In this episode, we discuss the short but powerful life of Saint Carlo Acutis. We also discuss how each of us uses technology in our homes and the rules we live by as far as the internet is concerned.

We mentioned software like Qustudio or other custodian software that monitors and controls our kids' devices.

Deacon Joe (our daddy) said some pretty wise things, identifying the three foundational principles of a marriage, first found in family life: Love, Trust and Sacrifice.

• Invite the Holy Spirit to guide your discernment
• Surrender your engagement to God.
