Chapter 5: Creating the Future
Sexual intimacy between a man and a woman raises the
possibility of children. There are many other honorable
relationships which include degrees of commitment and
affection, but marriage has a unique mission: to integrate the
fertility of male and female with the fidelity of God’s
covenant. Catholic parenting relies on the same rationale as
sacramental marriage: love in the shape of service, sacrifice,
trust, and openness to God’s will. If and when a marriage is
blessed with children, love orients parents to their children’s
education and spiritual formation. Jesus said to his disciples “Let the children come unto me,” and it is the
responsibility of all Catholic adults to shepherd children into a relationship with God and the people of God.
The whole parish should be involved in supporting marriages, families and children. We build the future of our
society child by child, family by family. Vatican II called the family a “domestic church,” and the little church
of the family takes its orientation from the faith and mission of the larger Church. It is a mother’s and a
father’s responsibility to be with children at home and in church, and to pray together regularly. Children will
learn the faith only when they are taught.
The way a family responds to adversity,
or gathers for meals, or makes financial
decisions and sets priorities - these and
many other aspects of “home
economics” shape the values and
identities of our children. “Love is our
mission” because even in the middle of
our humble daily routines, Catholics live
with a bold and glorious purpose. Christopher C. Roberts, catechism editor

serve those in need in our community and will provide long overdue maintenance and
upkeep--like the repaving of our parish parking lot! Here’s Mr. Oaktree to share ways to
