“A lot of times cradle Catholics are envious of us converts, but I would give anything to have had access to the Sacraments from the time I was born. Baptism, Eucharist—from the time I was a child—I would give anything for that. You’ve received a tremendous blessing as cradle Catholics.” (Tim Staples—Catholic Answers) As your pastor I will add: May we continue to teach each other about the beauty of this ancient Catholic Faith in Jesus Christ. As a convert, cradle Catholics have taught me much about the traditions, the many pious prayers, and of saints who have preceded us. Pax Christi!
