We all see God’s Blessing at work in the birth of every child. Now, we see God’s Blessing to older Catholic parents!
An amazing Fact that many want to hide: Older Catholic Parents live longer!
According to a study published in the journal Menopause: “Women who had their last child after the age of 33 had twice the odds of ‘exceptional longevity’ — defined as living to about 95 — as did women who had their last child before age 29.”
That study was made over ten years ago. Few people in the academic world want to validate such things!
The same miracle is at work in older fathers! The BBC reported that “U.S. scientists have found children with older fathers and grandfathers appear to be ‘genetically programmed’ to live longer.”
And, the children of older parents also live longer! The Huffingdon Post reports: “Compared with people whose parents had shorter lifespans, centenarians’ offspring had a 42% lower risk of early death, the study found. They also had a 33% lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and a 32% lower risk of high blood pressure.”
Catholic Thinking is validated by actual facts: “The more time we spend having children, the longer we and our children will live!”
Many Catholics have children in their teens and twenties. They may be blessed to realize: “We have learned a lot about having and raising children! So, let’s have more in our thirties and forties!”
While others waste time accumulating assets that disappear at death, the most blessed Catholic Couples make a far wiser investment:
“We will bring immortal souls into being and raise our blessed children to ‘Be as Cathlic as we can!'”
Those Catholic Parents have made the wisest investment it is possible to make. They and their families are blessed forever with the “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”.
He Who Fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies gave His Life to leave those “keys “ to His First Catholic Pope:
“And I say unto you: ‘Thou art Peter, and on this rock I build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.'”
Those “keys to the Kingdom of Heaven” include The Seven Catholic Sacraments which begin with Baptism!
A simple question and simple answer guide Catholics after each baby:
“How many more children should we have?”
“One.”
