A Temple of the Holy Spirit

Daniel & Catherine ready for Confirmation I had the privilege of witnessing my son and daughter receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this past Tuesday at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Lancaster, OH. It was a wonderful Mass with a full choir, trumpets, and all the rest. During his remarks, Bishop Earl K. Fernandes mentioned that we too, like the Basilica, are temples of the Lord. It caused me to reflect on this idea. Although I've mostly seen only pictures of the great cathedrals and basilicas in the world, I have seen some amazing churches even in our own diocese. These structures are a testament to the Church's love for God (read the entire Church - Militant, Suffering, Triumphant). They represent great skill, sacrifice, and passion for Our Lord and often times His Mother.  Yet the words of Christ always echo in my mind when contemplating the beauty that surrounds me in those places; “ Do you see these great buildings?

Baby Catherine

Catherine is doing well even if her parents aren't!!! She has been moved to a lower-level NICU. She is now fully on breastmilk although it is being pumped into her stomach through that nasty tube in her nose. She no longer has any IV's. She is hooked up to monitoring equipment and the feeding tube but that is it. She is having plenty of dirty diapers.

Her main problem now is that she is a very picky eater. She still doesn't like having stuff in her mouth. She spits up a lot but the doctors are saying this is probably still just her body catching up to where she should be. Please keep up the prayers that she starts taking more food by mouth than through the tube. Thanks in advance!

I am not much for having my picture taken anymore but here is one of Catherine and me from last Wednesday.
