I haven't done a really truly spiritual blogpost in such a long time, ever since one on my experiences of my 1st Holy Communion(on May 3rd's post). And so I am going to share with you today of some of some of my experiences during the Mass and other places with God and a bit of Catechism, which probably you already know, but I'll just put it in my own words. One summer a priest came with a lot of relics to show and heal. He gave a lovely talk on the Saint's relics and how some people were healed from either kissing our touching the relic's he had brought. After the lecture, which moved all of us, we went to the cafeteria where long tables were filled with relics. There was a piece of Mary's veil, a tiny bit of the cross which held Jesus for three hours, and the lance which pierced his side. I was looking for St. Kateri (Tekakwitha.) since I wanted her for my confirmation saint. When I found her, I kissed the relic and then walked off to find other saint's which I loved. Suddenly, I turned right around again and spent quite sometime meditating on St. Katiri's relic. I walked away again. Came back. This happened about three or four times. I now am more sure of myself that Kateri is going to be my Confirmation name. She was like a magnet, drawing me towards her, just as Mary, Our Mother has done with so many souls. Now for Catechism! I have often wondered why God took the trouble to make us. He could have had quite a bit more fun it just being himself and the angels, couldn't he? Well, I was reading Youcat on Saturday night pondering about it. I am really trying to learn my Catechism, since I want to be prepared for Confirmation, you know, and also, A true daughter of Christ must be faithful to the faith, right? I found out suddenly in my head, after reading the answer in YouCat (a catechism for youth). God is Love itself! Can you believe that?(Is God really a big red heart?)What if we had a God of no love, of Hatefulness, and Cruelty. What if he was like the priest that passed the wounded man, his sores left open until the Good Samaritan came and showed him God's Love. Wouldn't that be just awful! We would be left of the dusty road to shrivel up into nothingness, to die, while God looked on. But he IS a God of Love! That is why he made us, out of everlasting love! He thought we were that important in Life, He even had his Son die for us, out of love. Intense Love, Sacrificing love...
