Sister Mary Francis of Holy Family Catholic Church, Columbus OH. Sister has been hospitalized with bacterial meningitis. Please pray for her recovery! Hail Mary, full of grace...
Such peace and joy floods the soul as we await the birth of our God and Savior.
This year, my youngest son laid the baby Jesus in His crib. How reverently he carried Him. How sweetly he lay the Baby God in His bed of straw.
Maximilian was given another sweet gift as well, on that Holy Eve. He served as a torch bearer for the very first time. I'm awed that our good God has called four young men to His service...that they love it so very much. Like good knights, they serve their Lord so very willingly and with great love and devotion.

What a lovely montage...
Sweet song, but the title of this post actually refers to my youngest son, Gareth, who served the Traditional Latin Mass for the first time yesterday. Wearing a cassock two sizes too big, cinched at the waist and cleverly covered by his surplice, Gareth took his seat "in choir" with the torch-bearers. The pride of seeing this beautiful young boy in cassock and surplice, is indescribable. Pure joy radiated from his face...to his mother: he seemed such a very small boy; a small boy embarking upon a great adventure with a host of young men so much larger and certainly more experienced, than he. "Love covers a multitude of sins" as our dear Lord tells us...Gareth will certainly make up for any deficiencies, by the great love he has for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. A love fervently shared by his three older brothers. Four sons in the service of our Lord. May God be praised! Read more!
