VI. The Domestic Church

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1657
It is here that the father of the family, the mother, children, and all members
of the family exercise the priesthood of the baptized in a privileged way
“by the reception of the sacraments, prayer and thanksgiving, the witness of
a holy life, and self-denial and active charity.”¹⁶⁸ Thus the home
is the first school of Christian life and “a school for human
enrichment.”¹⁶⁹ Here one learns endurance and the joy of work,
fraternal love, generous – even repeated – forgiveness, and above all divine
worship in prayer and the offering of one’s life.
