Our Sentiments Exactly - "I Was Robbed"

robber
As Catholic Baby Boomers growing up in the 70's, my husband and I often felt like we were cheated. It is interesting that a Generation X-er would feel like this too.

We attended the guitar folk Masses, where they sang catchy little tunes like "I Am the Resurrection". My husband never learned about devotions such as praying the Daily Rosary, Adoration or Holy Hours, the Divine Mercy Chaplet (well that came later so that is understandable), etc. I remember attending CCD classes but I don't remember using the Baltimore Catechism. I'm almost positive we did not. The saddest memories were of our favorite priests, and leaving the priesthood to be married. We grew up in two different states yet we still had similar experiences. In fact, if it weren't for our respective parents, I really don't know if we would have remained faithful Catholics.

Anyway, I am glad I found this post again. I found it when it was first posted and then I lost it. Mahalo Lynne!
