Your son is so right! There are many great saints alive today, and it would not surprise me in the least if some of those great saints come out of your own family, Salvation. You are such a blessing as is Lady in Blue.

[Salvation]

It is amazing what you say because I have one divorced daughter, one daughter with two unbaptized sons 3 and 1, another daughter who is trying to get pregnant and is not attending church regularly, a son and his wife who are attending a Presbyterian Church in Portland, OR and a son who did the whole circle -- no God, then People's Church, Assembly of God, and now has come back to the Anglican Catholic Church.

I continue to pray weekly for all of them to return to and actively participate in the church of their Baptism, the Roman Catholic Church. And now I am crying.

Please pray for all the children who are momentarily lost in their faith journey.

Another note, here, after my husband's death from lung cancer, I (and my kids) went through the deaths of my mother-in-law,
father-in-law (suicide)
brother-a priest who died from AIDS (You can draw your own conclusions there without any explicit language on my part.), and
my mother.

I believe that these traumatic 10 years did wreak a certain amount of havoc on the spiritual life of me as well as my children. But I have always believed that the foundation is in place, and that they will return to the Church.
God bless -- and the tears are gone now. Thanks for listening.
