Today I'll direct you to Dorothy Pilarski's article in the Catholic Register.
Could not have said it better myself.
Have we taught our children to have a personal relationship with Jesus?
Beyond being told, that "Jesus, is your best friend" I don't recall any adult emphasizing this in my childhood/teen years.
Though I do make a concerted effort to teach my boys, that Jesus wants to be their friend and we very often compare how we treat our human friends to how we treat Jesus.
Dorothy does an awesome job of breaking that down in this article.
