So… it seems as if all my friends on Facebook are posting pictures of the kids they’ve had since last year… all kinds of people, and all sorts of friends… As a priest whose primary ministry is to Children, Youth, and Young Adults, I’m called on to do a fair amount of baptisms.
I never counted on how much it would hurt to look at my friends (pregnant/with kids) or hold a baby to be baptised, knowing that it’s not possible for me. I thought that this would be a passing thing, that as I got older and eventually began menopause I wouldn’t care so much, or the pain would lessen, or something.
I was wrong.
