Listening to members of the domestic church
I once heard that Catholic tradition refers to the family as our domestic church. I have often reflected on that phrase. There is a profound truth to that early statement in the Genesis creation story that it is not good for a human to be alone (2:18). For those of us who are married and perhaps have children, this is the intimate community to which we are invited to experience God's love at its most basic level. At its best, we draw deep chords of support from the variety of forms of love that are experienced in a family.
