This life is not forever.
andawayawaysheflew:
God,
You are worth more than a good time, two minutes of gossip, my own selfish needs, and the world’s ways that offer me no love.
I only seek to please you.

Fat Tuesday.

lovelyloretta:
I don’t really understand the concept of overindulging in everything you’re not supposed to have during Lent.
As my priest always says, whatever you’re doing for Lent should not be something that you plan on going back to once Easter is here. You should do something that will affect your life forever after. As an adult, you shouldn’t give up candy because it’s...

Day 9: A Desire to Love
thepursuitofpurity:
If there’s anything this retreat has taught me, it’s been that I know I want to live a life dedicated to love - love for God, love for others, and love for love itself.
Whether I should go about that through entering the seminary, marrying a woman of faith, remaining single, or joining a religious order - it’s really beyond me.
But I know that I want to love.
I want to...

I refuse to live by this world's standards.

They’re never going to lead me to true happiness.
Amen.

Just applied for my senior year classes.
AP Bio, AP Calculus AB, AP World History, Spiritual Journey, Psychology, US Government, American/British Lit, World Religions. Possibly an independent study of Italian V.
After much deliberation through prayer, this is what I feel the Lord is calling me to study for my last year of high school.
Even though I still can’t figure out why I’m required to take World Religions and US...

The Pursuit of Purity: Day 4: Moving On →
thepursuitofpurity:
I’m constantly tempted to give in to all the darkness.
Yet I’m constantly reminded of the times I’ve seen the light.
I’m constantly tempted to be driven by my blindness.
Yet I’m constantly reminded of the times that I gained sight.
I’m frightened by the past.
Yet I’m hopeful for the future.
Lord Jesus, you know the deepest longings of my heart. You know my desire to...

Day 3: A Letter to my Valentine
thepursuitofpurity:
My Queen, my Mother, I give myself entirely to you, and to show my devotion to you I consecrate to you my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole body without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am your own, keep me and guard me as your property and possession. Amen.

The Illusion of True Love
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this time and time again whenever I post something relating to relationships, but I never tire of saying it - I probably don’t know what I’m talking about since I’ve never been in a relationship before.
Ha. No resentment there. Promise. :P
But being in a high school where it’s really not that difficult to spot a couple making out in...

Day 2: A Reminder
thepursuitofpurity:
Jesus, You’re all this heart is living for.
Through the intercession of your Blessed Mother, may I always remind myself that my heart belongs to You and no one else, for I long to be Yours.
I place my trust in You.

Day 1: Sometimes..
thepursuitofpurity:
Sometimes, I wish I could find a way to unsee all the things I’ve seen, unhear all the things I’ve heard, and undo all the things I’ve done.
However, I’m slowly starting to understand the necessity of not only learning to live with my past, but accept it, as part of His plan for me.

Yeah… That’s the point. (Romans 12:2)
We’re not called to be “with the world” because the world and all that it offers is not of God, and is not for God. If the Church was shaped by the world, it couldn’t be of God. Because God the Father chose the first Pope, Jesus Christ established its…

Grace - Not 5
badwolfcomplex:
catholicknight:
A couple weeks ago at my daughter’s first reconciliation the priest was talking to them about what to expect. As he talked about the absolution he raised his hand then added, “I’m not trying to give you a high five. That’s when the absolution is given. I’ve had people give me a high five. Don’t do that.”
My actual reaction:

Let us always remember that love never fails. Let us never forget the command of Jesus to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.
Of course this is easier said than done. Admittedly, I struggle daily with trying to love my enemies and pray for my persecutors.
But when I look upon the cross of Christ with a repentant heart, I remember that I myself am a sinner. I remember that not...

Redemption
“When we speak about truth and life and redemption, we are speaking of Christ.”
- St. Ambrose of Milan
I often find it hard to get my mind wrapped around the idea of God’s mercy. Like the stars in the sky that remind me of the great vastness of the universe, I cannot even begin to fathom how unbelievably blessed I am to experience something so boundless and immeasurable,...
