Parenthood is definitely a humbling experience and I cannot thank God enough every time I speak to our grown children. In these crazy times, I attribute their continued faith to Our Dear Blessed Mother as we used to pray the rosary daily as a family (which as small kids they were not super happy about) and which I still pray today. My husband and I are the humbled parents of four college graduates (one with a Masters in Sacred Theology, another to finish his masters in Theology in May- but refusing to get his PhD because he does not like Greek, unlike his sister (and your son) who loves it!!) and all still practicing their faith and even helping one another stay close to God (they talk and ask questions of each other when strange things come from the Vatican or Bishoprics) and truly not because of us, but because Our Lord and his Mother are far more faithful than we can ever imagine. What the future holds, no one knows, but I continue to remind them the true battle has been won, our souls saved, and the pressure the outside world continues to hurl at us will make us stronger if we so choose, as Our Lord has given us the choice. I pray they as well as yours and so many others choose their faith over any world goods.
I tell you what, Kate, we are blessed by God. Parenting IS difficult even in the most ideal of situations. This world has made even the “ideal” situation one that is rife with struggle regarding the holy charge of parenting.
When I see our children, moving forward under Christ’s mantle (making mistakes, yes), it IS humbling because I know that for them to prevail, as they have, is a great feet.
Congratulations to you AND your children for this great victory!
Amen!! And you and your family are in my prayers for continued strength and perseverance as we trust Our Lord and his dear mother to grant us the graces we need to find their peace in this world as we journey together to our final home!!
