Yesterday at the mass of Saints Cosmas and Damian I saw my seven-year-old niece who was constantly distracted by her shoes and didn't even want to cross herself. I kept thinking about how to make him learn to pray without it seeming like a heavy obligation. Does anyone have any ideas that have worked with young children?
Ayer en la misa de los santos Cosme y Damián vi a mi sobrina de siete años que se distraía todo el rato con los zapatos y no quería ni persignarse. Me quedé pensando cómo hacer para que aprenda a rezar sin que parezca una obligación pesada. ¿Alguien tiene alguna idea que le haya funcionado con niños pequeños?

This Sunday at the liturgy, the passage on the Beatitudes really touched me, especially “Blessed are the merciful”. I thought about my neighbor who came by last night with a plate of soup because I was still coughing, without asking. After communion, I prayed for her by lighting a candle near the icon of the Mother of God. It’s crazy how it fits right into everyday life.
Ce dimanche à la liturgie, le passage sur les Béatitudes m’a vraiment touchée, surtout « Heureux les miséricordieux ». J’ai repensé à ma voisine qui est passée hier soir avec un plat de soupe parce que je toussais encore, sans rien demander. Après la communion, j’ai prié pour elle en allumant un cierge près de l’icône de la Mère de Dieu. C’est fou comme ça tombe pile dans la vie de tous les jours.
