[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The greatest thing you can do, IMO, is keep strong the domestic church in your home. Live by example be open to talking with your children and taking an interest in them, not just religiously. Build strong connections, create a foundation of love. Pray for them regularly. Keep God in their world so He doesn't seem like a foreign concept if they find themselves seeking Him or wondering more about Him.[/quote]

08:31 back.  I would agree with this answer, but I admit that it is hard, a lot of hard work.  Does your spouse help you with this, OP?  It can even be harder if it's just you and not our spouse, I think.  Honestly, our decision to send DD to Catholic school was born not out of a sense that we ourselves are uber-religious, but with an awareness of our weakness, our inability to create all this community and love for God and His Church by ourselves.  I think it is very, very hard, and I commend you for being as proactive as you have been.  Here is one other thought:  [b]pray about it.[/b]  :)  [/quote]

I do.

I pray every single day about this.  Generally that prayer is along the lines of "God, please give the gift of faith to ______ and ______.  Let them know the joy of a strong relationship with you...etc."  One of these days I'm bound to get an affirmative answer!  [/quote]

That's good! Remember the story of ST. Monica, who prayed fervently for her son St. Augustine, that he would get the gift of faith too!  Maybe pray to St. Monica!  :)[/quote]
