Fr. Joe Newman, OSFS, on Grandmothers and God's Children

"The priest always sits next to the grandma at wedding receptions. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, I will be seated next to grandma. I love this arrangement! First, we are usually one of the first to eat. Second, I get to meet everyone as they come and greet grandma. Finally, and this insight is new, I learn a little more about who God is when I’m seated next to a grandma. I’ll explain.."

In a recent commentary based on the writings of St. Francis de Sales, Father Joe Newman, OSFS, reflected on our being sons and daughters of God.
