"My youngest sister, Maureen, was born when I was a sophomore in high school. I remember the day of her baptism, when our parish priest followed this ancient ritual. He invited my parents and Maureen's godparents to sign her with the cross, but he also invited me and my other sisters to make the sign on her forehead.
"He said that just as Maureen was a blessing to our family, so we would be a blessing to her. . . ."In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej,
OSFS, reflected on the importance of offering and being blessings to others.
