I would still be fallen away if my children had not been preparing to receive their sacraments at their Catholic school. Some cynics claim that 12 and 13 year olds only go through the motions of Confirmation because they are required to. I give them much more credit than that. They are called on to be very courageous as teens to say yes to the church's teachings and to say no to the myriad temptations of the world. My children, now 12 and 14, drive me nuts, but also inspire me every day. My twin 15-year old nephews will be received into the church this Easter Vigil. I have no doubt that the subtle witness of my children helped my nephews make their equally courageous decision. - Paul Musial Fri, 15 Mar 2013 05:03:07 +0100
