Coming from a misguided Protestant teaching of believers' baptism where I forgot baptism is something GOD does - man does not do! I am so grateful all of our children were Baptized as infants before my poor teaching! I look back and know for certain my Aunt Agatha was used by GOD to change my life!!!! I remember how I loved her as a child. It was like we had strings of love round us - my Mother's other two sisters were almost invisible. I only had eyes for her. I called her GAYTHA!<br />Terry Fenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664864341946607447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999495685907656574.post-5846441179310083852013-02-05T23:12:00.797-08:002013-02-05T23:12:00.797-08:00Just bought tears to my eyes....thank God for brin...Just bought tears to my eyes....thank God for bringing you and Tom home...and Aunt Agatha+ INDNJC + Sandra Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168543309399102473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999495685907656574.post-39264422701308571632012-02-05T10:35:07.794-08:002012-02-05T10:35:07.794-08:00When Agatha was arrested, the legend says, she pra...When Agatha was arrested, the legend says, she prayed: “Jesus Christ, Lord of all things! You see my heart, you know my desires. Possess all that I am—you alone. I am your sheep; make me worthy to overcome the devil.” And in prison: “Lord, my creator, you have protected me since I was in the cradle. You have taken me from the love of the world and given me patience to suffer. Now receive my spirit.”<br /><br />Patron Saint of:<br /><br />Breast disease, against<br />Foundry workers<br />NursesTerry Fenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664864341946607447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999495685907656574.post-5796252678448259642012-01-11T09:28:47.442-08:002012-01-11T09:28:47.442-08:00Marie, Sorry I just saw your comment! Thank you, ...Marie, Sorry I just saw your comment! Thank you, first, Marie for your encouragement on Facebook. You are always so kind and loving. <br /><br />And for Journey Home? Yes, so many people thought we should be on that program and I think I did, too, at one time. It was before Tom left us - for that much better place - and we both would have been good for others - we had such JOY - and we both knew the Word and had been serving the Lord for years. Alone? I think not and I also don't travel any longer.Terry Fenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664864341946607447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999495685907656574.post-51232817855234641022012-01-11T09:24:37.474-08:002012-01-11T09:24:37.474-08:00I was baptized a second time as an adult - dunked ...I was baptized a second time as an adult - dunked - not a 'just in case' but a feeling at the time everyone should be dunked - probably in the River Jordan - but skipped that when I was there. Then, becoming Catholic, I did know that the time with Aunt Agatha had probably saved my life for all those years I needed guidance. She was a special woman.Terry Fenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664864341946607447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999495685907656574.post-32109747308127493012012-01-11T06:23:20.871-08:002012-01-11T06:23:20.871-08:00I never tire of hearing this "epiphany",...I never tire of hearing this "epiphany", as Marie calls it!

Your Aunt clearly had the gift of discernment and the virtue of love.<br /><br />Have you ever considered contacting EWTN's Marcus Grodi ("The Journey Home")?

I think her Mother was Catholic but things must have been said about this when she was growing up with the new wife of her Father and then her sisters by that marriage.

I am so glad - and the church wants babies baptized as soon as possible.
