I came into the Church around the same time of year, right before Christmas in 1998, at the age of 18. The greatest gift of all for Christmas...is the gift of our faith. Reminds me of a post I wrote thinking about it myself:<br /><br />"The excitement of a pure-hearted convert is contagious. "Did you know that the rosary is really a meditation on Scripture? Did you know that baptism washes away Original Sin? Wow!" Yes, we know. We know intellectually, and we know from reading the Catechism. We may have known for years, or even all our life. But we know it on a surface level, because we have forgotten the basics. <br /><br />That is why to attain a beginner's heart, we cannot forget. When our prayer becomes rote and our spirit tired, the "diaper days" of a baby Christian can be our memorial altars where we observe that God is still working in His people to bring about salvation for all mankind. We can share in their fundamental joy and wonder by stripping off our airs and simply sitting at the feet of Christ in prayer and adoration, as a child sits at her's mother's feet listening to her read. <br /><br />We can drink for the first time again, hear for the first time again we may have heard thousands of time before. Because the scriptures as living Word, and the Eucharist as the Living Bread, does not grow stale or mold but has the power to renew even the most accustomed spirit, we can become babes again, be born again, over and over. It is not our bodies that reincarnate in future lives, but our heart and spirit that regenerate in this life to prepare us for our Judgement when we will no longer see through a glass darkly, but will know even we are known (1 Cor 13:12), and sit before the Judge stripped naked as the day we were born."<br /><br />https://fatherofthefamily.blogspot.com/2020/10/beginners-heart.html <br /><br />God bless you brother!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709835494925654060noreply@blogger.com
