I try and teach my little sisters to pray, and it actually settles them down when I do night prayers with them. <br /><br />God bless,<br />ClaireClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762256260327025624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-24816786944178557742011-08-31T00:14:26.090-04:002011-08-31T00:14:26.090-04:00I'm just starting my second degree so that I c...I'm just starting my second degree so that I can knit together children's studies and theology; I am fascinated by children's spirituality. It's something we may never get a real glimpse into - we forget exactly how it feels by the time we ourselves are grown - but only see in flashes and wonder at. To be a child and growing physically, socially, intellectually, and so forth is amazing enough, and then to feel a relationship with God flourishing in this newly discovered self ... it must be just astounding! We are indeed so finely designed. (And you're a great mom for developing this deeper understanding, too. I love the dots around Mary!)Mrs. Molnarniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143000702247305571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-44111253848578514142011-08-30T22:39:24.912-04:002011-08-30T22:39:24.912-04:00Aww so cute.

My 3 yr old does this thing where she is out playing with her sister or cousin and stops and makes the sign of the cross and starts saying either grace before meals or the hail mary and then keeps playing. She also does that every time she jumps off her Granny's ottoman in her lounge which is the strangest thing ever. I have no idea where she got it from!!Jacintahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575013645355428125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-19418842431534841432011-08-30T09:39:11.485-04:002011-08-30T09:39:11.485-04:00What blessed parents you two are.

My husband isn't Catholic and gets very "odded out" when I try to pray, so I've taken to praying with Vincent during our quiet time before bed. I sometimes worry that he'll feel John's displeasure (or worse, see his eye rolls) and take to scoffing the Catholic faith, too. <br /><br />Stories like yours, however, give me hope that children can pick up on the beauty of our faith and can enjoy participating as much as we do. <br /><br />You guys are forever in my prayers... may you continue to find such beauty and love within the faith, and within each other. :) <3<br /><br />I swear... my heart melts into my shoes every time I read your blog. *Grin*Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969817415912619563noreply@blogger.com
