Why not use “gratitude” as the theme?
When we feel grateful for life, love, family, nature, friendships, etc. isn’t it true that ALL gratitude ultimately is directed (owed) to God who gave us ALL?
I feel sad for those short-sighted people who think everything is uncaused, uncreated, unintended, accidental and undeserving of gratitude.

Hi Becky,
Well, from Birth to Now for me would be a long time 62 1/2 years, so it would be a large book, I suppose.
For you it will hopefully be shorter.
I find outlines help a lot to focus my thinking when I write things.
For instance, I would put section titles based on Time
I. Birth (when, where, maybe who your parents are)
(write in some detail people have told you about your birth)
II. Baptism (if you were baptized as a baby, when, where)
This is when you became a Catholic - so say something about what you like about being Catholic, or about your sponsors (God Parents)
III. When did you start learning about being Catholic
(sunday school or confirmation class or do you remember going to Mass as a young girl - some details about what your learned about Jesus, about your Father in heaven, about the Holy Spirit, about Mass…When was your first Communion?
IV. If you are Confirmed, tell about that - if you remember the Bishop, what he said, or the promises you made - what did it feel like being an adult in the Church, even if you were young
V. I don’t know how old you are - if older, perhaps you are married or in college, have Catholic friends, whatever, do a section or paragraph about any of these things
If you write about 4 or 5 sentences (more or less) about each section, you will be telling the story of what Jesus and the Church have done in your life and what they mean to you.
That is what came to mind when I read your question. All the best, it should be a great retreat. Enjoy it, every bit of it.

Hi beckie,
Since you seem to be having difficulty with this assignment, why don’t you just ask the person about it, who gave it to you to do?

Beckie: I would speak to the person or group about your difficulty giving or writing a “witness”
What made you interested in converting, and joining RCIA. You can talk about that or write it. Could you give more detail. Why did they pick you? They must have thought you have something to write about, are others doing the same thing?

Beckie: I understand you have to go from your birth to present. What from your birth to present did you learn about Christ, about the Catholic Church, from your parents, from your friends? Did you learn about Jesus from the Bible before attending RCIA ? What attracted you to the Church, and RCIA, did you have a special experience? Did some friend influenced you to learn more about the Church? Did the kindness of some Catholic influenced you? Did someone invite you into the Church? Think about it, did it start in childhood, or later, and how did it start? Put it your own words the experience or experiences that led you to the Church Did you volunteer to give a witness to the community? If you did, or didn’t pray for guidance , the Holy Spirit works through people, go to the person that you have confidence in about knowing the Faith, or led you into it. You will need help in spelling words, and writing, a good friend can help, and it’s O.K to get help, we all do at some time. God bless you, and inspire you, just do your best.
