To Encourage a Vocation



Larry and I were talking about Necco wafers and  "playing mass" when we were kids.  I said that we sisters fought over who got to be "Father" (usually it was the kid who owned the Neccos, or else she'd take 'em away and eat 'em all herself).  



Larry said he and his brother would swipe their mom's bathrobe and play mass till the Neccos were gone or she caught em.  Like all Catholic moms then, it would be a tough decision:  "What if you stopped em cuz it was your bathrobe, but in doing so, you wrecked a vocation?"
(I have that line on a card here on the desk.  It makes me laugh every time)☺
