Challenging



Just a small blog.
For the past 2 weeks I have been going to daily Mass. It is a very relaxing way to start out my day. Our new priest is very inspirational and I love listening to his homilies. But there's something I've noticed about this week...Everday morning so far, right as Father is preparing the Meal, the sun shines brilliantly and just really illuminates the Mass. It has happened everyday so far. =)
I think God is trying to cheer me up and give me hope. I've been having trouble trying to figure out what to do about the fact that my friends, the ones from college, are Presbyterian. I want to hang out with them so much and go to their Bible Studies and Youth Group, but I know what they teach isn't the Truth and it really frustrates me. I need Catholic teens to hang with but I don't know where to go to look for them.
 I want to show them(my friends) all the Truth but I realize that that is nearly impossible. Their church is really big, with lots of people and little kids. (All the more reason to try and convert them. Those kids are our next generation)
It really gets me down when all I can do is just "plant the seeds" of the Truth...I can't fully convert them in a day/week/month/year. It would take so long...
I guess I just need to really wait and be patient for our own Parish to start activities for the kids. I will definitely be willing to volunteer as a leader! I have so many ideas now...I just hope we can get some of the people back that left because of our old priest.

All I can do is pray and trust in the Lord to do what needs to be done...

"Our Father, who art in  Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, They will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven..."

God Bless and Peace be with you!
