I believe that Martha, your story, reinforces that it is responsibility and duty of every parent to be actively involved in our childrens lives. For a 9 year old girl to be sent out a religious education class, and not even know that she didn't make it - for the months of time required to prepare for first communion - is terrible. It is obvious that your parents did not allow God into your home. And then, to put that same 9 year old into a situation in which she makes an adult decision to leave any church and wonder aimlessly until adult. Why Martha - it just proves that when parents abandon their responsibilities - anything can happen Thank you for sharing your story with us. Brian |

I say, "Thank the Lord that they did not know where the Lord allowed Martha to go"... or they might have stopped her from learning from God's Word!!! And from experience... the confusion within the Church does cause confusion for young people. People act out what they believe, and in Martha's case it seems the many priests had different "beliefs" which in turn became different actions. The thing that I found the most dangerous as an adult, with children of my own, was that they thought if a priest said something -- then it had to be true because he would never lie. Early as possible, I got a Bible into each of my children's hands so they could find out what GOD had to say, rather than taking the word of me or anyone else. |
