When I Say…”I Am Catholic”
When I say…”I am a Catholic” I’m not shouting “I am saved” I’m whispering “I get lost!” “That is why I chose this way.”
When I say…”I am a Catholic” I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble and need someone to be my guide.
When I say…”I am a Catholic” I’m not trying to be strong. I’m professing that I’m weak and pray for strength to carry on.
When I say…”I am a Catholic” I’m not bragging of success. I’m admitting I have failed and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say…”I am a Catholic” I’m not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are too visible but God believes I’m worth it.
When I say…”I am a Catholic” I still feel the sting of pain I have my share of heartaches which is why I seek His name.
When I say…”I am a Catholic” I do not wish to judge. I have no authority. I only know I’m loved.
