Wow! Easter was awesome at RCC this year. We started with our First Wednesday celebration of the Passover as we experienced the traditional Jewish Seder. The Seder, a reminder to the Jewish community of their deliverence from slavery, is especially celebrated for the children. How interesting to experience the response to God's command, "On that day tell your son, 'I do this because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt"(Ex. 13:8).
The question I have come to ask in reflection is, "How are we as parents sharing with our children all that the Lord has done for us?" I want my child to know the Lord and all his goodness. I desire to reflect that goodness to everyone I cross paths with, but most importantly my children. We, as individuals and the Church as a whole, (whether we have children of our own or not) have been entrusted with the spiritual growth of our children. How seriously do we take that responsibility? What are we doing to teach them the love of Christ and how to share it with others? I look at myself, realizing that it starts with me at a personal level, and say, " I could do so much more." I think I'll start today! Will you join me?
