... that is what makes us human.
Father LaMorte spoke those words to me and a small group of companions this past week. It's true: all of us have a past. A past that defines us, creates us, helps explain us. It guides our present as well as our future.
Our stories come from a plethora of backgrounds and explain how we got where we are in a multitude of categories: economical, social, familial, religious, the list goes on. It is the last category that we were challenged to think on and explain.
What major event in your life helped you define yourself as Catholic? How did you find out the answers to the Big questions in life and religion? What made you so sure? Answering these questions is a thrilling exercise and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to understand themselves better. The answers are all within you, sometimes it just takes someone else to point them out.
