What is my purpose in life? In the Baltimore Catechism, it states that "God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him for ever in heaven." (Lesson First)
So what are the basics of being a practicing Catholic? There are the "usual" things we think of, such as going to Mass on Sundays, going to Confession during Advent and Lent, and being a good example to others.
But why not strive to do more, and not settle for less? I would like to share what I have been "up to" lately, as a newlywed.
After getting married to my wonderful, loving husband, I officially moved to a different parish. It has been like starting from scratch, but in a good way. My focus has been on entering into this new vocation we had established together, as husband and wife.
The past couple of weeks have been a time of renewal for me. I'm still getting to know my parish and the people, but I returned to going to daily Mass as often as possible, and made a point of going to Confession again.
With no ministry to be a part of yet, I reflected on how I can live out the Faith as a housewife. I pray with my spouse (yes, my spouse!) every morning, every night, and on my own throughout the day. God willing, I will soon resume my videos on A Catholic Presence's Youtube channel. I try to set a good example, and love my husband in countless ways.
This has also been a time of renewal in faith, reverence in church, and, as already mentioned, accustoming myself to my vocation.
We shall see where the Lord leads, and I encourage you to join me on this journey of being reignited and in love with Him.
