Jenny, thank you for a wonderful explanation of the sacraments. They are so much more than rituals and writes and you made that clear. I always thought that the Eastern rite practice of baptism, communion, and confirmation all at once for babies made perfect sense but couldn’t articulate why. Now I can!
And that your children are being told that Catholic is not Christian — it’s all we can do not to growl when faced with that, isn’t it? And yet, the other Christian churches exist because Catholicism has lasted so long! It’s really a case of the speaker not knowing the history of his/her denomination or the history of Christianity in general, and a call for some gentle and patient education. Sigh.

I’m praying for you too…and for all those raising children in this complex world of ours. I’m praying for all of our world’s children too…

Just as nursing has the power to sooth and redirect a “terrible two” year old, family prayer has the power to calm and reorder a family. Anyway, that is the analogy I tried to use to convince my husband of the need for it.

Keep up the good work.

And I just love your farm chatter. I want to live there too. In that other house.
