Hannah Herzog Reflection

My faith journey at Mary Queen of Peace has made me closer to my classmates, family members, and Jesus Christ who gave his own life for us. In have made two of the sacraments and preparing for the final Sacrament of Initiation, Confirmation. I am excited to be enlightened by the power of jesus like the disciples on Pentecost. After my First Communion I would count which Communion I was at, upsetting my

Faith in Christ has given me a unique life filled with optimism and purpose. From a young age, I have been raised in a home where I was taught about the love of Christ. Not only at home did I learn about Christ, but at school and at church. Thus, my life has been filled with experiences that have amplified my faith. For example, when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, I found that my relationship with Christ grew. Through all of the difficult circumstances that I have faced, faith in Christ has given me the encouragement that I need to persevere through any situation. Additionally, faith has influenced my decision making, which is why I strive to make all my decisions and live my life according to faith-based principles. This means

Getting to know my faith more has really changed my life, Before I started going back to church my life was falling apart but while I was learning about the Holy Spirit, God, Jesus Christ made me lead to the right direction. My Faith means a lot to me now that I am able to understand every detail about the

In recent years, God has become a very important part of my life. I am determined to learn more about God and look forward to seeing what he has in store for me and my family. At one time God was not a big part of my life, I did not attend church regularly or feel close to him. I have always believed in God and Jesus Christ as our savior, but did not actively seek a closer relationship with him. I feel that much of that changed when I accepted my current job in a church based preschool program. After taking the position in the preschool, I was then offered a position in the church’s nursery on Sunday mornings. I accepted this position also and my son and I started attending Church every Sunday. In the time since, my husband, myself, and our children have all joined the Church, been baptized, and become very active in our Church. I feel that this was God’s plan for us all along. I feel that God guides our decisions each and everyday, and I now use prayer to seek his guidance for our lives.

She is someone I feel I could look up to and use her journey to help me. I am going to enjoy meeting with her more over the school year, as I may need her to answer more questions along my journey. She is an inspiration to me, because even when obstacles got in the way of her fulfilling her career she took hold of the situation and kept moving forward. I do not know anyone else who would have kept moving forward. I believe she can teach me a lot, because she has seen all the things that I have to look forward to, the good and the

Christianity believes that a God exists and that God is the creator of the universe

My name Mckayla Guerra and today I am going to tell you about myself. I’m really shy until i get to know you and then I am more opened. I love to read I have read over 6 books this year. I hate when people call me a book nerd because I not. During my childhood i lived out in the country and I was an outdoor kind of person, I never liked to be in the house. Until I moved in 7th grade more into town and now i hate being outside because there’s nothing to do. Sports is what i do like softball and track. I also love little kids and enjoy working with them and helping them out.

Incipiently, my understanding of the faith has grown immensely. Coming to saint joachim school has let me Receive two of the seven sacraments. It also gave me the opportunity to altar serve and or lector. However my faith was at its peak with our 5th grade teacher sister ana rosa. Not only was she a nun but the most loving teacher i have ever had. Always taking us to the convent was and will be my most favorite part of religion.

I began to accompany my mom when she went to pray for family friends, and also when she would go volunteer at events that took place at our church. I met different people from diverse backgrounds who had gone through different tragedies. Through prayers people who had lost a loved a one, or lost hope in bad situation in life had gained new hope once again. It was a beautiful thing to see others experience. We were all so different, but yet so similar when it came to our faith in God. That same faith has helped maintain a positive mentality, and always look towards the bright side in difficult situations within my communities. That faith has become an important part of who I am today. It has helped me immerse myself into trying new things such as helping people and becoming an involved member within my

I actually didn't know there is a poetry center in the Humanities building before the Author Reading. This was my first time attend this type event and I was impressed by the entire setup, including the light refreshments. Four different authors presented their pieces on that night and each of them revealed his or her personal insights in various ways. Two of the writers I remembered the most were Sarah Azzara and Mira Dougherty-Johnson. The way of their reading portrayed a very picture to all the listeners as well as helped us see their individual connections to the story. During Ms. Sarah’s reading, her imagination gave the readers the “experiences” of how baby live in mother’s womb to the time of the birth. Even though it was a fiction piece, her choices of words made the entire writing so vivid to me.

I am a christian and always have been since i accepted christ at the age of 12 i have been able too do many things couse of my faith not only in god but i have found faith in myself through him. i now am able to live day to day and think at the end of each day thank you god for lettting me mak e it to this spot or thank you for giving me the things i have today. so i think no matter who you are or even if you aer like me you would be able to see that any thing is possible with faith, and that is how Faith has worked in my

Everyone has their own personal faith story. Personally, I haven't had the wide awakening of my faith or something big to encourage my faith more than it is. Just as most kids in high school I struggle with keeping my faith my number one priority. For example, I struggle with doing things in likeness of God. Everyone, not just high school kids, we struggle with temptations into drugs, alcohol, lying, lust and many more things. This is something that I need my faith the most.

Christianity is a faith based on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Fisher, 1991) Christianity is a one God religion as presented in the New Testament. Today, Christianity and the church are culturally diverse, even in the aspects of race. It is even said that Sunday mornings is the most segregated time in the world. There is one central belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, all Christians can come to this conclusion. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and that we are all under the judgment of God because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Other religions may often depict that it is only necessary to do some good when it comes to God in order to

Faith defines me: Since kindergarten I have always attended a catholic school. Going to a catholic high school influenced my decision to choose to DeSales to further my education. One of my extra electives I took at DeSales was Introduction to the Devout Life, so I could learn about the teachings of our school’s namesake. I also value praying which is something I do every night before bed, thanking God for three things that I was thankful for in my day and ask God to help me improve on one thing for the following day.

My mom once told me when I was young and ignorant, “Faith is the foundation of a beautiful friendship with the one person who will always remain by your side”. These words were expressed even more profoundly every Sunday in the echoing corridors of a small church by a priest I had yet to know or even care about. Preaching with his perplexing words in which I could only muster barely a fourth of my full attention span listening to. Thus, the term faith did not exactly resonate with me until many years later. My early years were filled with the teachings of the bible in Sunday school and later on as well in middle school during Friday night sessions. Unfortunately, my mom was an extremely strong enforcer of our faith for she was also raised Catholic from birth, but my dad on the other hand has a more scientific approach to how the world came to be. The years I spent in Sunday school blurred into an everlasting line of bleak nothingness just a ticking clock waiting till an end. Even today I do not remember anything that occurred within those taxing sixty minuets of constant bible studies it’s as though I lost the key to the inner workings of my childhood. Nonetheless, there have always been unbelievably great role models in my faith such as my mom, youth ministers, and friends who encourage me to be open to my faith. However, it’s always been my own restrictions that prevent me from furthering my relationship with God. So when my sister suffered her first severe
