199 The Origin of the ”Domestic Church,” Pt. 2

On Tuesday, October 25, host Trey Cashion completed his review of the article, "Domestic Church? Hold On, It's Just a Family!" by Word on Fire Institute Fellow Robert Mixa. You can listen to the first episode here. Trey used this second installment as a jumping off point from Mixa's explanation that Vatican II recovered the patristic understanding of the family as a domestic church. Trey worked through sections 34–36 of Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, to explain how the family as domestic church carries out the Church's three offices of priest, prophet, and king. The discussion will spur you to think anew about your own family's role in advancing the kingdom of God. Remember, only God can take the mystery out of parenthood. Pray, parent with a purpose, and prepare for God to amaze you. He will!
