U.S. Catholic has an interesting interview with Julie Hanlon Rubio, Associate professor of Christian ethics at Saint Louis University and author of Family Ethics: Practices for Christians (Moral Traditions). She offers some interesting insights on how and why our families should look beyond themselves. She argues that in some cases, our families can become idols if we put them above everything else, including our service to God.
Rubio states: "We can think about our families as small Christian communities. We're not just about getting the best house, education, jobs, but moving out into the world to do something about Matthew 25, "Lord, when did we see you hungry?" How do we bring the works of mercy and justice to family life?"
