We have an art niche in the foyer, where we have some religious items including a bottle of holy water. David got into the habit of blessing Gabriel with some of the holy water whenever they walked by the niche. Gabriel will now try to bless himself with any kind of water. I caught him tonight in the girls' bathroom, scooping water out of the toilet and patting himself on the head. He couldn't understand why Mommy grabbed him and washed his hair for the second time that night. How do I explain to a 18 month old that toilet water is NOT blessed? Does this mean he has a religious vocation? One can only hope and pray.

Um...that's NOT Holy Water

ReplyDeleteAllison once filled up our holy water container with tap water. She told me it was low and we needed some more. Luckily, we have a readily assessible deacon to handle these situations!
