My Faith

Someone asked me today why I write and speak so much about my Catholic faith. They asked why I don't just talk about God. I sat there for a moment and one mistake that I did was walk away from the conversation when I should have let that person know why exactly I speak about my Catholic Faith. This person said to me (not in exact words) "When you get to the gates of Heaven God is going to ask you why you spoke so much about religion (the Catholic faith) and not just about him." My heart started to hurt after I heard that sentence. Heres why:

First I don't believe my God would ask me that question, but if he did this would be my answer. "My God I am in awe of who You are and I am in awe of what You are about. When I would read about You and Your journey in Your book I can't stop thinking about all the beautiful lessons you wanted to teach Your people and all the beautiful gifts that were given through You. My Catholic faith taught me to loves those people that You held close and to love the gifts that you gave. Lord, I can't tell you how amazing it is to receive you every Sunday with the Holy Eucharist. I can't tell you how much I love the gift of confession I can't tell you how much I love Adoration. I can't tell you how much I love each and every Sacrament that You gave us. You see and feel my heart. You see how much of this amazing Faith has brought me sooooo much closer to You. I wanted others to feel that. I never pressured anyone to come directly to the Catholic Church. They have to feel it inside their hearts and that's what I feel. I cry because of how beautiful the faith is and how much I love the faith because of how it brought me closer to You. My heart is for You. My love is for You. I am Your Hands, Your Ears, Your Eyes and Your Feet. I work for You. I give because You want me to give. I love because You want me to show Your love. I cry because You want me to Shed my tears. But Lord, I love the Catholic Church because I see You. I feel You. I cry for You. I am touched By You, and I can't keep something so beautiful away from people. If I kept it away my heart would hurt."

I think He would be happy with my answer :)

Have you ever wondered what your answer would be?
