BAPTISMS Baptized in Christ: We welcome into the Family of St. Patrick s Parish and the Universal Church, Sloan Catherine Pollman, daughter of Tyler and Jessica Pollman, who was Baptized September 30. May her life as a Catholic be richly blessed by God. Grandparents know this. The question about divorce today leads to his normative answer by Jesus about union, about becoming one flesh. A further conversation is about receiving children and how they accept life, affection, love, and, thus, the Kingdom of God. Because they know dependence, they trust others. Grandparents relish this. They sing, as the appointed Psalm 128:1-6 does today, of being blessed, of trusting the Lord, of embracing children as blessing, of seeing their children s children. So does God! How can I strengthen marriage? How will I cherish and protect my children and grandchildren and all children? How will I accept God s action in my life as would a child?
