Sharing Our Faith

[AlterDominicus]

Part of our Catholic Faith is the whole well-being of sharing our faith with others around the world, or we cant be one Body in Christ. Now some of the things that we share may seem so radical, and so insane, but God knows you from hair to toe-nail that you should fear anything or what people say about it.

That is why I am going to share something with you that I've told a very select few group of people, for that is a point out of 100 ways of our Christian life, to share our life, to share our faith, and to Live Out Loud;

[i]Sometime in the year 2004, my cousin, my brother, my mother, and my sister-in-law and I went bowling together, I ended up winning, and we got DQ ice cream, it was dark out, not a single shade of light driving in the country, we were heading back home when I looked out the window, by my Catholic Life, and Christian vow, I saw Jesus Christ on the cross, I remember every single perfecto detail of what our Lord looked like, that if I was an expert artist, I'd draw it if He wanted me to.[/i]

This is a good point. what is our faith to us if we're not living it everyday?

I was soooooooooooooooooo afraid at first why wouldnt I be? But it bottled up so much inside of me that I had to tell someone, I mean I didnt even think the nuns and sisters would believe me! And I believe God wanted me to share that with others, no matter how crazy they all thought I was.

I can sympathize. I've had similar experiences. I think you might be surprised if you decide to share it with religious who probably ought to know (like your SD or the VD of a community you're particularly interested in). I was probably more incredulous of the experiences than they were. You're not crazy (well probably not anyways! ) It's definately a grace from God. Peace!

Haha, I first shared it with my true extended family the Summit Nuns, it was either Sister Judith Miryam or Sister Mary Catharine....not sure, after I told one of them, there was a five second pause. Haha. Or at least I think thats how it went. It happened two years ago.

[uruviel]

how did they react?

[AlterDominicus]

It was hard to tell, but I think they believed me and understood.

[uruviel]

that's good

A glimpse of God...what a blessing.

[AlterDominicus]

Truly it was, believe me.
