  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Children's Prayer

Children


Holy Father in Heaven,
Thank You for the gift of children's voices
When we gather together to worship you.

The sound of those small voices brings to mind
Your Only Son, Jesus Christ.
How wonderful to remember that He, too, was a small child,
Just like the ones with us today.
The sound of His Voice brought joy and profound love
To His Holy Mother's heart.

When I hear these children, Dear Father,
It will help me to remember that You truly are with us today.
I will hear the Voice of the Child Jesus,
Even as we remember His unselfish love,
Which He gave to us in His maturity.

Thank You, Father, for reminding us
Of Your Divine and Holy Presence in our lives.

Glad you liked it.

It came to me after sitting in church so many times when children were making noise. Then, one day at Sunday service, the priest made an announcement that parents were welcome to take their children so as not to disrupt the service.

I suddenly saw what I wrote in the prayer.
