“In Nazareth God came to us in ordinary life…in Nazareth we learn to connect details of our ordinary family life with love who is God,” taught Catherine Doherty.

In this collection, especially designed for use by Christian families, Fr. Blair Bernard, a parish priest who spent many years at Madonna House, presents Catherine’s writings on the spirituality of Nazareth, family life, the celebration of the liturgical year. marriage, and Cana Colony.

“I feel the book is a must-have for any Catholic couple living within their own Sobornost or Trinity of Persons and desiring to bring each other, and their children, to Christ. Around the corners of every page are anecdotes, deeply practical thoughts, and answers to questions about every facet of family life you can imagine. Particularly interesting to me was the section dedicated to handing on the Faith through celebration. Within this section are concrete ways to bring the liturgical year to life within the home. Catherine recalls the rich customs and traditions she had growing up in Russia, and adds customs from everywhere else… Yet there is not only practical wisdom within Nazareth Family Spirituality, but also a goldmine of spiritual and psychological wisdom… it would be a fantastic wedding gift for a couple just starting to build their own set of traditions and customs. My new copy already looks old—it has been dog-eared and underlined and it will be well used in the coming years.” — Sarah Gould, Catholic Insight
