I was a "Cradle catholic"by birth. At the age of reason graduated to a "cultural catholic" submitting to all the pressure my parents brought to bear. Receiving all the sacraments required by a catholic upbringing. Married a catholic in the Catholic Church and slowly slipped into becoming a "Comatose catholic". I wanted to be free from all this oppression and being told what to do and what to believe. A "cafeteria catholic", at best...that’s right...I would pick and chose what I thought was best for me. I did not think I needed some little fat guy in white telling me what to do from Rome.
Well! Thank God, My God is the God of Jacob.
He is the God of infinite patience, infinite mercy and grace.
He is the God of mighty transforming power.
Now my goal is to become a Catholic with a capital “C”
It’s not a democracy I don’t get a vote
I don’t get to pick and chose
The “Lord’s day” is God’s day not my day
The sanctity of life has no exceptions
I have come to realize that
“Freedom can be found, laden down, under the weight of the wood”
Amen
