Let Peace Begin With Me

In John 14:27, Jesus tells his disciples (and us), "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid."*

​

When my sons were young, my home did not have peace.

My heart did not have peace.

My heart was troubled by the mom I had become,

and I was afraid of who my children would grow up to be if something didn't change. 

​

By the grace of God,

I discovered peaceful parenting;

and I began parenting this way in earnest when my sons were 9 and 5 years old.

​

And my relationship with my children was transformed. 

​

Peace needed to begin with me. 

​

The purpose of this blog is to help peaceful parenting be accessible to other Catholic parents who are striving to raise their children with the same love and compassion with which our dear Lord shows us.

​

Welcome.

​

I am glad you are here. 

​

May Christ's Peace be with you.
