My oldest had her first Communion two weeks ago. It was a wonderful moment for the entire family.

Congratulations! God's blessings on all of you. First Communion is such a special and beautiful day. Are you in the TX diocese that has dropped Confirmation down to 3rd grade?

My youngest had hers last week. Our pastor gave a beautiful homily about abiding in Christ. He talked about the True Vine, about miracles and how God out of His infinite Love feeds us with His Body and Blood, about their obligation to meet Jesus and feed on Jesus each Sunday. If they don't come, how else will they grow strong? He told them to bug their parents to take them to Mass. If they didn't, please call him and he'd talk to them or arrange for a ride to church. Then he looked at us parents sternly and said, "Are you listening?"
