"Sacrifice" is something we do for another person or for God, for atonement, for mortification, for spiritual development. "Inconvenience" is an obstacle to the satisfaction or our own will. If we approach children as a sacrifice rather than an inconvenience (while still recognizing the immense joy that children bring which nearly always substantially outweighs the sacrifice), we will see children in a much more positive light both for themselves and for our relationship to them.Pete Caccavarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454406800958606929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199569135564129670.post-33738084076991132862009-09-06T21:59:07.291-04:002009-09-06T21:59:07.291-04:00Excellent Pete!

(sigh) I pray for them ... and for our wonderful fathers, both those who are married and those who are priests.the bookladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263580845211880738noreply@blogger.com
