Faith

Faith is the most important thing in my life. With faith I can do all things even move mountains.
I want to share the beauty of the Catholic Faith with my family  and in particular, to my beloved grandchildren through my words and deeds and from my joy of living this beautiful life God has given me. I want to teach my family and grandchildren the beautiful family traditions and Catholic Church Traditions  of our faith and how sacred it is and that it is the most important thing in our life. I want to impart to my to them how much Jesus loves each and every one of us and how much good comes from loving Jesus and knowing Him. Everything that I do should be rooted in good morals by teaching our family never to give up hope in God, to always be strong through faith in Jesus Christ, and to fix things when they go wrong with faith, hope and love. It is my hope that will make me a good example to my family and show them that when someone, that is God, loves us so much, that we, in turn, can go through anything in this earthly life. I hope to be supportive and kind to my grandchildren when they receive the blessed sacraments like Holy Communion and Confirmation and continue to show them good moral standards with love, patience and understanding. One of my heartfelt wishes is that I will be able to take my precious grandchildren to Eucharistic Adoration to experience the true presence of Jesus and to talk to Him. My most favorite time with my family is when we all go to Sunday Mass together followed by a good breakfast at our home. Being Catholic and Italian has taught me how beautiful it is to nourish our bodies through wonderful Italian Cooking and to nourish our souls with Holy Communion.  This partaking of food at the Lord's Table and at our Family Table unites us as One with each other and One with The Lord. For Jesus said not to seek for bread that perishes but seek for food that lasts unto eternal life. He told us that He is the living Bread that comes from Heaven and that his flesh is food for the life of the world. I firmly believe that the bread and wine at the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, at banquet with my Lord and Savior, is transformed into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. Jesus becomes truly substantially present under the appearance of the Eucharistic elements.This is as the Catholic Church states  the source and summit of our Catholic faith. I am so thankful to God for my Catholic faith in this belief of this Sacrament Most Holy,this Sacrament Divine.
