True Confessions Of A Daily Mass-Goer

There are a lot of stigmas that come with being Catholic and practicing your faith in this day and age is harder than ever before. While people are offended by God's name and feel judged by anyone of religious background, the world has created their own idea of who Catholics are. While most of them are completely off, here are a few accurate depictions of Catholics and daily mass goers.

1. We’re not all old people who wag their fingers at people for living differently.

People who are very involved in their Catholic faith and attend daily mass regularly are some of the most understanding and non-judgmental people you will ever meet. Just because they choose to dive deeper into their relationship with God shouldn't automatically put them into the condemning corner.

2. Getting in line to receive the Eucharist is actually so exciting!

I mean who wouldn't be excited to receive the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ?!

3. We all know we're broken and that life can get tough, that's why we choose to let God heal us.

Even in the dry seasons of our faith, we know God is the way, the truth, and the life, so why not keep chugging along?

4. Meeting someone who is also Catholic, commence  the celebration.

While everyone these days are offended by using God's name, finding someone who shares your faith opens the door to pretty much every topic without a filter!

5. Adoration is the single most beautiful sight you will ever see.

"That's it. That's all we need. Not much, right? It's just a piece of bread. But the power contained in that monstrance is enough to satisfy the deepest desires of every living being. Crazy."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
