Narrative Essay About My Greatest Love

Improved Essays
My Greatest Love Despite being a Catholic since birth, I admit that I lack when it comes to what I know and what it practices. I admit that I don't normally do the practices most Roman Catholics do. Hence, when Tredone professor, Mr. Willard Macaraan, I had no clue to what sort of Chapel Administration I would do.
The supervisor let me choose what I want to do and that is Clerical. I recorded confirmation rites data into a log book, it was difficult because the names should be in Alphabetical order and by date. Luckily, the staff helped me. I also get a chance to face the people and help if all personnel are busy. I helped with filling up the forms & assisting the people. I saw how dedicated the staff is. Inside the Parish Office, you will

I even had an opportunity to the Parish Priest and he asked me about the Church Involvement that I am in. He told me that being a church server is not just about being physically in the church doing the things that are assigned to you. Being a genuine server is valuing what God has given you and serving Him regardless of the fact that you are not in church. However, that is not the highlight of my journey. It was what the supervisor asked me to do.
Besides the church service that I had to do, the supervisor asked me to attend the 7am mass. I always go to the church with my family. But instead of listening to what the priest has to say, we end up chatting with one another. My experience going to mass alone for the past weeks is more solemn. Everything was peaceful and serene. That was actually the first time that I listened to the priest’s homily Each gospel that I listened to, appears as though it was pointed towards my faith and my practices and the gospel

They made me see how important it is to bring it all up to Him. They made me realize that serving others is a way of serving Him and they made me realize that the greatest relationship I could have with is Him. It is not about working in the church that matters. It is about being committed in serving Him by through serving the others. They actually made me want to serve every Sunday in the Parish Office. I would also like to thank my Tredone professor, Mr. Willard Macaraan for giving us this kind of activity. The 10 hours that I spent inside that church is just a small fraction of my whole life. I finally heard my Lord and I am praying not to be deaf again from His voice. I would certainly attend more worship gatherings like Sunday Mass. It is important to serve my Greatest Love than anybody

    My overall goal in life is to wake up every morning and not dread going to work. I want to be able to face a new challenge, help others, and make a difference no matter how big or small. I want to take pride into what I do and not just think of my job as an action to survive. I believe it is difficult to do so in a scene where a good handful of people do not give you the full respect deserved. In the article “Congregation Gone Wild”, G. Jeffrey MacDonald claims that Congregations have shifted their way of approaching their audience in order to “sooth” churchgoers and keep them on their side.…

    This summer, I worked as a JCIT at the BSAFE summer program. BSAFE is a summer program for kids from kindergarten to 5th grade, where they are taught school subjects and go on a field trip every day. A JCIT is a junior counselor-in-training, so my job was to assist the leader with the kids and clean and prepare activities for them. JCITs are closer in age to the kids, so they usually confided in us with their questions and concerns. Being a JCIT helped me gain a lot of patience and allowed me to learn to help with things even when I'm not directly asked to do so.…

    I continued to look for a place to serve more in and help more people but I could not find anything that really interested me. When he asked me to help him along with a few others to grow the student ministry I was ecstatic. He had told us that we were the seven like there were the twelve. I think this is my greatest accomplishment as a leader because even though I was a young student he saw a leader unlike many adults that normally think kids should be put to smaller tasks.…

    I had similar experience, which was explained in No.1, on the edge of entering. I was church shopping when I came to the USA 20 years ago. I went to almost every church in the town. I didn’t feel welcomed, most churches wanted to convert me to Christianity in spite of telling them I am a Christian. For most of them since I am from India I am a Hindu and I need to be converted to Christianity.…

    Service is something that is near and dear to my heart, and this trip was no exception. My FYS group and I went to a local non for profit Atlas (Attaining Truth, Love, And Self-control) to do projects they needed done. This organization works with troubled people who need a mentor or a shoulder to lean on. Because they are a non for profit and are very busy, the people on pay roll didn’t have the time to do yard work or extra jobs around the building.…

    As an ignorant young adult, I wasn’t very outgoing; I was always the shy student, the one who always got bullied and I wouldn’t really talk to anyone. When I turned fourteen, my parents informed me I was to attend confirmation classes. I wasn’t exactly enthused at the new that I would attend it for two years. To add to these, wonderful news; my older brother was going with me too. Goody.…

    Growing up, I was always surrounded by family and friends at all times. There was nothing to worry about but continue to be happy and live my life as it was going. As I began growing up, I got to understand more why people were put in your life and why you experienced different moments with different people. From this, I was starting to realize what life really is about. Being in a two-year relationship, then breaking up unpredictably taught me how to become independent of my own self, take care of myself, and have self-love before I want to take care of others and have a love for others.…

I am glad it cannot happen twice having to feel “butterflies” through your stomach, well a burden I will say.
