Why am I Catholic?
I really liked this video and think that it explains a lot about my faith. The video was made by Katerina Mare. It was made for a Confirmation Retreat to accompany a "Why am I Catholic?" talk. The slideshow gives six reasons for being Catholic: 1) the Eucharist, 2) the Church, 3) the Sacraments, 4) Mary, 5) Marriage (actual and spiritual), and 6) Communion of Saints.
Eventually, as time allows, I hope to do a post on each of these reasons.
The video is filled with images and quotes from saints, popes, and theologians associated with each point. This can be a good resource for talks, RCIA, youth groups, adult study groups and more!
The song for the video, which I also really liked is "Jesus Christ You are my Life," the theme song from the 2005 World Youth Day. The song was composed by Marco Frisina, an Italian from Rome. He wrote the Italian refrain, and a verse for Spanish, Italian, and French soloists. Marco's brother wrote the English refrain. Bro. Rufino Zaragoza, is a co-composer and translator of the song. https://youtu.be/2QliM7ApyiA
