The Church in the early centuries preached belief in the Lord Jesus. They were persecuted for 300 years before Christianity won over the population. And yet, each generation must be taught the Catholic faith. Our children are like unknowing pagans, and must be taught the faith, and converted to it. The survival of the family depends on the faith.
This homily is brought to you by the Georgetown Visitation Sisters in Washington, D.C. Saint Francis de Sales’ “little virtues” of gentleness, kindness, humility, and cheerful optimism shape monastic life for these sisters.
