Everyday I have to remind myself to glorify God in my identity in Him. It is a constant reminder that my identity is in Him and Him alone, and the best way to glorify Him is to continue to be who He has created me to be, His beloved son.
For that hour of worship, the Church celebrates as one family. We stand eternally united and infinitely treasured, closer than ever before.
I, the girl with a reputation for being a model Catholic, had been struggling with masturbation and pornography for years.
I was by far the smallest, least talented player on the team but that didn’t stop me from loving every minute of it.
When I run far away like the prodigal son, my Heavenly Father waits for me patiently and welcomes me home with open arms.
In the presence of God is the only place I want to be while I’m a recovering sinner addicted to my own ideology.
And my faith and how I was living my life changed tremendously. This is because I have friends that pray with and for me.
It then allowed me to see guys for who they really were, and if they didn’t treat me with respect, I didn’t crave that attention or affirmation from them… I just moved on.
Every Catholic that has ever lived — today or thousands of years ago, here or across the globe — is connected to us.
