That's best. But the Church, as our Mother, knows that sometimes her children sometimes need to be dragged kicking and screaming, for their own good, of course. 8-)
I'm not Catholic so I don't consider my church as 'my mother,' but I have gone kicking and screaming more than once! My mother MADE us go to church and SS, even though she rarely went herself. I sang in choirs and joined youth groups, etc. and built a base of faith that stays with me today. In fact, if I don't go to church some Sunday, I really MISS it. Have a great Thanksgiving, Aquinasfan.
