Oftentimes, parents can feel as if they are completely failing their kids. Patty Crawford, mother of three, says she can relate. Recalling how her own mother had encouraged Patty’s faith, she goes on to describe one moment during Mass when her daughter’s actions made her question how well she was passing on the faith to her kids.
She has come to believe, though, that because our kids are watching us, we can help them grow in their faith simply by being an example for them through our own actions.
