Guest Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yes, it's the Hour of Mercy... that's obvious. but God isn't your vending machine. He doesn't have to just grant you a wish. As a Catholic, I believe that God knows what's best. Suppose you wish for something that goes entirely against what's best for you? Or better yet, suppose you wished for something that contradicted what someone else wished for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I NEVER SAID HE HAD TO GRANT ME ANYTHING... I've come to the conclusion that nothing really is cool with you that concerns me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I dunno what else to say BUT I am well aware of his place in my life...and the point of all of it was to say "Hey God, this is what I would love to happen to me... I trust you to do what's right." That's exactly what I thought in church today. And you have no idea what I asked for, so you can't exactly call me greedy... or selfish or whatever else you call me. Only I know, and that's all that matters. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think you should say you're "not religious" in one sentence, and then say you're going to ask God for something in the next. And He doesn't have to DO anything. Oh ok.

BonjourMika1990 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Well.... How do I put this? I'm not strictly religious I guess. I call it "spirituality". If it were up to me, I'd call my self a few religions... Asking God for something is prayer...IT's called a petition. So, it's not a bad thing. People do it all the time. People even lament and doubt him in their prayers. He wants to know what we think and feel at all times...even if we are angry. Today in church, I made peace with him. I really did. I asked him for something (one thing) and I told him I trusted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Basically, I just don't like it when people say things that aren't true about the religion. I read an article today in Newsweek about some woman saying that they found Saint bones or something, and how they should be worshipped by the community. Saints aren't worshipped, and I get offended by people putting out that misconception. Yeah i took my catholic friend to see the davinci code baaaad idea yellow sunglasses And there's machine guns and army tanks in it ROFL. My sister bought me DaVinci Code for Christmas about two years ago. Like, not this past Christmas, but the one before that. I haven't watched it in a while, but I probably will one of these days. I saw it in theatres, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonjourMika1990 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Not even subconsciouly though??? Like walking up on stage or something " Oh God...Oh God...please don't make me fall...please don't make me fall" I do it all the time! Mostly though, I pray for people.

Well I don't like it either...but what I said wasn't false. It's a person's actual account I guess you could say. Like the vision of Guadalupe... you know?? I don't believe in worshipping false idols, but I do pray to the saints sometimes...specifically for guidance... Like St. Jude (for hopeless cases) St. Anthony (for lost things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
