“We go to Nazareth, that hidden little village…to become whole again” taught Madonna House founder Catherine Doherty. In Nazareth-based meditations such as The Spirit of Nazareth: Forming a Community of Love, The Duty of the Moment is the Duty of God and “Becoming a Prayer” Turning Work Into Prayer she reveals herself an expert at demonstrating how family life can be a pathway to God. Catherine also meditates here on the vocation of marriage and family in chatty chapters such as “May I Come Into Your Kitchen?” where she will go over a checklist of the basic religious practices essential to the soul of any Catholic home. With children, the best way to communicate the Faith is to “celebrate” it. Here for the first time unique cycle of seasonal liturgical traditions carried out by the Madonna House family, a hidden gem of Christianity in North America, is presented for adaptation in your home. Gathered from the Christian East and West these seasonal traditions include the Epiphany marking and blessing of door lintels to Holy Thursday’s Supper of the Lamb and dozens more. Catherine’s wise responses Two questions on dating and discipline are included plus her profoundly insightful meditations on couples in Gethsemane and Sobornost (Deep Unity) with the Trinity and each other in marriage.
