Our faith has so much more depth than that. There is so much more that we can do with our faith. I want our lives to look Catholic. I want our homes to look Catholic. I want our faith to be more than just Sunday. I want to live my faith, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you feel the same way, then this book can help you to do it.   ![Living Beyond Sunday](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Living%20Beyond%20Sunday.jpg?width=1337&height=1950&name=Living%20Beyond%20Sunday.jpg)   [*Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place*](https://ascensionpress.com/products/living-beyond-sunday-making-your-home-a-holy-place) talks about the ways that we can make time and space sacred. It talks about the holy calling of mothers and fathers. It talks about the value of liturgical living, and gives you practical ways to do it. I don’t want my kids thinking what we’re Catholic just because we go to church on Sundays. Being Catholic does involve going to Mass on Sundays, but it can and should be so much more than that. Our homes should look Catholic. Our days should be peppered with moments of prayer. Our lives should revolve around the faith and move with the liturgical calendar. The Church has given us such a beautiful gift in her seasons and cycles. We just have to use it! *[Living Beyond Sunday](https://ascensionpress.com/products/living-beyond-sunday-making-your-home-a-holy-place) *is the perfect combination of theology and practical suggestions. It explains why we should live liturgically and how we might go about doing it. If you are looking for an easy way to imbue the faith in your children, this is the book for you. If you want to teach the faith to your children by the way you live your life, this is the book for you. If you want to know why it’s important to live beyond Sundays, [*Living Beyond Sunday*](https://ascensionpress.com/products/living-beyond-sunday-making-your-home-a-holy-place) is the book for you.
