We spent the morning and early afternoon driving to a home schooling curriculum fair. I have to say that I was dreading it and I thought that it would be a huge headache for me...I was wrong! I have the books ordered and I will begin tomorrow to organize the supplies that we have and begin planning. I am looking forward to it.
I need to make an appointment with Fr. Jim and talk with him about our 7 year old. She will be making her first Confession this year and receiving her First Holy Communion. I would prefer to teach her on my own without her attending Religious Ed. I am not sure if that will be accepted. The older children all were attending Catholic School when they received these Sacraments and this time we were hoping to bypass all of the 'hoopla' and 'parading' with 30 other children when she receives. As my husband and I age, we see things differently than we did 10 to 15 years ago. I know, I know...that's life. Beautiful, isn't it?
I'm learning about Novenas. I bought a little blue book at our Catholic Book store and it has a number of beautiful Novenas in it. I learn more and more about the Faith every day. I have also discovered a beautiful prayer asking for the intercession of St. Gertrude for the souls in purgatory. I will see if I can paste a copy in the next post.
Jesus, I trust in You!
