For the curious, here is a picture of Fr. Cantalamessa taken in December.

Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa gives a meditation in the presence of Benedict XVI, Cardinals, Bishops and Prelates, Redemptoris Mater Chapel at the Vatican, Dec.23, 2005.

Personally, I am grateful to my parents for having had me baptized in the first days of my life. It is not the same to live one's childhood and youth with or without sanctifying grace!

Yes, as parents it is important to have your child receive this Sacrament as early as possible. It saddens me when parents wait until the child is 6 or 9 months old. Usually their reasons for waiting are without basis or merit, outling their true ignorance of this important Sacrament.
