My family knows I have been going to Orthodox churches off and on. They don't know I am getting chrismated soon. I am not going to sit down and be all serious about them knowing, but if it comes up, I really want them to be ok with it and not question me too much about it.

2 Cor. 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Yes. It's easier and goes over better for several reasons. |

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner.  God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament |

I was just going to keep telling them that I am going to x or y church on Sundays (because I live with them) and beyond that let them bring it up. |
