We had the privilege of attending a baby's baptism with our Vietnamese friends who arrived in Australia nearly 30 years ago now. Mya was the newest grandchild of Mo and Ha. Their third daughter Thui is Mya's mother. In the picture above, Thui's husband Michael is holding Mya. Beside Michael is Mo and Ha's fifth daughter Rosemary and Thui is beside her (not as tall as Rosemary). The priest did a wonderful job involving the children in the celebration. Mya was 'crossed' with oil by as many people who were willing to come out to do it.
And of course the kids who were already out the front all had a turn making the oiled sign of the cross on Mya's forehead. Mya was literally glistening by the end. It was a very special occasion to share. We are glad for Thui and Michael. May God bless and nurture this young family.
