Absolutely! Trying to pass on the faith to the next generation. I wouldn’t go so far as sprinkling people with Holy Water all the time, because I don’t want it to become a superstitious behaviour. However, we made two Advent wreaths this year, are singing traditional Polish Christmas carols (all about God’s birth, which is what the Polish words for Christmas are).

Keep in mind that in Jesus’ geneaology there was a breakdown of passing on the faith too. It actually says that Solomon’s mother had been the wife of Uriah. Solomon had many wives who were pagan and led him astray (I learned all of this through A Catholic Moment! Thank you, Mary, and all the other writers who give us theological and background information).

Mary, thank you for the reminder that we need to live our Catholic life and make the traditions part of daily life. I fear we fall very short on this front. I was raised with a non-practicing Catholic mother and agnostic father. My husband went to a Catholic high school so we have tried throughout our marriage to attend mass regularly. Our sons were baptized Catholic but that was as far as their religious education went, as was mine until I attended RCIA as an adult and made my confirmation in 1999. My husband attended a retreat at our church that same year and was touched by the Holy Spirit. Although these events have changed our lives and our focus, there is still a lack of traditions in our daily lives. My husband was raised by a divorced mother that was not Catholic so there were no Catholic traditions in his family either. I pray that we may begin to incorporate traditions into our daily lives and become true role models for our children and grandchildren. I look forward to reading the blog you recommended.
