I have a friend [ non-Catholic] that has proposed a question On which I would like some forum feedback:

“ What do Catholics expect from their faith”.

I have my answer; but, what might be yours?

Thanx in advance.

Hope for eternal life is the beginning and end of our faith.
 
Right now, just getting through each day, Day by Day, as the song goes.
Ultimately, eternal life with Jesus and Mary and all the saints and my deceased loved ones, in heaven.
I’m hoping to see my husband again, my parents, my ex-boyfriend who died, and my best friend from high school who also died. And my grandma.
I’m hoping to meet relatives I never got to know on earth because they died before I was born or when I was a baby.
And meet all the saints who are my friends, and all the souls I pray for, and everybody has unlimited time to spend, can go anyplace just by thinking of it, and see beautiful cities and things, that look like all the cities of the earth but better.
It’s going to be awesome. I just have to get there.

For now, every worthy communion I receive is a little bridge, a little connection with where my dead loved ones are.

Avoiding hell is huge. The thought of it has absolutely terrified me at times. The endless amazing goodness of heaven is nice, but I rarely think of that. The truth is what I really want is to be with my heavenly father who made me and loves me.
 
To help me become a saint through the Churchs’ Sacraments especially the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Penance - and to help me get to heaven.

Eternal Life.

Peace in my heart/Happiness

I have one. Working for the other.

Oh and pain and suffering. Because Jesus did tell us that would be necessary.

I expect to pick up the cross our loving God has so lovingly measured and picked out just for me each and every day. I expect to love Him not just during the blessings, but to also give thanks for the storms in life, and to trust in His infinate wisdom. I know I will fall many times along the way, and I know Who will always have His hand extended out to pick my weary self back up so that I may continue on the path that leads to the Promise Land. And my greatest expectation, to finally lay that cross down at the Holy feet of Jesus and to tell Him thank you, that it was all worth it, all the sweat, the blood, and the tears of life, just to give Him thanks face to face for giving His life to make it all possible!!

Then as Tis said so well up above in her post, to be reunited with those who we love, those who went before us. I especially want to see my daughter I never got to hold. Isn’t the love God puts in our hearts so amazing!!!
 
Just to clarify, do you mean my personal faith journey? or from the Catholic faith as a religion?
