Christmas is a religious holiday and I thought there was no better time to talk about my religion then during blogmas, so I am going to tell you guys why am Catholic. Note: If you are not Catholic, or are not Christian then I do not think anything less of you, and I don't hate you because of your values, everybody has different values and I different, and I think this is great, I am just asking that you do the same towards me.
#1 Because I Truly Love Jesus
This one is more of a reason why I am Christian,but yes, I love Jesus, He died for our sins, so we can have eternal life in heaven and he paid the price for us. I want to repay him and God for this, by being Christian, and in my case Catholic, because I want to be the best person I can be in the eyes of Jesus.
#2 Because Mother Mary is the soul who had the honor of holding and birthing Baby Jesus. In the Catholic branch of Christianity, we honor Mother Mary a lot. We have prayers that we say often talking to Mary, and about Mary. This is because we believe that Mary is a very important part of Christianity since she herself was blessed by God, and chosen by God to carry his one and only son.
#3 Because I strive to be like the saints were in my life. Another aspect of Catholicism, is the saints. When you become confirmed in the Catholic church, you take on a second middle name, which is the name of a saint of your choosing. The Saints are very important in Catholic teachings because we are taught to be like the Saints were/are, and be fully dedicated to God, and bring goodness into this Earth. I personally, strive to be like the Saints, and Jesus were/are, and I am going to do great things in my life, that are inspired by these Saints.
#4 Because I want to/am serving God in my life. Once again this is one that is more aimed to why I am Christian. But, yes I am serving God in my life. In my life I plan on/am doing so many things for God. I will be going to Church every Sunday, and even more in my adult life, and I will be a part of Church groups, bible studies, and even missionary work. To me all of these things are important, to help serve God. God can use me to bring his message to the world, and that is what I am trying to do!
