//hearing aid: you'll be safe here - rivermaya
Nobody knows, just why we're here
Could it be fate, or random circumstance
i heard catholics are really bad people, is it true?
i heard this comment from a friend. it hurt a little that she thought or heard that people like me are bad. so i asked her if she thought i was bad and she said no.
i rest my case.
pearl's entry on religion spurred me to think. we catholics are being constantly under the eyes of the other demominations.
people ask me random questions and when we can't answer them, we aren't "true to the faith".
then my dear, can u answer all of religion's burning questions?
we believe in everything. saints, mother mary, jesus, angels. we believe that jesus came and went and will come again.
we believe in the holy trinity, the promises that God gave us.
so that's our difference.
we believe that whatever is here, is God.
it hurts me when people come up to me and say i shouldn't be catholic just because "we aren't as praise-worthy"
i hate people coming up to me and saying you still can be saved
i am catholic not satanic.
i don't need to stand up and raise my hands, look as if i am in a trance just so to praise Him.
i worship him softly and in my own time when i deem proper.
i pray to him when i'm alone. i sing to him in my heart.
i love God and will never forsake him.
even if i don't try to convert people.
many people say we should be more pro-active and get people to join the church.
i don't believe in that.
i say, lets concentrate on our souls, purifying it and making it whole.
rather than dragging people from the street to church.
i have so many christian friends who agree with me that there isn't much of a difference between them and me.
we have the same God. how different can it get?
crikes, i think i might get sued for this. haha oh well.

i spent the day at home and at holy cross for mass.
fr. jj is amazing at sermons.
it was about being selfish and not sharing your talents in ministry.
i had a sick satisfaction that i wasn't one of those
i should shoot myself.
the night was spent at mr prata with the youngest cousin.
he's grown so much since he came into my life.
gone are the days when i use to tease him about video games and toys.
we talked about politics, relationships and death.
the cousin shaun
then off to russ and ken. desmond, merlynn and nick joined.
home bound now. its good to be home.
put your heart, in my hands. you'll be safe here.
