<p>And congratulations on your upcoming Confirmation. That is a critical Sacrament of the Church that says, basically, you are confirming the baptismal promises made by others for you as an infant. Its an adult commitment to the Faith. Sadly many kids go through it and then drift away, as if their promise was meaningless. Which is where a Catholic University can be so beneficial and helpful to you. Exploring your faith journey with you, your fears and doubts (which everyone has), your joys and questions. A very, very wise octogenarian OFM monk I know (who is one of the finest Roman Catholic Priests I have EVER known in my many years of life), once told me, “it is your doubt which makes you such a better Catholic!” What a powerful statement. I return to it each time I am shattered by life’s ugly news. Not that you have to go to a Catholic college to do that, or if you do that you must study Catholicism. But its there for the taking and its healthy to explore it and reaffirm your spirituality and relationship with Almighty God. Just my two cents. Good luck.</p>
