Each Christian family is
considered a Domestic Church, being the smallest unit of Christian
community, faith, and practice. It is in the Christian home that one lives out
the faith. The Gospel of Matthew records Jesus as saying "For where two or
three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
(18:20 NAB) What is the Christian home if not two or more gathered in the name
of Christ? Each family, being part of the Church, is charged with much the same
ministry as the parish church; namely worship, Christian fellowship, charity,
education in the faith, growth in virtue, evangelism, hospitality and works of
mercy.
