Is this you in church? Yeah... us either.
It's more like this...
I see you moms and dads and awesome grandparents who take your children to mass...
Wrestling while standing in the back of mass with your baby who insists on "blessing" himself over and over again...
Swaying continuously while hoping your baby forgets what they were so upset about...
Letting go of all your parenting convictions as you let your child "get down" and practice walking in the vestibule of church...
Entire family who has to sit in the cry room because one of your children just cannot sit in church...
WE ARE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!!
I felt so much solidarity with all of you this last Sunday.... THE FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI for goodness sake. I had to ask our priest if I could snag his notes from the pulpit because I didn't hear ONE BLASTED WORD from his homily (thanks, Fr Ian).
WE CAN DO THIS, Y'ALL!!
Let's not give up! Let's continue to go to Mass as a family. Let's continue to let the grace of God and the goodness and faithfulness of God and the desire to pass this reality onto our children continue to get our tired, worn-out selves to Mass!!
You are not a hindrance or a burden- YOU KEEP THE CHURCH ALIVE!!
You are not alone!!
See you on Sunday!!
