Is there such thing as a religion shock? Well if there's none, then I guess I understand the term as something synonymous to culture shock. It's my mother's birthday tomorrow and she requested if we could go and worship at her church (she's a Protestant) in West Ave, QC. No problem with me really. It's not as if I have issues with other religions.
I respect their beliefs, hoping that they would do the same when it comes to mine. I do admit that I am not totally religious, and I there are things that I have yet to learn. But hey, I am giving enough effort to learn and have a clear understanding of Catholicism. I have finally come to a realization that I must NOT just accept whatever information is given to me. Hopefully, with my curiosity and urge to educate myself, I would finally able to defend my beliefs and explain why I believe in it.
Thank you to Fr. Dacanay, at least now I know that it's not so much on which vocation a person chooses, it's more on how faithful that person fulfills the responsibilities associated with that response.

Forgive me for writing a blog of this sort. Just wanted to share the experience. It was fun songing sings and hearing the band play.
