Finding Comfort in Faith
I’m usually not one for long, drawn-out theocratic discussions, but occasionally one of my Protestant friends will question my beliefs in Roman Catholicism. “But what about all the religious dogma,” he’ll say, “don’t you get tired of the rituals?” In fact, I’ve found comfort and inspiration in the church ever since childhood. When times are tough – either from a personal or financial standpoint – I’ve always been able to fall back on my faith.
The Catholic cross I keep in my bedroom is a perfect example. It’s there hanging beside my bed so that every morning as I comb my hair and get ready to tackle another day, I can repeat the Lord’s Pprayer silently in my head. It serves as a crucial religious reminder as well as a piece of handsome Christian wall art.
