Catholic Confusion

As I mentioned earlier, we are trying (some days struggling) to get into the habit of a family rosary at night (an abridged version due to the young ages of our children). One thing that has impressed me is how many of the mysteries Cavan does retain, and Kellyn too if she can see a picture. Heck, I didn't even know all of them until college and every now and then, I still have to stop and think about the order of some in the Sorrowful and Luminous vein!

Well, a couple of weeks ago, we were meditating on the Sorrowful Mysteries. For those who are not Catholic or those who have forgotten, here is the rundown:
1) Agony in the Garden
2) Scourging at the Pillar
3) Crowning with Thorns
4) Carrying of the Cross
5) Crucifixion

We were on the first mystery, one of my favorites to meditate upon as it highlights so much of the human side of Jesus, as well as complete submission to God's will in the end. When we talk about this mystery with Cavan and Kellyn, we use one picture which shows an angel at the side of Jesus. So, on this particular night:

Me: Kellyn, what happened in the first Sorrowful Mystery?
Kellyn: Ummm (looking down at the necklace in her hand) . . .
Me: Here, sweetie, look at the picture.
Kellyn: Ummm . . . an angel came . . .
Me: Yes . . .
Kellyn: An angel came to Jesus . . . and said "You're going to have a baby!" (with a smile beaming from her face in pride of her accomplishment)

The First Joyful Mystery is the Annunciation when an angel appeared to Mary and announced that she had conceived a child. Ah, so many angels and too little time to remember what happened when . . . .
