Haven't we just lost ...As always, interesting! Haven't we just lost so much in Catholic culture. It's heartbreaking to consider, and all mainly because the men who run our church don't actually like Catholicism. It's also our fault, because our ancestors fell out of love with the faith somewhere along the way. How few in America actually have retained the Catholic culture in their families? I know we have not in my family. Irish Catholic on one side, my grandfather born there, not a bit of Irish anything floated down to us. But these beautiful traditions, if I had a young family now, I would incorporate them. It would feel weird at first, but children love tradition. Oh for a while they may roll their eyes, but they'll bring their friends home and be proud of those traditions later! It gives them a sense of belonging, history, and something they can count on. I figured this out too late.<br />Have a blessed Lent. :) Kathleen1031https://www.blogger.com/profile/10201084623185206141noreply@blogger.com
