Catholic Homeschool Conference: Part I

Notes from a great seminar.....

"Teaching the Truth to Our Children"  by Monsignor Dan Deutsch

1.  Teach children to be intimate with Christ, without inhibition through frequent prayer and reception of the sacraments.

2.  Teach children to encounter Christ regularly:  Adoration, Reconciliation, Mass/Eucharist.  "To encounter Christ is to be changed."

3.  Teach children to see the world through eyes of faith.

4.  Teach children conversion: 

The Intellect apprehends good

The Will perceives good and true

The Will orders the Intellect to act upon it

5.  Teach children to develop habits and virtues through many small acts of conversion.

6.  Teach children to share the gift of Christ with others; to be "spiritual warriors" in the world; "to align themselves with Christ in all matters."

7.  Teach children to praise God in all things.  "God does not need our praise, but when we praise Him, He redounds it back to us as the gift of intimate Truth."

Avoid all forms of RELATIVISM....in all things, seek His Face, the "Face of Truth
