Edited to add another picture of the cake<\/em><\/div>\n

This weekend we had the great joy of baptising our son. A small group of family members gathered in the chapel of our Church after the Mass for Good Shepherd Sunday, and there our son was given his name and was baptised, anointed and clothed in Christ. Afterwards, we had a little luncheon and cake, which the kids kept calling \u201cLeo\u2019s wedding cake.\u201d When my children are baptised I am mindful of the fact that I am choosing the Church for them now, but later they will have to choose it for themselves. I pray that if marriage is Leo\u2019s vocation, many years from now, he will still be close to the Lord and that the cake we eat that day will be a celebration of a Sacrament. <\/p><\/div>\n
