Does religion play an important role in your
life? Why or why not?
For those of you following my blog, you know
religion plays a huge part in my life.
In fact, I try to be in God's hands every minute of the day. I work at praying a couple of times a day,
attend Mass, attend a Bible Study, and volunteer at the church. None of this makes me a good person. None of this makes me special. And God, my father, knows this doesn’t make me
a good Christian. So, why, if being a
“dutiful Christian” doesn’t make me a good person, is religion playing an
important role in my life?
All the things I do center me. Things I learn and things I hear help me to be
a good person. I am reminded to be a
good Samaritan and to help others. I am
reminded to be kind. The world is tough.
People are tough. God is loving. God is kind. I find him in the Eucharist and the
friendships at my activities. These are
some of the reasons religion is a part of my life. Also, without my religion, the ugliness of the
world would penetrate more. God helps it
keep at bay.
