Little Lessons

This morning at mass, after staring at the Crucifix for some time, Aiden looked at me and asked, "Mama, if Jesus is stronger than soldiers, then how did soldiers kill him?"

"Well, God let that happen. It wasn't that the soldiers were stronger than Jesus, it's just that God knew Jesus had to die for our sins."

His little face lit up and a smile spread across his face, "Oh! So we can go to Heaven...right?"

"Exactly."
