Having found RCI is a tremendous blessing. I keep you all in my daily Rosary that i say specifically for the clergy and those living a consecrated life.
Our parents were married for 67 years. They died ten days apart at ages 98 and 96. Growing up through the 1960’s and 1970’s, home and immediate family were the ONLY moral and constants in my life. We weren’t highly religious but moral standards and living them were nonnegotiable. Prayer before and after meals, evening prayer and spiritual reading, and Mass attendance every Sunday and Holy Day of obligation were required. The only reasons to miss were sickness, necessary travel (Dad was in the Navy so sometimes we’d have no choice. Most of his deployments we lived on or near the base with civilian housing.). If Mass was missed we attended a weekday Mass to make up for it. There was no lying, cheating, stealing, disrespect, immodesty, impurity, disobedience tolerated. Unlike others as time went on, violations were punished with meaningful consequences. Were they perfect? No, but a far sight better than anyone else I knew.
Amen
