Yay! A reader writes:<\/p>\n
About 8 months ago I asked people to pray for the safe pregnancy of my son\u2019s partner as we awaited the birth of their first child and our first grandchild. Cole joined us last week and he is healthy. Our son and his partner are meeting with a priest to regularize their relationship (unfortunately it took a while to find a priest who would meet with them), and they have asked our oldest daughter and her older brother to be godparents (both are practicing Catholics). Thanks for the prayers and thank GOd for helping our son and his partner find their way back to the church. An Easter story I guess, at the risk of annoying people who might not see it this way, or maybe it is why my wife and I are still Catholic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ! Thanks for your diligence in prayer youse guys!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
