Luce from Anonymous

I recently received a lovely drawing on my Strawpage! I still don't know who the artist is, but if you're reading this, just know that like... over a thousand people saw your drawing and LOVED it.

I'm going to confession and adoration today at my old parish (bracing the rush hour traffic) and then working on some wedding planning with my fiance. I don't have much else to share regarding the faith... I definitely have not been praying as much as I should be, but I do try to pray the rosary sometimes. It used to be something I prayed every night before bed, but I fell out of the habit. There is always a huge difference when my prayer life is good vs bad, so I'm not quite sure why I haven't bothered to discipline myself and get a routine going again.

First Entry -- About Me

I plan to update this page with anything related to the Catholic faith. Here, I can share my thoughts without being berated. So, to start, here's a little about me: I was raised non-religious, although my dad was southern Baptist. My mom grew up with some Catholic family members, but was never religious herself. It's safe to say that religion had no part in my childhood, and I quickly called myself a hardcore atheist by the time I was on the internet. I held this sort of superiority complex and would find Christianity to be the stupidest thing in existence. I quite literally HATED all Christians (what I really hated was Protestantism... lol). I became more agnostic as I started to search for more spiritual meaning in life, but nothing really filled this void in my heart. As I continued to study astrophysics at university, I was still in search of some greater meaning. After a series of events (and a LOT of reading and conversations about philosophy, logic, theology, etc.) I ended up giving Catholicism a chance. I completed RCIA and was baptized and confirmed during the 2024 Easter vigil. TLDR: I'm an atheist to Catholic convert. I might write a full testimony and post it some day, but I'm not really sure how to begin. There's just a lot that I don't really know how to formulate. If I do write one, it'll be posted here so that I can't receive hate comments. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this page, as well as the rest of my website.
