*Allison Gingras interviews Catholic Mom contributing writer Carmen Lappe about her recent article.*

Recently on Instagram, I interviewed Catholic Mom writer Carmen Lappe about her recent article, [Childlike Trust.](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/childlike-trust)

Carmen discusses how the things we learn from our children are a "little homily," and are often a powerful lesson.

We also talked about spending time in Eucharistic Adoration: "I can just sit there ... and let that love wash over me. ... I don't have to do. I don't have to produce."

Carmen's article made me think about how, when I'm praying the Rosary, I'm in essence holding Mary's hand, holding my Mother's hand.
