My Kairos Experience
When I was little, the religious life never interested me. I thought it was only for older women who were always kind, never sinned and had a lot of time to go to church for 2 hours every Sunday. Yes, I thought it was 2 hours because when I had to go to church, it felt like I wasted half of my day. Now, I have changed my perspective and see my religion as the best thing that’s ever happened to me! The church is for everyone that wants to listen to the work of God.
In 2012 from August to May, every Sunday, I had my First Communion classes. I thought it was going to be terrible because I wasn’t very into it. I was right. I was bullied for a few …show more content…

After that, the rest of the tall guys would get people and help them up, the guy sitting down would pull others up and onto the branch and the guy on the other side would catch. It’s actually much harder than it seems. That was the first challenge of the three day retreat and we accomplished it. Long story short, that weekend made me realize so much more that I never knew before. I was stupid to not realize this before, but God is for everyone. From that moment, I wanted to know more, I had motivation to go to confirmation classes and most importantly, I felt the love of
