God bless Red,
I was apostate in my early 20’s and made the journey back.
God put lots of the strangest of instruments in my way to bring this about. Sometimes I didn’t recognize God’s hand in the process until sometime later.
By the time my son was born I had come full circle. Your grandson will certainly bring your own closer to faith.
Hopefully, your daughter-in-law may be helpful throughout the process? Your son’s entire family will be the beneficiaries of his return to the Church.
The coolest thing, which I had not anticipated about becoming a father was the new insights into scripture; the reading of a son’s duty to a father in Sirach, the Prodigal Son and other scripture where the model is flipped and “you” are now the dad.
God bless the lot of you. Hope the weather holds out for a spring day.
Thank you, my FRiend for your prayers and your story. BTW, the birth of this son of mine also brought me back on track in my twenties.
We had a lovely Baptism and the weather was just perfect.
