DAILY DEVOTIONS, LIFELONG FAITH

A Domestic Monastery with Michele Chronister

25 Aug 2015

The rhythms of married life with children can have a bit of a monastic rhythm to it—work, leisure, play, sleep, prayer, and eating. Michael sits down with Michele Chronister to talk about these rhythms and what the saints and other voices from the Church can teach us about it. We also discuss the work Michele has done with developmentally disabled adults and what insights she’s learned about our life and sanctity from such important work.

Michele Chronister is a wife, and mother to three little girls and one little one in heaven. She received her BA and MA in theology from the University of Notre Dame (’09 and ’11). She is the author of a number of books, including Handbook for Adaptive Catechesis, the co-author of Faith Beginnings—Family Nurturing from Birth Through Preschool, editor of the book Rosaries Aren't Just for Teething, as well as an assortment of Catholic children's books. In addition to writing, she also homeschools her daughters, and is the social media manager for the Office of Natural Family Planning in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. When her oldest was a baby, she realized that their family life had taken on a sort of monastic rhythm—eat, pray, play, sleep. Prompted by this, she started the blog My Domestic Monastery (www.mydomesticmonastery.com), where she shares inspiration for families wanting to grow in holiness.
