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).

Catherine Contest - Answer

They had tried to place her on room air a couple times but after a few hours she'd have problems. This time they did it and she had no problems and hasn't had it since. Congratulations to Barbara who wins a copy of Rosary Meditations for Real Life.

Nicole and I went to see Catherine early this morning. She was bright and awake which is always fun. I held her first for a while and then Nicole held her skin to skin until we left. We'll actually until Grandma and Grandpa Hahn arrived.

Last night she pulled out the tube that goes to suction out her stomach. They took some pictures of her before they put the tube back in. She is so cute without all of the tubing!! The drainage from this tube has become lighter and lighter so we are hoping that they will begin trying to feed her again soon. That is what we are praying for!

Today was #1 son's birthday and I'll post pictures when I get a chance. Right now I'm busy getting ready for VBS (vacation bible school).
