As they grow up, I can’t make them believe, but I can make sure they understand what I believe is true, and why.

Very wise! Especially when they're in their teens and will tend to be rebellious. I got like that, and for once in my life, my parents didn't interfere. It hurt them, but they had the wisdom to continue to practice their Faith and allow me to explore other options. When I realized that what I'd been taught was the Truth, I returned and never looked back!

God bless you and your family!

Thanks. I was a teenager once, too (and a real pain), so I’m reasonably calm about the stages.

I remember my Grandparents walking to Mass every day and I would see them everyday as I completed delivering newspapers.

Somehow that stuck with me and inspires me today.
