I had the opportunity to spend some time in our church, Mother of God,  one evening this week, with very few people there.  We were attending practice for Max’s first Reconciliation this weekend.  It was so strange being in the nearly empty church, and I spent the time marveling at the beauty of our parish.  I also enjoyed watching the five little boys explore a bit and soak it all in.  At one point they all stood before the nativity and just stared in wonder.  It was precious.  Michael and I have attended Mother of God since we were children.  We were married there, our children were baptized there, and it’s the place I feel closest to God.
