Five characteristics distinguish Catholic families committed to a Catholic vision of family life

Omnes identifies five key differences for Catholic families, beginning with communal worship. Catholic families are called to attend Mass together on holy days and other times as possible to participate in the sacramental life of the Church. The report also recommends regular confession, suggesting a monthly frequency, to seek divine grace for loving one another.

In addition to individual prayer and parish liturgy, Catholic families are called to gather for daily family prayer. During these times, families praise God for blessings, ask for forgiveness for failures in love, request grace to love others better, and pray for their own needs and the needs of the People of God.
