Something Needs to Be Said…
Do you ever talk back to the TV? My husband tells me that this is an effective means of communication and that the football players and referees will alter their actions because he has told them what to do. He has told me this frequently through our married life and I am certain that he would not lie to me. I am hoping that blogging is a similarly effective form of communication because I went to mass this morning at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and this must be said.
This…..
….is a baptismal font.
You will see something similar to it in every Catholic Church every place on the planet. They come in many different sizes and shapes and depending on when the church was built it might be at the front of the church or at the door as you walk in. Even if it is big and looks like it might sort of be like a fountain, it is not. It is a baptismal font. You may dip your fingers in the water and bless yourself with it, if you would like. Even if you are not Catholic. Really. Everyone is welcome to bless themselves with the water. It is not, however, a wishing well. Please do not throw money into it.
Thank you. I feel better now.
