What Catholic means :: essays research papers
''...He will come to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end...... We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.'' We recited these word over and over everytime we go to Mass. Do we really know what it means? Is it just a prayer that we are saying? How can I believe?      The church is a giant mystery will not understand in life. There are ways that help us understand though. We have many examples of the chruch all around us.We have the saints, who were regluar people like us, who tryed their best to follow Christ and his teachings.We have people that are around us, they are the ones that help us in anytime and who try their best to follow.          When I was smaller I didn't care about the Church and what it meant. I just knew i was supposed to worship and that was that. I remeber i used to pray every moring, every night and every time i would eat.I simply believed and ti wa no problem. I never knew what it meant, but now questions are appearing about it. sometimes i tent to wonder if i was expsed to other religons would i still pick being a catholic?Some things i can capture and others just leave me in the dark. Would it reallly be better if no one ever asked questions and just followed like an innocent child?      This could be illusted in parables. The chruch has many parables such as the sheepfold, the vine and the branches, and the leaven. the parables show example of how we have to have faith. For example, in the sheepfold it explains how we are supposed to follow and who do we follow.      The chruch has modles that help us understand the mystery of the Church. They are comunity, hearald, sacrament, institution, and sevant. The Church is united in belief of jesus and his teaching, in Eucharist, in pryer, and in the love of its member for one another.      When i think of Catholic what am I thinking about?
