Christ in the Home: Part III - Training

A HOME ruled by the spirit of Christ is a happy home. It is also a school of virtue directed to spiritual transformation in Christ. It is the wise family who lets Him know they want Him always present by striving to put on His mind and establish their family according to His principles. In such a home, husband and wife and children will enjoy gladness of heart, happiness in the fulfillment of duty, and intense union of souls. The strength and honor of the family come from union with Christ which gives power to manifest in daily living the beautiful family virtues of patience, energy, generosity, forbearance, cheerfulness, and mutual reverence with their consequent effect of peace and contentment. This book is an invitation to become worthy transmitters of Christ's life to their family. It is an invitation to fulfill the high purpose of their marriage: to help each other to sanctity and to rear saints for heaven; to possess Christ themselves as much as possible and to give Him to their children.
