The Lampstand: God's Vision For The Family

Fortify Your Marriage During Lent Featuring Kathleen and Troy Billings

March 03, 2023 • Family Rosary • Season 1 • Episode 16

As Catholics, we know Lent is a penitential season: a time for us to repent and make sacrifices to help us grow closer to Christ. When we grow closer to Christ and become more like Him, it translates to all areas of life, and in a particular way within marriage. In this episode of The Lampstand, Alex Dee discusses how Lent can be a special time of spiritual growth of intimacy with God and relationships between spouses. Kathleen and Troy Billings discuss their new book “Simply Love: Catholic Marriage Day by Day” published by Our Sunday Visitor. Together, they share their wisdom and experience to build a strong marriage and how they have built a community of families around them on fire for Christ and the Rosary.

At Family Rosary we equip families with the Light of Christ and inspire the practice and devotion of the Rosary. We continue on the work of our founder, Venerable Patrick Peyton, C.S.C. and champion the message, "the family that prays together stays together".
