Inspirational Column

To the Editor:

I would like to thank you for publishing the article “Broken, Beautiful and Beloved” (CNY, Oct. 6). This column was a great inspiration. I was planning a catechesis with my first-grade parents on Oct. 19, and I was working on how to start off my lesson. 

Tthe article was an inspiration! I used it as a springboard for my catechesis with my parents and children. I even brought shells, which I also collect. The parents all agreed with what Mary DeTurris Poust wrote—that just like the shells, “we are broken but still beautiful and beloved” in the eyes of our Creator!

Ms. DeTurris Poust is a great writer and poet.  I want to thank her for the beautiful article.
