How Amazing! I didn't know where this was going ... many Catholics do not SHOW our faith to others .. for me, it was because I was raised Pentecostal and the whispers and rumblings I heard about Catholicism instilled a "fear" of the "strang rituals" and adorations and reverences.
I married a Catholic in 1980 and began going to Mass with him and his family. I was drawn from within my heart as I learned more about our Church, to understand what rituals meant, the many ways the Mass prays, a whole church, together, and the deep spiritual beliefs that I found were solid and supportive of the Scriptures.
I love The Church and the first time I brought my Rosary out "in public" was at my Granny's deathbed in March 2003. I asked others in the room, "do you mind if I pray my Rosary for Granny?" All nodded affirmation, but most left the room. I prayed my Rosary, for Granny, for the love I have for her, and it was with tears of joy, love and yet sadness in losing her.
Point: I proudly display a rosary hanging on my rearview mirror in my car and I cannot tell you how many times I get into that car and I grasp the Crucifix and pray, the times I turn down the radio and pray all the way to where I am going and again on the trip back home.
I am PROUD to be CATHOLIC and I want the world to see how beautiful our Faith is and what a difference is has made in my life.
Happy Mother's Day, dear Therese. May the Lord's Love shine upon you and yours this day and always,
Abbey
