A Theme Quote for the Year...

Most people don't think of their years in the same way that I do. The world sees the year starting on January 1st and the Church starts during the first week in Advent (usually late November or early December). However, I see my year a little different, because of the line of work I am in. Teachers and students would understand. Yes at the ripe old age of 27, I think of life in semesters still. What I would like to say is that I think I have picked a theme quote for the year! (Meaning this next school year) It is from St. Catherine of Siena

Catherine of Siena once said, "If you are what you are meant to be, you will set the world afire." I love this quote, because it points to each of our own unique and personal, but universal call to holiness. It has flooded my own prayer life in recent days and I have found myself coming back to this quote time and time again in the past several weeks.

Catherine of Siena has always been close to me. I pray through her intercession everyday. I first encountered this wonderful saint in college when I read her dialogues with God the Father for a class I was taking. I have also read many of her letters throughout the last several years, as well. So one of my new year's resolutions (remember that my year is just starting) is to make more post on the blogs. (I pray that you might read them and find some sort of enjoyment) I use to write stories and letters to my friends in college, maybe I will get back into that creative habit. I will post more of my "new year's resolutions" as they come, but it is my hope to become what I am meant to be, because there is nothing greater that we can do, but set the whole world afire with the love of Jesus Christ!
