About this sermon
Today marks the end of National Vocation Awareness Week. The annual celebration is a time to learn more about the many forms of religious life, and a new book examines the formation of the faithful from the perspective of a seminary rector. In "Forming Families, Forming Saints", Fr. Carter Griffin aims to give advice to parents on becoming saints and raising children to be saints. In the book, Fr. Griffin, rector of the Saint John Paul II Seminary in the nation's capital, adapts the 4 pillars of priestly formation and applies them to family life. The book is filled with interviews from Catholic parents and examples from the lives of the saints. Fr. Carter joins to share why he wrote this book and why now. Fr. Carter explains the 4 pillars of priestly formation and how they can begin in the family environment. Fr. Carter grew up Presbyterian, graduated from Princeton, and spent 4 years in the Navy. He discusses what it was about the Catholic faith that he found so attractive. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
