Dirty diapers


Formation Toolbox: 

By Benjamin O’Loughlin

Christmas is over. But not just for us. For Jesus, Joseph, and especially Mary, who’s already changed 17 days worth of diapers. Yes, Baby Jesus wore diapers… and Mary had to change them.

That’s what I call faith. Not that changing diapers is anything special. I’m the oldest of 6, and as a kid I put in my fair share of hours changing siblings’ diapers.

Mary changing diapers is faith because there are few things more real, concrete and down to earth than the smell of freshly – or not so freshly – dirtied diapers.
