Let's Build a Home

In the charming setting of a conversation, Father Raymond addresses the question facing every married couple establishing a life together: How do we create a happy home, one in which we and our children can thrive both naturally and supernaturally? The fictional dialogue—part fireside chat, part practical catechesis—follows a group of young people, their parents, and wise Father Carl as they “build” a model Christian home, laying Christ as Cornerstone, the sanctity and indissolubility of marriage as foundation, parental authority with filial obedience, family prayer, scripture reading, grace at meals, and Enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as essential beams. Fr. Raymond gives practical advice that is as pertinent today as it was when he wrote the booklet in 1942. Jesus, King of Love and Sovereign Head of every Family, have mercy on us! “We must save the home! This is imperative if we wish to save society . . . Today’s world will not be redeemed unless there are genuinely holy families modeled after the pattern, so simple yet so sublime, of Nazareth.” 109 pages | softcover | 8in x 5in
