Being Catholic isn’t easy. If anyone says it is, they either lied to you… or they aren’t very good Catholics. It’s a daily struggle where we’re called to deny ourselves and our desires in favor of God and His desires for our lives. This can seem burdensome if we don’t truly understand our relationship with Him. If we don’t understand that living our lives a certain way is in service to Him, then all those things we “get to do” for Him seem more like things we “can’t do” or “have to do.” These can seem like crosses to bear, but in reality, the greater crosses come from truly following God… Yikes.
Following God might mean losing some friends or changing your weekend plans. It might mean changing some habits or dating someone else (or no one). And it definitely means refocusing Sundays towards Mass. But isn’t that worth pleasing God?
