At an early age‚ I understood that this was a decision I one day wanted to make for myself. I understand but my love of God and my desire to follow him would be lifelong. When I got older‚ the desire was still there‚ but I had come to realize its implications. For me‚ my baptism as a promise to God. I wanted to make

“There Will Be Blood” Let me begin by saying that the movie‚ “There Will Be Blood‚” was completely different than I had originally thought it would be. I knew very little about the storyline of the movie and had very little background information. I guess all I really presumed what that ‘there would be blood;’ which did not happen much either. Almost immediately after beginning the film‚ I was less than amused by the look of it. The plot begins in a desolate field; no people‚ just music. I had

Matrimony Matrimony‚ or Marriage‚ like Holy Orders‚ is a sacrament that consecrates for a particular mission in building up the Church‚ and that provides grace for accomplishing that mission. This sacrament‚ seen as a sign of the love uniting Christ and the Church‚ establishes between the spouses a permanent and exclusive bond‚ sealed by God.

Over-Zealous Convert Syndrome - it began to set in like a plague in my spiritual life. Whereas beforehand‚ I had been more or less just frustrated and intellectually prideful on my journey into the Catholic Church‚ I now began to be angry‚ uncharitable‚ and ultimately headed down a slippery slope. I had started writing this blog back in 2011‚ and one can see the progression. Even then‚ I lamented the fact that the online Catholic catechesis courses I was in were advocating "centering prayer"

Partaking in the Eucharist‚ therefore‚ is essential for a person to continue fulfilling their baptismal promise. Eucharist literally means “to give thanks.” At the Last Supper‚ Jesus sat around a table with
