Our Moral Life in Christ (Didache) Part Two
- Summary
-
So often we have a “hodgepodge” of information in our brain about our faith, instead of an organized knowledge of why we believe what we believe. It can also be hard to see how the facts we know about our faith, or even the faith in our hearts, can translate into day-to-day life. The goal of this course is to help students “organize” and add to their knowledge of the faith, as well as be able to see how the faith we profess in the pews each Sunday should extend beyond the Church building into everyday life – and to also see why that is so important in our lives and the lives of those that we encounter. Christian moral living is not boring, but leads to a more exciting life than we can imagine!
In Part Two of this course, we will continue with our in-depth study of the commandments, why they still matter today, and how broad their reach really is in our lives. We will also be looking at different types of prayer, learn what it really means to pray and why it shouldn’t be boring, acknowledging that the moral life cannot be truly embraced apart from prayer. We will wrap the course with a broad overview of how to practically live a truly Christian life.

About Holly Vaughan
Holly Vaughan comes to Homeschool Connections with an extensive background in parish catechetical work. She has experience in catechesis with all ages, particularly with middle school, high school, and adult faith formation.
She has not only taught, but been involved in curriculum creation for all of these ages, and is especially interested in creating classes that teach in the format developed by the Early Church Fathers, which roots everything we learn in Scripture.
While studying theology at the University of Dayton, she was accepted to the Master’s Program at Augustine Institute to study for her MA in Theology with a concentration in Sacred Scripture. She has a special love for helping high school and young adult students grow in their faith, and for the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults, both of which provide many opportunities to see people come alive as the teaching of our Catholic faith resonates with them in a new way.
Holly lives in rural Southern Illinois with her wonderful husband, who is a farmer, and their three sons, one who graduated from Homeschool Connections and one who is a current Homeschool Connections student.
