Personal Narrative: My First Communion

Improved Essays
From the age of four to seventeen I attended a Catholic school. At the start of Pre-K I was introduced to Jesus Christ. Maybe I don’t fully remember the times I spent praying when I was four and in Pre-K but I’m positive from what I’ve seen throughout the years each little kid was taught a prayer at a young age. Though at that time I was young and introduced to my faith through prayer at even at a younger age I was welcomed into my Catholic faith. Getting baptized when I was just a baby was the beginning of what would lead my belief in Jesus Christ. Baptism was a gateway into my faith.

At my First Communion, I was welcomed to receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Each mass that I attended I received the body and blood of Christ, it was one the most sacred parts of the mass as we are worshiping Jesus Christ as he saved us from sin. During mass, they would always read a passage from the Bible. Each passage that was read I would attentively listen to what was being said. The stories that would be told through the Bible were eye opening and would make me wonder about how life was back then at the time when Bible was being written. At school they would always tell us that those who experienced the presence of Jesus Christ wrote the stories in the Bible, the stories in the New Testament. Jesus Christ wanted to spread his message, and through the stories I listened to during the homilies I came to form strong belief of Jesus Christ. Today, what I believe in Jesus Christ is that he is a man who loves everyone and would do anything for anyone. No matter what someone has done in their life, Jesus Christ I is willing to forgive them and love them unconditionally. I also believe that Jesus is a man who listens to anyone and through prayer we are able to speak with him so he can hear

    The Roman Catholic Church has been a second home for me and the community has become family. I grew up learning and building a love for the morality, compassion, teachings, discipline, support and safety that comes with being a part of the Catholic community and attending Catholic school.
