My twin daughters, Mary Claire and Rose Genevieve were baptized on Sunday into Christ's holy Body.

Interestingly enough, they also were chrismated with oil consecrated by our [Anglican] bishop. This is a throw back, I suppose, to when the Western church also chrismated their infants. Of course, they will again receive christmation again when they are confirmed later on. Kinda confusing.

Incidentally, there is a small movement of Anglicans (and even Presbyterians) who are returning to paedocommunion (giving Holy Communion to baptized infants). Quite fascinating.

yours in Christ,
Marshall

Dear Marshall:

Congratulations on the baptism (and chrismation/confirmation?) of your twin daughters!

I know they are doubly beautiful because they took after their mother! smile

May God bless your little ones! My own and only daughter is named " Maria Rose" so I feel a bit of kinship with you...

PS: Twins are way way way way more fun than a single child.
