Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place

Our new book is available for pre-order from Ascension Press! “I love this book. It provides wise counsel with beautiful simplicity. So, if you are looking to safeguard your family life from the wiles of the enemy and encourage your spouse and children to become the saints God is calling them to be, this is a book for you.” – Fr Gregory Pine Home life can be difficult and busy, and it’s easy to get distracted from the point of it all: raising a family of saints. In Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place, two married couples share what has helped them make their homes a place of encounter with God–a place where saints are being made.

0:00.0	If you've ever done XS 90 before, you know how Easter can easily go from feasting to
0:05.6	binging in no time. Even if you've had a really great Lent, regardless of if you did XS 90

0:29.9	And during these 50 days, it's an invitation into understanding true Christian feasting.
0:35.6	The fact of the matter is, we need structure, even in feasting. So they've put
0:40.5	together a plan of life to help keep some guardrails from temptations of going too far and

1:06.5	I heard it like you started like early, early this morning getting in.

1:16.2	and get in yesterday around three.
1:18.9	I ended up getting it around 145 in the morning.
