My friend at work showed all concerned I was Catholic (that I worship Mary and the saints for some reason specifically St. Paul??—-etc etc the usual takes) and literally tried to talk me out of being one—- so I defended my faith, explained a handful of theology in correction to her claims simply for her to understand, thanked her for the concerns kindly, but boldly stated I’ll never leave it because it’s who I am and I’ll never stop. After we parted ways to drive home from work, I got in my truck, took out the Rosary I always carry in my left pocket, and kissed my crucifix. I told Jesus that I loved Him and that I’ll never leave. After the kiss, when everything was calm and peaceful, I was filled with the greatest joy! I had the strongest urge to drive to the nearest Eucharistic Adoration and visit Him but it’s very late and I don’t have a key to any chapel. Instead, I sung hymns from my church all the way home feeling the joy linger until I got there. I’m not volunteering for overtime this week so I’m definitely going to Mass and Eucharist Adoration as soon as possible, can’t wait!
