Bringing Henry Home: Bringing Baby to the Lord

Bringing Baby to the Lord

I stopped by the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel at our parish for a few minutes on the way back home from a school meeting and errands...

OK, and a cup of (decaf) coffee at Starbucks, you got me!!

As I was sitting in prayer I remembered bringing Tessa along as a baby to the same Chapel...

one time she was so sleepy I laid her down on a blanket on the floor and she napped for almost an hour in front of the Monstrance!

I thought, "Why not do it again? Jesus said to bring him the little children."

So I took out my picture of Henry and laid it on the floor in front of me before Our Lord in the Eucharist while I prayed....

someday I will to bring him here in person....
