Sac-ri-fice


I was reading the magazine the Latin Mass the other day (in which my sister-in-law published a fabulous article) and put it down for a moment to go take care of Jude. As my back was turned to Faustina studying the front cover, I heard her say the word "Sac-ri-fiiice" in her somewhat robotic voice. I whipped around and asked, "What did you say, Faustina?!". She pointed to the magazine cover and again said, "Sacrifice. Jesus. Carrying cross. Fall down."

I was once again stunned by our little 22 month old. I called Mike and Faustina said 'sacrifice' on the phone for him too. Neither of us had talked to her about 'sacrifice' or explained the cross very specifically to her. I simply cannot believe what these little ones pick up.
