What are some good ways for families to teach 

Rosa

Father Matthew Spencer joins Patrick to discuss the Domestic Church
(7:24) What is the purpose of the Domestic Church?
Pete - Domestic Church. I am a religious education teacher too. I find it frustrating that parents don't take their kids to mass on Sunday.

(18:18) Break 1
(19:49) What are some good ways for families to teach their children?
Andrew - use Catechism of Catholic Church to teach to kids. grew up in Nigeria and this is what they do. teachers also need to improve their program and base it on this.

(34:20) Break 2
(35:52) Rosa - my children want to baptize their children. what else can I do to explain importance of religion?
Mary Joe - Domestic Church. We homeschooled for 30 years. Parents shouldn’t be intimidated and should realize that you learn so much when teaching children.
Kahlet - we have 4 kids. When they were growing up, we didn't put them in any activities that conflicted with Church time.

Check out this awesome encore show from December 5, 2024 about the power of silence! 

Father Eric Nielsen joins Patrick to discuss Silence
Why is silence important?
(11:41) Vince - What is the connection between silence and Eucharistic adoration.  It seems like every time I try to be in silence, I'm distracted.
Marylou - It’s my middle name! I had a Carmelite spiritual director.  I told him I felt like crying during contemplative prayer. He said it's like driving down a 2 lane road with things in the back. When you put the brakes on, everything comes to the front.  I thought it was a beautiful metaphor.

(23:37) Break 1
Why do we tend to reject silence in our lives?
(28:21) John - Balance between going out and building skill sets and achieving that silence in daily living.  Hobbies - you get adrenaline rushes over certain hobbies.  What is the proper balance between this and contemplation?

(35:39) Break 2
Patrick shares several emails asking about silence
(39:59) what are some good practical ways to develop silence in our life?
Grace - I worked in healthcare for 40 years. When you're working in that field, you have to do everything in succession.  I started going to church after retiring.  I started counting due to what I was used to.  Moved to the front row to remove that distraction.  I have a prayer book that is marked up and it's my workbook.
