There was a traveler who was in a train. The neighbor asked him: “where do you come from”. He replied: “I dont know !”, and “Where are you going to ?”, “I dont know either !”.Our society navigates in life in such and absurd mood.Religion gives me the bearings. I came from God, I am with God and I am going back to Him. Cheers. 🙂
 
Religion must have a profound effect on every Catholics life.it changes us from selfishnessC to the love of others.We realize the idea of self sacrifice.

I agree with the previous posters. Without religion, one gets lost in this life; lost in their desires and in the objects that make their lives happier or easier. Catholicism puts our physical desires back into perspective. Is happiness in our physical life worth the loss of paradise? God is our leader, or, rather, our shepherd. Without him and the Church he created, I am a sheep without a shepherd; wandering aimlessly without a purpose.

In other, less sappy words. It doesn’t shape my life; It is my life. It is my reason for doing what I do. It is my moral compass pointing me to heaven. All I have to do is follow it, despite how attractive another path might look. Okay, maybe that wasn’t less sappy, but I find this hard to explain.🤷

it is my life
religion is the recognition of God for who he is and worship of him in justice, and that is my life as it should be the life of every Christian. Without religion, the love and desire for union with God, there is no purpose to earthly existence. To my mind the only logical intellectual conclusion for the true atheist is suicide. They don’t as a rule do that, which tells me no matter what they say, they are still searching for the ultimate truth, and will on judgment day recognize it in God.
 
In every way imaginable and even in ways that I have yet to realize.
 
My Catholic faith has quite literally saved my life.

It has changed me in many way from a callous, self-centered introvert to a new person who has neither fear nor shame because I know in my heart of hearts that even if no one else loves, accepts or approves of me, I know God does.

My “imaginary friend” has become my best friend.

For me KNOWLEDGE of God’s intimacy with me as a person has affirmed His Love for me, and allowed me to let God be in charge.

God Bless,
Pat
