When I came back to the Catholic faith as an adult, I devoured the catechism, I attended prayer meetings and retreats, and I studied the Word of God. I read the catechism like its words held a set of keys to the kingdom, but there was so much to process, so much information, so much to understand. Since I tend to think in music and poetry, I wrote the nuggets of my understanding into poetry. The reflections were my way to process the information. Rewriting in shortened, succinct prose was my way of embracing my newfound faith. This book includes those reflections, or poetry, on Part One of the Second Edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, or what I like to refer to as the Green Catechism, since the book is green. I hope you enjoy the writings and find blessings within them. If you are new to your Catholic faith, I hope these reflections help you go deeper into your faith, as they did for me.
It all began with
Our Belief
Our response
To God
We begin our search
With our desire
For God
Written
In our hearts
In God
We live
We move
We have our being
Still at times
We forget
We overlook
We even reject
Our God
We flee his call
Which never ends
