I’ve seen and heard it all on fb :rolleyes: Alot of teenagers really get sucked up in in this big love game. Just recently one of my ‘friends’ on fb posted on his gf’s wall alot of lovey dovey stuff along with certain hints of marrying her in the future (he is like 15 btw).I kinda wish alot of them would just see past all this buffoonery, as alot of them don’t really know the real source of Love. I’m don’t hesitate to acknowledge God and the Church whenever the opportunity comes but tell me how should I present the TRUE meaning of love with my fellow peers at my school?
 
Wow, your way beyond your years. I mean that in a good way. I am 27 years old now and the mother of 3, but in my youth I was thinking just like your fellow peers. I had no idea what love was. Can I ask you a question? How did your parents raise you? Did you grow up praying alot? Now that I am a Mother I want my children to grow up knowing the truth and not being fooled by the world, I think it must all start with a structured prayer life within the family. Please tell me, how at your age do you know what you know? How did your parents raise you? Did you pray a lot growing up with them, sit down meals? Explain. Thanks

I’m flattered by your answer 😃 I grew up as a trouble maker, and a ‘rebel’ After my beloved Godmother died in 2006 I found my way back to God. I was always Catholic but didn’t take my faith as seriously I should have. Now I’m 17 and I’m living my life and loving God with each day that passes. So basically since I was 13-14 I have been practicing the faith. Confirmed, practicing, and loving my faith (though I struggle 😉 )

I would read “Theology of the Body for Beginners” by Christopher West.

West covers John Paul II’s catechesis by the same name, which taught about the integrated person and the real meaning of love.
