As I am passing out snacks to my son in church this morning trying to keep him from both hurting his sister and pissing off his father, I was reminded of one of my many youthful misunderstandings of church. I grew up an American Catholic. Lots of stuff to misunderstand. But the one that came to mind was when I used to think, thanks to the way the entire congregation would pause during reciting the Creed, that Mary's womb was named Jesus.
"Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus."
I am almost embarrassed to say, that one took me MANY years to figure out. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday season no matter how you celebrate. Mine includes diapers, lots of food, lego and whole lotta alcohol. God bless!
