I am 63 years old from the philippines and i love my religion as a Cathoic and love to hear that can increase in my faith and strengthen me, save from the fires of hell and lead me to the path of salvation...

A friend finally asked me when looking at my crucifix, “Don’t you know Jesus came down off that cross?” I responded with, “yes, Catholics wear it as a reminder of the suffering He did for us.” She said, “I never thought of it like that.” It opened her mind. I’m so glad when people ask questions.

When I was young I was taught by Nuns who I loved.I wanted to be one but all Catholic girls do.Our Church was about 20 steps away from school.I went into church 3 times a day I went to Benediction every Tuesday or Thursday I would have considered myself as a good Catholic.I found the Church a wonderful and peaceful place to be.Then we moved house and the church seemed a million miles away so I stopped going every day. I did go intermittently until I was in my teens and met my husband who is not a Catholic but a Protestant.
I am 74 and my husband who is 75 remain married even though our families said it wouldn’t work at 16 and 17 !”
Our children are Catholic and my Grandchildren are too..
I have Terminal Cancer and I would like you all to remember me in your prayers.
I believe God is watching over me I am staying positive.I’m sure God only gives us enough to carry.

Jesus had been beaten prior to his being forced to carry his cross. He was beaten so severely that he could not carry the cross without assistance. His beating was far greater than most. That he carried the cross at all, that he did not die during his beating 😔. My God how can any of us ever sin knowing what Jesus suffered for us...

A 104 year old woman in Lima Peru, my ex grandmother in law, sent me a plastic rosary that was a sacrafice for her to do based on her income. I cherish it and continue to use it as I go to sleep. Don't knock the plastic rosary...kinda like the widow's mite in this case. Cheers from H-Town Texas.
