiced within the arena of the family”.
