School

[seanom]

Hello I’m a 15 year old student and I need your opinion on something. Okay so I really hate school but I make myself go anyway, can offering it up be considered a penance and also Jesus said “take up your cross”, can this be considered a cross and how can I best embrace it?? Also is this God’s will for me?? Thankyou for any advice

I do not know if this is God’s will for you, but as Catholics we are taught to 'Offer it up" meaning our sufferings and trials, etc. I think going to school even though you hate it and offering it up would be a wonderful penance, always unite it to the Passion of Christ and for a specific intention or for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. May God bless you!

Yeah. You could totally offer up going to school. It’s a total drag sometimes, and the workload is quite a burden indeed. Humbly offering up the burden and giving your best effort will bear fruit in this world and the next, in my opinion.

By all means, if you are currently not much enjoying school, you can ask GOD to count it toward your penance.

Remember, though, when HS is over for you, you are gonna remember it as heap good fun! Everybody does. So find a way to start having it!!!
