Baby Steps

The most important gift you can give your child is to help them begin a walk of faith with the God of the universe. From the moment your children arrive in your home, you are teaching them how to see the world, what to consider important, what to seek, what to love. As a mother, you have the opportunity to form your home and family life in such a way that God’s reality comes alive to your children each day.

We are teaching our son to make the sign of the cross and say “Amen.” It’s a small start, but this is how we begin and finish our prayers. We want prayer to come naturally to our children. The only way to accomplish this is through repetition and observation. Our hope is that this will create a firm spiritual foundation for them so that they will always remain close to God.
