Today’s Gospel (July 24, 2025) reminds me of the power of STORIES & TESTIMONIES in our Catholic Faith 💌
Most of the time, we feel unequipped to give glory to God and bring souls to Christ. Personally, I often feel undeserving of Maria and I!
I don’t memorize the Bible and can’t pull out verses on a whim, I don’t have all the theological justifications against our Mama Mary, and know I’d instantly lose an academic debate.
God reminds me though time and again — and is here to remind you too — that being a good & faithful Catholic doesn’t rest on what our brains can understand & retain…
❤️🔥 It’s all about what our hearts can feel and how it responds to the pursuit of Jesus ❤️🔥
In my own journey, I’ve been blessed by the special gift of chosen people, “Apologists”, who know all the facts of the Faith & battle it out in debates…but my reversion happened because of people’s stories of how they’re loved by Mama Mary, St. Joseph, Jesus, God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and all the angels & saints ❤️🔥
✨ I wanted what they had, tested their propositions, and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome — everything was true! My heart has always wanted Jesus and is always being pursued by Love Himself ✨
So Friends, I write you this blog post to encourage you to put your heart on your sleeve 😌 Let it feel, bleed, and beat in anticipation of Love — when you finally know He’s always loved you, allow yourself to be vulnerable. Share your story! 💌 Not for yourself but for another heart that’s longing for Jesus, whether or not he/she knows it 💌
All the facts will come and will easily make sense after the gift of Faith has been received. Don’t worry about it 😉
“…they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal them.” – Mt. 13:15
