What I realized I was doing, though, was internalizing my faith too much, and not helping my boys enough in their spiritual growth. I am working to change that right now; that is my fault, since I worked too hard to strike a balance between my non-Catholic husband and myself. A mistake.

It is hard to be married to a non-Catholic, isn't it? I also have internalized (read: marginalized) my faith over the years in order to "keep the peace" or so that my husband wouldn't think I was a "holy-roller" or something. I have totally turned that around and now live it and talk it every day. I don't want my kids to grow up and say what I said in my previous post - I wasn't taught in my youth. I also know that faith is the most important gift we can pass on to our children. I happen to believe that that faith is best taught and understood by the Catholic Church (or at least the Catachism of the Catholic Church).
