“You know, “ I called to my husband in the other room, “If I had
lived even a hundred years ago, I would have probably died because of
childbearing by now.” We were dealing with yet another health issue of

NCRegister Blog: A Letter to My Daughter on her First Communion Day
My dear sweet girl,
When I kneel beside you in Eucharistic Adoration, I always wonder what is going on in that sensitive heart of yours. You always ask to sit right in the front of the chapel and settle down quietly to pray. I notice how you look earnestly toward the host in the monstrance. What do you say to your Savior in the depth of your heart? Do you tell him how much you love him? Do you thank him for all he does for you? Do you ask him to help you? Do you pray for me as well? I have noticed that when you pray, God answers your prayers.
Today, May 12, your First Communion day is the feast day of Blessed Imelda Lambertini who is the patron saint of First Communicants.
