A Quinceañera is referred to as a mini boda or a miniature wedding. This celebrates the maturity of the young adult. Since this is a religious celebration it is expected that the young adult will live a life full of honesty and dedication to God. The celebration takes place in a church and then a reception at the…

Introduction I chose to write about the Christian discipline of mentoring because of its importance. Jesus said “Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations,” Mark 28:19 Christian discipling is mentoring people young and old about the gospel and teaching them how to live above reproach. Mentoring is the main way that people of all classes come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ whether it is a pastor doing the mentoring or a ley person. Summarise your original understanding of the…

Love is a very strong emotion, but unlike the beliefs of many, love does not always win. There are sometimes factors in people’s lives that are stronger than love. Louisa Ellis, a character in the short story “A New England Nun” is proof of this. While her fiancé Joe is away trying to make the fortune so that he can come back and marry her, Louisa falls into a particular routine. For fourteen years she follows her own routine. When Joe comes back, she is a changed person. In Mary Wilkins…

After a while I had an experience I can only describe as God talking to me, telling me to live. I started to go to Mass more and try to be the best Catholic I can be to thank him. I deeply love the faith and all of the history behind it. I carry a rosary with me at all times and also pray on it. I am not embarrassed by being a Catholic and support the church entirely. 9. Tell us, why you think you should be selected as a retreat leader? Unlike what I have heard from a lot of my peers, I…

Saving Private Ryan, directed by Steven Spielberg, depicts war, especially World War II, in a brutally honest fashion. The Omaha Beach landing scene is emblematic of this brutal honesty. This roughly thirty-minute excerpt is both an exemplary bit of cinema and a largely faithful re-enactment of an historical event.

Also when teaching the patient, it should be emphasized that medications be taken as directed, that unused medications should be discarded, and that medication should only…
