It is uncontainable!!! It is days like today that make me realize how FULL our Faith is! There are so many special saints this week to talk about. This is Pro-Life Month....a month of Life! There's angels to recognize. There is the intricate details of the liturgy to discuss-readings to meditate on and bring to life with our kids.
I'm preparing to teach my little CCE class. The magnamity of that is sometimes overwhelming which is one awesome reason why the liturgical year cycles 3 times. What we don't get to this year we'll come back to before you know it.
Today I will be reading Angel in the Waters with the Catholic Mosaic Program. We'll talk about angels, focusing on Guardian Angels which God tells us through Holy Scripture that we all have. We'll talk about St. Michael the Archangel and start to learn his prayer. We'll also each Spiritually Adopt an Unborn Baby to pray for during the next 9 months.
We'll also discuss proper behavior and dress for Mass since that was a subject that my friend wanted me to discuss with the girls-one of which is my own Goddaughter.......Cameron will just benefit all the more from the extra discussion.
On top of all that today is the Feast day of St. Therese of Lisieux -the Little Flower and later in the week is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi-----wow! I'm not even going to be able to touch on those great saints-we could do entire lessons on each one!!!
And this is why learning about our faith should be done EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE WEEK not just on Sunday morning for an hour or two (at least that is the opinion of this mom in this house!)!!!!!!!
