[Salvation]

But you will be invited to come forward for a blessing. Please, I am pleading for your wife and daughter, possibly because I have lived their walk.

I fully realize, that neither they nor I, can change your mind however. You are the one who can wield your presence at this Easter Mass as a blessing or a burden for them. Only you can make that decision. And the way you are sounding right now it would be a burden.

I tried to point out the positives. I don't understand why you can not see them. (Giving up a little personal pride to honor Christ and to honor your wife and daughter.)

Please understand. I do not intend to participate in teaching my daughter that a church hierarchy decides who participates in the sacraments by determining whose faithful interpretations of the Bible are satisfactory for them to be qualified as "real" Christians.
