The first being that I use the Bible as my moral compass per se. By using the common term what would Jesus do, I can establish what decisions I should make concerning my actions. Another way by which I live out the Christian worldview beliefs is that I try to show God through my actions and the way that I present myself to others, meaning that when I am out in public, I don’t curse and use horrid language, I try to act as a representation of God and his love for others.

The faith I have toward my god is the most important part.…

Growing up without a set religion can confuse a person quite a bit. There are many questions that are left unanswered. People grow up without religion for many different reasons, some being that they do not have transportation to a church, or that they do not live somewhere that has a church nearby, or maybe that they are just not interested in being religious at all.…

There has not been just one priest or sister in my life that has affected me more than another, but many have impacted my life over the years. Since I started school at St. Dominic High School last year, I feel I now have a better understanding of the catholic faith and its real meaning. Before, I went to a mass at St. Dominic, I never fully understood everything in mass or what it meant. I would always just go through the motions and not really understand what I was doing. I have learned through the masses at school what I am doing during church and this has helped me even outside of school.…
