Defender of the Faith??

While in line at the grocery store, the pre-schooler in front of us asked my pre-schooler "Why is your forehead dirty?" "It's not dirt, it's my ashes" answered my son. "Why do you have ashes, does your dad smoke?" "No! It's because I'm a catholic and it's cool!" The little girl turns to her mother and asks, can we be catholics too!

Out of the mouth of babes . . . What a 'cool' way for a 'Catholic' to begin Lent. You trained your pre-schooler well. We should all go into Lent with that kind of simplicity and Faith.
