The Catholic Family
David and Allyson
Join David and Allyson as they talk about raising a Catholic family in a secular world. The kids frequently join in on the fun and provide lots of material to talk about. The Catholic Family takes on the tough issues of parenting, homeschooling, living green, and balancing work with home life, while keeping an active and devout church life. This is not a drill, this is the Catholic Family!
Proverbs Chapter 31
[1] The words of Lemuel, king of Massa, which his mother taught him:[2] What, my son? What, son of my womb?What, son of my vows?[3] Give not your strength to women,your ways to those who destroy kings.[4] It is not for kings, O Lemuel,it is not for kings to drink wine,or for rulers to desire strong drink;[5] lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.[6] Give strong drink to him who is perishing,and wine to those in bitter distress;[7] let them

Proverbs Chapter 30
[1] The words of Agur son of Jakeh of Massa. The man says to Ith’i-el,to Ith’i-el and Ucal:[2] Surely I am too stupid to be a man.I have not the understanding of a man.[3] I have not learned wisdom,nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.[4] Who has ascended to heaven and come down?Who has gathered the wind in his fists?Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?Who has established all the ends of the earth?What is his name, and what is his son’s name?Surely you know![5] Every word of God proves t

Proverbs Chapter 29
[1] He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neckwill suddenly be broken beyond healing.[2] When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;but when the wicked rule, the people groan.[3] He who loves wisdom makes his father glad,but one who keeps company with harlots squanders his substance.[4] By justice a king gives stability to the land,but one who exacts gifts ruins it.[5] A man who flatters his neighborspreads a net for his feet.[6] An evil man is ensnared in his transgression,bu

Proverbs Chapter 28
[1] The wicked flee when no one pursues,but the righteous are bold as a lion.[2] When a land transgressesit has many rulers;but with men of understanding and knowledgeits stability will long continue.[3] A poor man who oppresses the pooris a beating rain that leaves no food.[4] Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,but those who keep the law strive against them.[5] Evil men do not understand justice,but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.[6] Better is a poor man who walks in

Proverbs Chapter 27
[1] Do not boast about tomorrow,for you do not know what a day may bring forth.[2] Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;a stranger, and not your own lips.[3] A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.[4] Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming;but who can stand before jealousy?[5] Better is open rebukethan hidden love.[6] Faithful are the wounds of a friend;profuse are the kisses of an enemy.[7] He who is sated loathes honey,but to one who is hu

Proverbs Chapter 26
[1] Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,so honor is not fitting for a fool.[2] Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,a curse that is causeless does not alight.[3] A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass,and a rod for the back of fools.[4] Answer not a fool according to his folly,lest you be like him yourself.[5] Answer a fool according to his folly,lest he be wise in his own eyes.[6] He who sends a message by the hand of a foolcuts off his own feet and drinks violen

Proverbs Chapter 25
[1] These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezeki’ah king of Judah copied.[2] It is the glory of God to conceal things,but the glory of kings is to search things out.[3] As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth,so the mind of kings is unsearchable.[4] Take away the dross from the silver,and the smith has material for a vessel;[5] take away the wicked from the presence of the king,and his throne will be established in righteousness.[6] Do not put yourself forward in the ki

Proverbs Chapter 24
[1] Be not envious of evil men,nor desire to be with them;[2] for their minds devise violence,and their lips talk of mischief.[3] By wisdom a house is built,and by understanding it is established;[4] by knowledge the rooms are filledwith all precious and pleasant riches.[5] A wise man is mightier than a strong man,and a man of knowledge than he who has strength;[6] for by wise guidance you can wage your war,and in abundance of counselors there is victory.[7] Wisdom is too high for a fool;in the

Proverbs Chapter 23
[1] When you sit down to eat with a ruler,observe carefully what is before you;[2] and put a knife to your throatif you are a man given to appetite.[3] Do not desire his delicacies,for they are deceptive food.[4] Do not toil to acquire wealth;be wise enough to desist.[5] When your eyes light upon it, it is gone;for suddenly it takes to itself wings,flying like an eagle toward heaven.[6] Do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy;do not desire his delicacies;[7] for he is like one who is inward

Proverbs Chapter 22
[1] A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,and favor is better than silver or gold.[2] The rich and the poor meet together;the LORD is the maker of them all.[3] A prudent man sees danger and hides himself;but the simple go on, and suffer for it.[4] The reward for humility and fear of the LORDis riches and honor and life.[5] Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;he who guards himself will keep far from them.[6] Train up a child in the way he should go,and when he is old

Proverbs Chapter 21
[1] The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD;he turns it wherever he will.[2] Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,but the LORD weighs the heart.[3] To do righteousness and justiceis more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.[4] Haughty eyes and a proud heart,the lamp of the wicked, are sin.[5] The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance,but every one who is hasty comes only to want.[6] The getting of treasures by a lying tongueis a fleeting vapor and a snare

Proverbs Chapter 20
[1] Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler;and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.[2] The dread wrath of a king is like the growling of a lion;he who provokes him to anger forfeits his life.[3] It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife;but every fool will be quarreling.[4] The sluggard does not plow in the autumn;he will seek at harvest and have nothing.[5] The purpose in a man’s mind is like deep water,but a man of understanding will draw it out.[6] Many a man proclaims his own

Proverbs Chapter 19
[1] Better is a poor man who walks in his integritythan a man who is perverse in speech, and is a fool.[2] It is not good for a man to be without knowledge,and he who makes haste with his feet misses his way.[3] When a man’s folly brings his way to ruin,his heart rages against the LORD.[4] Wealth brings many new friends,but a poor man is deserted by his friend.[5] A false witness will not go unpunished,and he who utters lies will not escape.[6] Many seek the favor of a generous man,and every on

Proverbs Chapter 18
[1] He who is estranged seeks pretextsto break out against all sound judgment.[2] A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,but only in expressing his opinion.[3] When wickedness comes, contempt comes also;and with dishonor comes disgrace.[4] The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;the fountain of wisdom is a gushing stream.[5] It is not good to be partial to a wicked man,or to deprive a righteous man of justice.[6] A fool’s lips bring strife,and his mouth invites a flogging.[7] A fool’s mou

Proverbs Chapter 17
[1] Better is a dry morsel with quietthan a house full of feasting with strife.[2] A slave who deals wisely will rule over a son who acts shamefully,and will share the inheritance as one of the brothers.[3] The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,and the LORD tries hearts.[4] An evildoer listens to wicked lips;and a liar gives heed to a mischievous tongue.[5] He who mocks the poor insults his Maker;he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.[6] Grandchildren are the crown

Proverbs Chapter 16
[1] The plans of the mind belong to man,but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.[2] All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,but the LORD weighs the spirit.[3] Commit your work to the LORD,and your plans will be established.[4] The LORD has made everything for its purpose,even the wicked for the day of trouble.[5] Every one who is arrogant is an abomination to the LORD;be assured, he will not go unpunished.[6] By loyalty and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,and by the fear of the

Proverbs Chapter 15
[1] A soft answer turns away wrath,but a harsh word stirs up anger.[2] The tongue of the wise dispenses knowledge,but the mouths of fools pour out folly.[3] The eyes of the LORD are in every place,keeping watch on the evil and the good.[4] A gentle tongue is a tree of life,but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.[5] A fool despises his father’s instruction,but he who heeds admonition is prudent.[6] In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,but trouble befalls the income of the wicke

Proverbs Chapter 14
[1] Wisdom builds her house,but folly with her own hands tears it down.[2] He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD,but he who is devious in his ways despises him.[3] The talk of a fool is a rod for his back,but the lips of the wise will preserve them.[4] Where there are no oxen, there is no grain;but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.[5] A faithful witness does not lie,but a false witness breathes out lies.[6] A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain,but knowledge is easy for a man of unde

Proverbs Chapter 13
[1] A wise son hears his father’s instruction,but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.[2] From the fruit of his mouth a good man eats good,but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.[3] He who guards his mouth preserves his life;he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.[4] The soul of the sluggard craves, and gets nothing,while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.[5] A righteous man hates falsehood,but a wicked man acts shamefully and disgracefully.[6] Righteousness guards him wh

Proverbs Chapter 9
[1] Wisdom has built her house,she has set up her seven pillars.[2] She has slaughtered her beasts, she has mixed her wine,she has also set her table.[3] She has sent out her maids to callfrom the highest places in the town,[4] “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”To him who is without sense she says,[5] “Come, eat of my breadand drink of the wine I have mixed.[6] Leave simpleness, and live,and walk in the way of insight.”[7] He who corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,and he who reproves

Proverbs Chapter 8
[1] Does not wisdom call,does not understanding raise her voice?[2] On the heights beside the way,in the paths she takes her stand;[3] beside the gates in front of the town,at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:[4] “To you, O men, I call,and my cry is to the sons of men.[5] O simple ones, learn prudence;O foolish men, pay attention.[6] Hear, for I will speak noble things,and from my lips will come what is right;[7] for my mouth will utter truth;wickedness is an abomination to my lips.[

Proverbs Chapter 4
[1] Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction,and be attentive, that you may gain insight;[2] for I give you good precepts:do not forsake my teaching.[3] When I was a son with my father,tender, the only one in the sight of my mother,[4] he taught me, and said to me,“Let your heart hold fast my words;keep my commandments, and live;[5] do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.Get wisdom; get insight.[6] Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;love her, and she will guard you.[7

Proverbs Chapter 6
[1] My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor,have given your pledge for a stranger;[2] if you are snared in the utterance of your lips,caught in the words of your mouth;[3] then do this, my son, and save yourself,for you have come into your neighbor’s power:go, hasten, and importune your neighbor.[4] Give your eyes no sleepand your eyelids no slumber;[5] save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter,like a bird from the hand of the fowler.[6] Go to the ant, O sluggard;consider her way

[1] My son, be attentive to my wisdom,incline your ear to my understanding;[2] that you may keep discretion,and your lips may guard knowledge.[3] For the lips of a loose woman drip honey,and her speech is smoother than oil;[4] but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,sharp as a two-edged sword.[5] Her feet go down to death;her steps follow the path to Sheol;[6] she does not take heed to the path of life;her ways wander, and she does not know it.[7] And now, O sons, listen to me,and do not depar
