This is what the Lord asks of you, only this, that you act justly, that you love tenderly, that you walk humbly with your God. This verse from the prophet Micah hangs inside the front door of Bairbre Cahill’s family home in Donegal, Ireland. It was the first reading at her wedding in 1993 and for Bairbre these word still convey the challenge of Family life. Drawing from her own experience of life in a family of six, Bairbre’s thought-provoking book is written for parents who want to introduce a deeper spirituality into their family life. It recognises that family life sometimes feels anything but spiritual and looks at how, in fact, God is always present – not only in the joys, but also in the turmoil, squabbles, sadness and even the serious challenges.
