People quit sexualizing catholicism please. Quit sexualizing nuns please. Quit sexualizing priests, please. Quit, and I can’t even believe I have to say this, sexualizing the mother of God, please.

It’s disgusting. You do not have to like this religion, but please, stop sexualizing it. ESPECIALLY our Sisters and Fathers, both of which practice and are a shining example of modesty and chastity.

I should not have to say this.

Any doubts I may have about god completely melt away because of the smallest things. Today I was so anxious, so terrified, but I kept saying to myself; "God has a plan, and what must come, must come". And eventually I felt such a sense of warmth and peace, like I was being held. And then everything was okay.

Never in my life has anything calmed me so deeply. And never have I felt such a profound sense of peace.

Thank you, Lord❤️

I start school again tomorrow--it's my junior year in college. At the end of last year I was insistent that I wasn't "a devout Catholic or anything, I just thought it was cool". But here we are this year, and I have to go back to my liberal (occasionally anti-Christianity) friends at my liberal arts college and I am proudly Catholic. I'm not ashamed, but I'm curious as to what they might think of me now.

In some ways I'm not at all the same person as I was in May, but I'm still me. I hope they'll still have me.

Was so worried I wouldn't be able to find a sponsor but one of my friends offered to be my Godfather. I cannot believe it, I thought I wouldn't be able to find one, especially before December 3rd (I thought it was before February, not December so I was so stressed). Proof leaving everything up to God works wonders.

I want thank ALL of the lovely people for their kind birthday wishes for me today on my 60th birthday.

I am the luckiest man in the world. I have a wonderful partner in life, my beautiful wife Patricia and three lovely daughters; Elle, Miranda and Madeline.

Today, I am reminded of what Dr. M Scott Peck told me over 30 years ago: At 40, you feel like you can conquer the world and there’s a sense that nothing can stop you.

But at 60 you realize the very real fragility of life and temporariness of it all. A humbling knowledge that there is indeed a time limit for all things and that God’s design though perfect, is precious far beyond its brevity.

Today, I am also reminded of the Hindu story that my friend Bill from Lowell Arkansas told me about a man at his funeral. Looking at the man, “Would this man lying here ask for more riches and Gold from the world? Would this man ask to be more famous and well regarded by others? Would he ask to be taller or look more handsome? No. The only thing this man lying here today would ask for was much simpler…more time.”

If you are reading this now, then you too have time! Use it wisely, use it unwisely too! But USE it. Be IN it. Be aware that you are part of ALL of it and that the separateness you sometimes feel is an illusion. Just as your heart beats without being told, you are as integral to the Sun that fires and the planets that circle it as your heart is a part of you.

For the atheists, God loves you too. The mistake you make is to think the universe is a stupid thing that just bumps into things and expands ignorantly and without reason or intelligence. And that somehow we human beings, with our intelligence is just some kind of ‘freak’ universal accident. To you I say this, if there is such a thing as kindness, empathy, compassion and love…it is because you found it in other people.

And as my dear friend Norm Macdonald once said, “We are part of this universe, indeed a mere fraction of it, so if we have kindness and love, how much more the universe itself.” For if we are capable of love, it is because it is endemic to the universe itself.

To quote Alan Watts, “For we didn’t come ‘in’ to the world, we came ‘out’ of it. We are the universe evolving to the point of consciousness, so that the universe, us, can experience existence and life in all it’s wonder and beauty and glorious exuberance.”

Lastly, as I am a new convert to Catholicism, I offer my apology for my lack of Christ’s forgiveness to my fellow man. I was so angry at the people who shut down schools and indeed the world and who coerced others to do things against their will which hurt many people deeply. I offer my unconditional forgiveness and amnesty.

For how can I stay mad at the famous singer who would not let others in to his Broadway show unless they had an experiential jab. I will never forget how kind he was to me and my friends when he was the musical guest on SNL.

How can I continue to hold a grudge against the actor who shamed people like me but has been such a great example for other actors to never give up and keep fighting for their dreams.

How can I still be mad at the lovely actress that said she could no longer be friends with people like me who didn’t ‘get’ it, knowing how incredibly kind she is with every child she meets.

I am humbled by the example of my mother Pilar and how she was able to forgive the WW2 occupiers of her Philippines who killed both her brothers.

At last it is forgiveness itself that is the gift that we give ourselves because it frees us as The Christ intends for all of us to be free. For His gift of ultimate and unlimited forgiveness is indeed the gift for all humanity.

May God bless you and your families now and forever.

With all my “You can do it” love, Robbie Schneider

Saint Margaret Clitherow 1556 - 1586 Feast Day: March 25 Patronage: businesswomen, converts, martyrs, Catholic Women's League

St. Margaret Clitherow, wife, mother and martyr, was a fearless protector of her faith. She harbored priests in her home during raids in protestant England, and for this, she was condemned to be crushed to death. “The sheriffs have said that I am going to die this coming Friday, and I feel the weakness of my flesh which is troubled at this news, but my spirit rejoices greatly.” She died on Good Friday, March 25th, 1586. Margaret’s last words were “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, have mercy on me!”

Hello, and welcome to my blog! ✝️

Hello! I am a 22 year old woman converting into the Catholic faith, this is my journey!

This blog used to be a vent blog for me, a place to go to when I needed to just get everything out.

Now I'm using it to help strengthen my faith and inspire recovery.

I'm new to this, and still not mentally well. But I am striving to be better everyday, and striving to listen to the Lord and his plan.

Any advice is certainly welcome! 🤗

Santa Teresia Benedicta a Cruce (Edith Stein)

Born and raised Jewish, Edith Stein converted to Catholicism following a period of spiritual dryness. She became a Discalced Carmelite nun, and she adopted the name Teresia Benedicta a Cruce. She was later killed in the gas chambers of Auschwitz for her Jewish heritage.

Iconography: yellow badge; flower crown given to newly cloistered Discalced Carmelite; her book Kreuzeswissenschaft: Studie über Johannes vom Kreuz (The Science of the Cross: A Study of Saint John of the Cross). I also used the image of the scratched gas chamber walls as the background.
