Sunday is a day devoted to God. Community of the Church recalls the first day of the existence of the world with thanksgiving and worship. This is the day of the Lord. According to God’s plan, it is also a day of rest. The Creator separated Sunday from the other days. Thus, it has become a determinant for the proper functioning of man in his earthly existence. But in order to be experience the Lord’s Day in this manner, it is necessary to be aware of the proper meaning of rest and man should live it in the act of praise and thanksgiving to the Creator himself. The Lord’s Day is the day when man should express his human relationship with God through prayer. Especially on this day we are to remember the great works of God and we should take a rest in God in an attitude of thanksgiving, praise, filial attachment and spousal friendship. In addition, Sunday is also Passover and Pentecost, when the faithful celebrate Christ’s victory over sin and death and the outpouring of the Spirit Paraclete with His gifts. Sunday is a special day and in its centre there should be the Eucharist which is of great importance for the functioning of the ecclesial community. A special place in the community of the Church is the home church, which is also called the Church in miniature. This community has to live Sunday in a manner characteristic of the Universal Church, meeting in prayer and the breaking of bread in the communion of the Church. Thus the family as a home church should live with the Eucharist, which is the sacrament of the love of the Bridegroom and the Bride. It strengthens the unity and sacramental love of spouses. Celebration of the Lord’s Day on the basis of the celebration of the Eucharist helps to strengthen individuals and individual marital-family community.

The chapter aims at discovering and discussing the process of paideia in a Christian family, concentrating on the process of upbringing children and teenagers as suggested by the prominent archbishop of Constantinople John Chrysostom († 407). He himself did not create a consistent model of the upbringing system but devoted a great deal of interest to the area, applying the achievements of antique culture at the same time. Chrysostom understood paideia in a Christian family as one of the stages in the process of discovering the depth and beauty of faith and as a part of the process of making a human resemble the image of God as revealed in Jesus Christ. And it is the father of the family who is first of all responsible for that process, mainly concerning the intellectual, moral and religious spheres of the children. A family unit in this context is understood as a ‘home church’, where, thanks to the bonds of love, common responsibility and the way of life based on Gospel and fear of God, sanctification if its members takes place.

Nowadays in light of various threats, family evangelization becomes a pastoral priority. The Church concern for a family is expressed through pre-evangelization, evangelization and catechetic teaching. Family ministry is a tool to carry out this task. However, a family is also a subject of evangelization through performing prophetic, priestly and kingly functions. A family as a home church is the community where one learns how to live in diversity, to belong to others, where parents convey their faith (see EG 66). It is the source of various vocations.
