Father George told the story of a young man who had been married awhile and lost his job. He started selling drugs for a living. His wife was scared and prayed and talked him into going on a Curcillo.
He was touched by the Holy Spirit and turned his life around, much to his wife's joy. When his wife became pregnant, after having 3 children, he was thrilled. He called his mother to tell her.
His mother responded with silence. He said, "Aren't you happy for us?" His mother said something about dropping them out like pigs. This was shocking because his mother had eight children!
Anyway, angry words were spoken and the son hung up on his mother. There was no contact for about a month. The mother finally called and apologized, and no more was said.
The couple ended up having fifteen children!
The mother in her old age ended up needing 24 hour care. She's in a nursing home.
Guess who visits her. Who reads to her? Who bring her gifts? Who spends time with her? Who sends greeting cards? Who telephones her? Who watches over her?
Who're her prides and joys?
