Being Catholic isn't always easy, and sometimes the institution makes me mad, but I'd never leave. I love the richness of it too much. I could never meet my spiritual needs elsewhere and I love too many people here.
I'm on the RCIA (Roman Catholics in Agony) team (nah, just kidding, Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) and have been helping my friend Ann for 5 years now. (I actually took a break after adopting the girls, but am back on track now.) I finally became legit and earned my Basic Catechist certificate and my Master Catechist certification. If you do RCIA, I'd love to hear from you.
In October of 1999, I made my Cursillo. It is a weekend retreat designed to bring you closer in your relationship to God. Have you made one?
