It’s Friday! Take just Five today, and start a conversation with your grandparents or an elder today. Friday, July 26 Memorial of Joachim and Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary In praise of grandparents “Grandmother, Grandfather, what was it like when you were growing up?” Thus begins many a conversation between a young child and his or her grandparents. Grandparents link the generations in a special way, spooling out the thread of tradition that is handed down from parent to child to grandchild over the ages. They are the keepers of memory, reminding us of how things “used to be.” Without this perspective, each generation would have to start from scratch, making the same mistakes and learning the same painful lessons. If we take the time to really listen to what our parents’ parents have to say, we might just build a better world for our children’s children. Today’s readings: Exodus 20:1-17; Matthew 13:18-23 (399) “The seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it.” preparetheword
