I don’t have kids, and I’m not even married but I’m still going to watch the video 😂
SAME lol 😂
Same here lol
I hope you can start a family soon ❤️
I have a 3 and 7 yr old. We pray every night with them, teach them “The Lords Prayer” and Hail Mary. I read the Baltimore catechism with my older child and different age appropriate bibles for both at bed time. We pray the Rosary daily, all 20 mysteries, after breakfast, on our way to school, store, and bedtime. My oldest is practicing the apostles creed and memorizing the mysteries. We also have a great book of the Saints that she loves and reminds her to strive to live a holy life while we are still here on Earth. Also, don’t be afraid to talk to your children about death. I find so many people are terrified of even talking about death ( my husband struggles with this). But we need to normalize it for them so that they are prepared and expect it, and know not to fear it because of the promises of Christ. This will be their shield when they do have a devastating loss and will help them to not turn away from God in anger and despair.
We paid close attention to who our kids were friends with and to whose home they were allowed to go to. You are so right! Even within “Catholic” families, there is a spectrum of faithfulness to doctrine. We always said that our rules apply no matter where you are. Also, you made a good point about being responsible for the faith formation of your children, even if they go to Catholic school or attend CCD. My son took the Catechism of the Catholic Church to his “Catholic” high school religion classes to dispute the many errors his teachers professed. Parents beware! Catholic education is not a guarantee of our your children being properly formed , and sadly, the case is very often the opposite. I’m sure several of the teachers and the principal were very glad when our last graduated and they didn’t have to endure any more conferences with us.
So so important to know WHY we believe what we believe. And what make the Catholic faith true and good and holy. I think it’s especially helpful to know the answers to common misconceptions about the Church’s teachings ie. confession, “worship” of Mary, transubstantiation in the Eucharist
Yes! Mother of 8 here and we have seen first-hand repercussions from not explaining well enough WHY we do things that we do .
@Cardboard Cape I did mean that! Mom brain haha. I edited to correct it, thanks!
As a retired public school teacher in California, I tell all parents to get their kids out of public schools. They teach curriculum that is anti-Christian and anti-Catholic and there is tremendous pressure for children to conform. Even the concept of gender is now being denied.
Awesome guide! I cant waut to get married and have a family and start new traditions like your family
The soft caring and loving voice you have brings a sense of holiness and trust in everything you say!
God bless you and your family. Please have seven more children!
These are absolutely great ideas. You have been such an inspiration to me. I have gotten involved in so much, had my husband get involved, started praying before meals, church every week, confession monthly, and even enrolled our oldest in Catholic school. Thank you for all your videos!
I am so glad!! Please be careful with Catholic schools though 🤍🤍
@@sashenkadumerve3017 can I respectfully ask, why you say to be careful?
@@ashlyndold6429 Because a lot of kids in Catholic schools in the 80's were not properly catechized. Some were taught there is no Purgatory, among other untruths.
Nice video. I have just discovered your channel recently and it was so refreshing to see a mom of my age talking about God and Catholic faith. You are such a great inspiration and beautiful inside and out! I just ordered a children's bible and prayer book for my 6 yr old son. He goes to a public school but thankfully they have a religion class where they talk about Jesus and he often brings up questions about God and Jesus etc. which is awesome.
Recently I was having conversations with some of my friends who are Catholics and those mums were saying how much they want their daughters to experience living together with someone before getting married. I was just shocked. It made me so sad that they had no idea how dangerous that is. I was even left sleepless that night because I was so sad and although I expressed my disagreement, all I could to was to just pray for them as I knew they wouldn't change their thinking so easily. It made me realize again that not many people, even within the church, just don't know or care about the church's teachings anymore. It made me even more determined that I will try hard to raise my children true Catholics.
100% agreed with this list! We as a family need to definitely be more involved in our church! Sometimes we get a bit overwhelmed with so many devotions but this is what we do as a family. We have a 16 yr old, 5 yr old and 1 yr old.
1. Daily rosary every night as a family.
2. Daily catechism. We went through Baltimore catechism once but now going through it again using our lady of the rosary catechism which is online and very easy and simple.
3. Daily Bible study using father mike Bible in a year.
4. Adoration and confession once a month.
5. Enthronement to The Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart.
6. Traditional Latin Mass.
Youcat is very interesting. There are different versions depending on the kids age . They can read it alone and look for answers to their questions!
Hi Catholic mom. As usual, a very valuable video for Catholic parents and couples not yet married, or married couples not yet parents. You and your husband are a wonderful example of Catholic life. God bless you and all your family. ❤️ 🙏 🙏 🙏
We do not have children and I’m in my late 50s, but I love watching your videos. You have a beautiful heart. I wish that we could have a world filled with people like you.
Great advice. I look forward to incorporating some of these ideas with my family. Thanks!
I can’t wait to get married and have kids. Thank you. Amen. 🙏🏾
You are such an awesome example of a Godly woman
💖🌷💖🌷💖 Love your videos !
I think the most important is fostering prayer: 15 minutes of prayer, even 5 consistently is good. Weekly confession really helps and daily Mass. Very young children may not seem to pay attention but the grace soaks in anyway. We used to point to the host, and whisper to them," look its Jesus". When we go to Mass, we are going to see Jesus.
Catholic radio, especially Catholic answers and Mother Angelica, and good movies about Christ and the saints.
And its very important to teach a deep love for "Mary Mama" from an early age.
Use the means available, media, loving affectionate discipline and especially the sacraments.
Happy St. John Vianney’s feast day.
This is a beautiful video, great tips and lessons.
🙏❤️👏💫👍🌟✝️
Yay!!! Love your videos!!
Hi Heather, I’ve just ordered all three Baltimore Catechism books for my son. Big hugs from Australia. Caroline Xx
Very challenging to be good!
Hello, Heather! 💕
I really loved this video, I think these vdeos are key for Catholic parents! Cold you make a second part explaining how to teach the faith to children? Like, specific examples of how to get the excited about the faith, (e.g. in which time of the day you read the scripture) and how to make them become loving worshipers of God. May God bless you and your family!! 💕
Yes it's true, we have to say rosary as a family atleast, because jesus and mothermary is there in our midst. Amen 🤲🙌🙏
Wonderful advice❤️
Thank you for this!
Greetings from Tx. Great video!👍
Great video ! u look beautiful ! Such pretty blouse
I realized this morning that out of all my grandparents grand children I am the only practicing Catholic and I am raising my son Catholic. So sad!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video..
Thanks so much for sharing this video.l
Thank you dear. God bless you 🙌🙌🙏🌹😍😍🤲🙂
That is such a adwise
You MUST teach you children history and philosophy.
- History ("The Case for Crist" by Lee Strobel and "Cold-case christianity" by J. Warner Wallace.
- Philosophy ("On guard" by William Lane Craig and "Five proofs for the existence of god" by Edward Feser.)
- Critical thinking (see ´mama bear apologetics´)
- Psychology (J. P. Moreland´s "The Soul: How We Know It's Real and Why It Matters")
- Doctrine ("Why we are catholic" by Trent Horn)
your Good mother very catholic mother lam motherl got Good advice you thank you
Thank you 😊
I don't remember whether you mentioned it in your video on setting up home alters, but the family is the first church, and the first society a child is introduced to.
Heather I love your videos. So inspiring! I also love Sister Emmanuel. Have you ever watched her channel? She’s also so sweet and loving. BTW my daughter’s name is Heather. Love the name. Thank you!!
Families.😉💖
Thanks for this tips. We really, really need a community.
Also, could you please talk a little about the Theology of the body in the context of NFP? Or where else can we learn about it?
Another great way to protect children is to wear the medal of our lady of safe custody, which she gave to Marie Julie Jahenny. This is the same lady that received the cross of forgiveness and the purple scapular. Our lady said ''I tell again to fathers and mothers of families, that it would be very good and a the same time a great grace, to have children small and big wear a medal that does not yet exist (It exists now) but one could very well have made, not very large as one would want. This medal would carry the words: O you, Blessed Mother, who has crushed the head of the serpent, keep our faith and the innocence of our little children''. She promised that this would keep the innocence in a time so difficult where pestilence and corruption will be diffused everywhere. - I got some from a french website recently to hand out to devout parents.
Could you do a video on healing from miscarriage and how to trust God through this process? I have lost 2 babies now. Thank you ❤️
♥️ praying for you
St Augustine for assistance with trust. St Gerard for expectant moms. Ensure you are eating well, hormones are balanced, speak to a specialist, good medic re same.
Lizzie, I am so sorry for your loss. I experienced a miscarriage this year and by the power of God and outpouring of grace from the Blessed Mother, a miscarriage support ministry is being created at our diocese, out of my family's loss. Some resources for you that I have found:
Behold your Child from the Archdiocese of Dubuque. Just Google it.
From the Association of the Miraculous Medal website...click on Pray With Us tab, then "Unbaptized babies: your saints in heaven."
Finally my sister, trust in God's Divine Mercy. Your babies are not angels. They are your family's Saints in Heaven. Your Holy Innocents. And you can pray to them!

I also want to add that you have a right to either a funeral Mass or Memorial Mass for your children. A memorial Mass brought enormous peace and healing to my husband and I. Just ask your priest 😊🙏
I'm a lapsed Catholic and want to fix that. I know I need to go to confession. But I'm afraid the priest will tell me its too late. Any advice?
It is never too late. I went to confession this year after 50 years. I actually made a list of what I needed to confess. The penance was easy! I was shocked. first confession in my life that was face to face. Just do it. it is wonderfully freeing.
Trust me the priest will be so happy you are there! It’s never to late!
Definitely go, Heather does a good vid on confession, you will have peace.
Do not be afraid of that. I was a lapsed Catholic and it had been like 20 years since my last confession. The priest was so kind and welcomed me back. The I knew I could worthily receive the Eucharist, both brought me to tears. Don’t be afraid, it is so worth it.
Also, I also heard from a priest, that priests love to hear confession and give absolution for those of us who have strayed, and are asking to be welcomed back
😮😊
I am a Gen Z I am born and will practice being a Catholic Forever Amen.I Would never abandoned God and worship evil.I am a Filipino of Chinese ethnicity born 2006 we Lucas Family are Forever Catholic Amen.-Lorenzo Lucas Username Watson Wu
Forever&Ever Amen
I have 17 yr olds and they will not go to mass they challenge the catholic faith and I feel it’s too late for me to turn them around :( I was not able to defend my faith enough and didn’t correct them . Hopefully one day they will be catholic again.
Can you please add closed captioning?
“Read scripture with your children…” What source do you recommend to read scripture with tweens and young teens? I am looking for something that is not too babyish but easy to understand. Thanks.
The bible and the catechism, my oldest is 10 and i have 5 kids all the way down to 16 months and thats what we read. Plus we have tons of books from TAN books and books from local catholic book stores
We read the gospels together. The Hallow app is great to use too with teens.
Great video!
Are you familiar with the Legion of Mary? I was recently invited to join and would like to learn more from a source that's trustworthy. Just a video idea if it seems interesting to you. God bless you!
Yes! They are awesome!
The problem today is that there’s so much misinformation about Catholicism. If a Catholic does not know their faith will be easily led astray into non denominations list. Here is a new Catholic film that describes the experience of a Catholic nun who saw her friend fall away, worth watching: ruclips.net/video/d0WBOyIkng4/видео.html
I'm afraid to have kids cause there is so much scary stuff out there I know I won't be able to stop them from seeing :(
My dear, please don't fall into Satan's lies. Our response to a fallen, broken world cannot be to not have children. The answer is to have more children raised up in the ways of the Lord. We don't need fewer children. We need more that our Lord can use as instruments of his peace. Pax Christi
Homeschool them. I live out in the country and most Christian fa.ilies here homeschool, keep their kids busy with farm chores and animal Care, and we don't really have much internet access out here, so if you don't get a.tv service, you pretty much can keep your kids away from most problems.
