“So what does it mean to be a disciple of the Lord? What does it mean to follow him, to be on mission? The Lord himself helps to clarify that when he says being a disciple is basically two things: Listen to the word of God, and put it into practice – ‘Hear the word of God and do it.’” (Luke 8:19-21)

“Families need to be the teachers of the Church in terms of what they’re going through, and listening to how they express it can help us to understand how best to communicate the message of the Gospel,” said Smith.
