As part of the Catholic Church, certain traditions are passed on from generations, taught to all ages. Stated by Tony Brandolino in Christ is Our Hope, "The willingness to give, to share, to contribute: That's what sets the miraculous power of Christian stewardship in motion...Stewardship involves giving, and giving involves faith." This supports the traditions and guidelines of the act of service within Catholicism. I have been taught the ability to recognize the blessings given to me through the acts of God, and can translate it to being able to give to others without such wonderful blessings. By giving my service, I feel as though I am, in a sense, thanking God for what he has given me and showing Him my gratitude. 


As I have advanced through life, I have come to the conclusion that God loves everyone, as we are His children. Even though sometimes it may seem as though He is unfair, or seems to have forgotten about us, He never has. God is with each and everyon person, through all the obstacles of life. We may receive gifts from Him in the strangest of places, but the only way we can learn in life is by being able to find these blessings. There is always going to be someone, somewhere who is suffering, but as Catholics it is our job to provide assistance. It is God's hope that we can trust and rely on one another to maneuver through paths of darkness to better and more hopeful places.


This is an except from the service learning reflection of one of our confirmandi.
