“The Christian family is a communion of persons, a sign and image of the communion of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit (CCC 2205).




The Catechism gives an ideal image of the Christian family, which is often difficult to attain, even under the best circumstances. What happens when the family system is infected by the “family disease” of addiction? Session three explores the emotional upsets that disrupt the system, such as blame, shame, anger, guilt, and grief, and ways to restore the system to health so that the family can begin to work towards that beautiful image we all strive for. The virtue of courage will be introduced because it takes courage to face our fears and love at all costs.
