Did I Complete 2025's Goals?

-

Somewhat. 

Click here for this year's goals.

  1. I did not finish the Catechism in a Year Podcast.
    1. No excuse. I'm still on Day #34
  2. I got confirmed this year!
    1. Thanks to Ashley, Fr. Antonio, Fr. Beau, and Ms. Anselma, I was.
    2. I chose Fr. Beau as a sponsor earlier this year and after a few weeks the news was that he was reassigned and was leaving Benque. Because of this there were a couple options: I could choose a different sponsor, keep him and while he is away he could find a proxy, or to keep him as my sponsor and ask Fr. Jordan if Fr. Tony could confirm me. I chose to have Fr. Beau and Fr. Tony be there. Fr. Beau asked Fr. Jordan and he agreed to give Fr. Tony Permission to confirm me. I was so excited and I wished I had told more people about it. I am happy the people I care about were there. Ashley, Tessa, and Judson drove all the way from Burrell Boom to be there.

  3. I have not yet found my vocation.
    1. (Click here) Check number 3 for some backstory on what had happened before. 
    2. I am neither a priest or married. Both would take some time for me to get there but I admire that I pushed harder than I ever have in discerning both. A lot of wounds have healed this year, but there is still more to work through. I need your prayers. 
  4. I did not walk across Belize and visit every parish.
  5. I did not get to 200 blogposts.
  6. I did not go to Medjugorje
It's a bit underwhealming seeing most of the list having not been acheived or completed, but I have gone through a lot this year that made goals two and three mostly possible. 

Some time ago I was praying about next year's goals and even walking to daily Mass this morning in Benque I was praying and felt that I need to pray a 54 Day Rosary Novena for a number of things. Most of them I wont share here as they are a little too personal (even though I have been mostly an open book in the past on here). I am looking forward to next year and what it has instore. Thank you for reading this. The blog has evolved into something different but I appreciate you sticking around. Please pray for me. If you need prayers also, feel free to email me and I can add your intentions to my prayers.

Which Patron Saint should I choose?

-

     I never thought the question would be on my mind for so long. Since I had my conversion in Mexico, I felt strongly that I should choose a Saint whose relic I saw in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. St. José Sánchez del Río's toe was in the basilica.  I had watched the movie about his life, and later I read the book about his life and fell deeper in love with his sacrifice. I was determined to have him be my patron Saint. Although, I had never asked for his intercession. Rarely had I ever asked for a Saint's intercession.      Around March 19 of this year, I went to confession. I had confessed a sin I was addicted to, and Fr. Mike had advised me to pray for the intercession of St. Joseph for help with fighting this addiction. I did ask for help after that confession but thought little of it. Looking back at it a few days I had realized I had not fallen into the same sin for some time. That intercession I felt had been the first time I re...

Grotesque

 I slipped. My hands flailed upward as I tried to regain my balance. I looked down at my feet to see that the floor had a shiny liquid on it's surface. I stooped down for a closer look. There I saw that the substance that had made me lose my balance was a dark crimson. My heart sank as I knew what I had slipped on was a pool of blood. It's source I was unaware of.  I felt my face very moist and thought that all the walking had brought up a sweat. I instinctively wiped my brow with my hand and felt more moisture added onto my face. I looked at my had which was cloaked in blood. My breathing got faster and louder. The rusty smell entered my nose as I looked around and saw no one. I wiped my hand on my pants and lifted my shirt to wipe my face. Not able to see much further ahead I kept walking in the dark.  I became more aware of the crunching my feet had on the ground as I paced forward so I began slowing down. A faint noise in the dark came. Indistinguishable and foreign, ...
