(okay, you didn't ask US, but I'd like to offer- or "confess"- something)
most days, if not every day, I pack my backpack or little shoulder bag for the day...
and, I come across that little pocket cross- sometimes I am surprised to have "found" it- like I have "forgotten" that I had put it in my bag...
and, for a moment, I hesitate, with anxiety, and try to decide whether or not to take it with me, again, today...
I usually decided to yes, take it with me, "just in case I need it"... (hello?!! who am I kidding? I always need it, but that would mean I would have to... keep trying... keep going through all that... )
so I look at that little cross with anxiety and sadness and confusion, and, maybe... someday...

Year of Faith
Begun on October 11, 2012 (the 50th anniversary of the opening of Vatican Council II) the Year of Faith highlights the New Evangelization, reproposing the gospel message to all peoples. Click on the logo above for more information.
The best place to start is always one of your local Catholic churches. Drop in some Sunday and see what's going on. Then you might speak to the pastor or someone on the parish staff about how they can help you and respond to your questions.
