Why the Domestic Church must be rebuilt in Catholic Parishes to accompany 8th Grade Confirmation?

The greatest mystery of Catholicism is the Blessed Trinity. The interior life of God, His image and likeness, revealed and shared in human persons both individually and collectively. Male and Female He created them. Marriage forges an indissoluble union of self-giving love between one man and women. That love becomes so real nine months later they gave it a name. And their union which was two in one, now mirrors the Trinity as three in one.

The human person, marriage, and family are the visible signs of this invisible reality of God’s presence in the world. These icons have been intentionally redefined leaving successive generations no way of knowing who they are, where they can find fulfilment, and how to authentically love.

We were made by love, for love, to know love, and to be with love for all eternity. The roadmap for that destination starts in the home within the family, the building block of society, which communicates this first to its individual members and then society at large. A society whose existence depends on re-establishing this forgotten reality in the world.
