So what’s the answer to that problem? St. Neumann says ‘We must turn from the world and love of the world to make ourselves new hearts. If our hearts are by nature set on the world for its own sake, and the world is one day to pass away, what are they to be set on, what to delight in then?’ If we would be happy in the world to come, we must make us new hearts and begin to love the things that we naturally do not love.” - Laura Berquist (6:14) ________________________________MODG exists to help Catholic families raise their children in a living Catholic culture in their homes, mentoring them in using the MODG Catholic classical curriculum to lead their children to good judgment concerning the good, true and beautiful.Visit our Virtual Open House and learn how we can help you build a Catholic culture in your home, too!https://modg.org/virtualopenhouse
