This work is a compilation of my events in a faith journey that began as I engaged in a so-so Catholic Church practice to a gradual embracing and immersing into daily Mass, and a total renunciation of sin.

Produktbeschreibung
This work is a compilation of my events in a faith journey that began as I engaged in a so-so Catholic Church practice to a gradual embracing and immersing into daily Mass, and a total renunciation of sin. I take the reader from my early youth when nuns taught us the catechism and all the common Catholic prayers to an up-and-down relationship with God during my college years and beyond. However, I also point out that it was not until after a few years of married life that I began attending Mass daily. The catalyst was my wife's devout faith. Once I enhanced my daily spiritual actions, from attending Mass to reciting the rosary and many other prayers, I found my spiritual niche with no small credit to the Holy Spirit. I make no claim whatever to perfection, and I am no saint, but immersing myself in God's will has made me an infinitely stronger believer and person. I do not preach or ask the reader to make a stronger faith commitment, just to accept God and believe that eternal rewards lie at the end of our journey here on Earth. Further, I employ humor and even a few jokes throughout the book. After all, God has a sense of humor. My late wife told me that, saying, "God loves humor. He created you, didn't He?" Yes, and I thank him every day upon awakening for the incredible gifts of life and faith. They are irreplaceable and I am grateful to not only have them, but also to fully embrace him with immense joy and gratitude.
