Why I Believe: Emily Kate Marticello

When reflecting on why I believe, in God, in my faith, or in my prayer, a major factor is always my ability to just 鈥渂e鈥� and still God loves me. My busy life does not make God love me, in fact, busy-ness in my life can serve as a distraction from the bigger underlying movements within my faith.

Why I Believe: Kimberly Johnson

My sister tried to put me in catechism classes between the 6th and 7th grade, but I resisted going. When I was a bit older, both of my nieces went to a Lutheran school that required them to attend Mass on Sundays. I would be the one to take them every Sunday. It was during this time that I started to feel a tug at my heart every time I brought my nieces to church.

We All Feel Vulnerable

This probably isn鈥檛 the right time for Catholics to talk about feeling vulnerable. We feel vulnerable now for all the wrong reasons. There are virtues of vulnerability (the way we respond with tenderness and openness to each other), but now isn鈥檛 the right time to talk about that, either.

Why I Believe: Hadley Adair

Growing up, I attended Mass and Sunday School every week because 鈥渢hat鈥檚 just what Catholics do鈥�, yet I never really understood why. I said prayers, sang hymns, and listened to the teachings of the Church with a blind and child-like faith simply because I didn鈥檛 know any different. As I became older, I began to search for more answers.

Why I Believe: Wesley Wolfe

I believe in God because I see him. I see God in the actions of my parents, who raised seven children with the Catholic faith. A decade as an altar server allowed me many quiet moments where I saw God upon the altar, in the church, and over my head. I see God in church functions and activities. Why would fellow Catholics and Christians concern themselves greatly with the well-being of others? I watch God in these people who take prayer to action. I join them in witnessing, and I believe.

Why I Believe: Marcus Mescher

Wonder and awe are why I believe in God. I remember being awed by the Eucharist when preparing for the Sacrament in second grade. I was amazed that Jesus wanted to be broken and shared, to be received by everyone in every time and place 鈥� even a little seven-year-old like me.

Why I Believe: Lindsay Schlegel

I believe because other people prayed for me when I couldn鈥檛 pray for myself. In 2012, I lost a child to miscarriage. I wasn鈥檛 angry with God; I didn鈥檛 fall away from my faith. But I鈥檝e never been so quiet, so at a loss for words as when I tried to pray. I found I could be still. I could accept that God is my Lord and that this pain was somehow part of His plan.

Miracle

It鈥檚 a question I鈥檝e heard all my life 鈥� one that I can recall asking others at a very young age, and one that I鈥檝e been asked in turn at a considerably older age. The question is complicated, as even youngsters understand. What, first of all, do you mean by the term itself 鈥� 鈥渕iracle鈥�?
