I am a firm believer that our faith and love of God needs to be reinforced at home. This is called the domestic church. I will give you practical ideas that you might try at home to reinforce our beliefs.
We started the year by discussing St Carlo. We discussed that he was a normal boy who loved Pokemon and videogames, just like many of us. There was one thing he loved more: the Eucharist. He combined his love of the Eucharist and technology by creating his own website about Eucharistic miracles. Unfortunately he died at a very young age, but his website is still active. We spent some time exploring his actual website and they were astonished at many of the miracles they found. I urge you to check it out too!
