  Let us fall into the hands of the Lord Sirach 2:18 Last Tuesday, I had the opportunity to attend RCIA classes with my roommate Kelsey. RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, so Kelsey will become CATHOLIC at the Easter Vigil mass this coming Easter. First off, I am so happy for…

Because you are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you Isaiah 43:4 So recently, I started Decision Point by Dynamic Catholic. The high school religion classes I help teach are based around this book/video series, so I decided why not start it myself?! Today, I started session two which is titled what’s…

You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve Luke 4:8 This week I decided to talk about my journey of faith during college and how at times it was easy to be Catholic and how sometimes it was not.  It seems easy when you leave high school right? All on…
