Tonight our little Bright-eyes (turned 3 last week) surprised us all when she joined the family prayer for the first time. We, including the 3 older kids have been leading a decade each of the rosary until tonight when Bright-eyes asked if she, too, could lead a decade, saying: "Can I do it, too, Dad?" Tatay answered: "Do you know how to say it?" and she eagerly nodded. Then she proceeded to say the Pater Noster first, followed by 10 Ave Marias, amidst lots of cheering!And they brought to Him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them. Whom, when Jesus saw, He was much displeased, and saith to them: "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God." (Mark 10:13-14 - Douay-Rheims 1899)
