Which way do I go?

| February 4, 2012

Have you ever felt lost?  Maybe you weren’t sure of what to do next or where to go next.  Maybe it felt like you were following a map and you reached the edge of that map with no idea which path you’re supposed to take next to get to your destination.  That’s what I feel [...]

HELLO-O-o-o? ECHO-O-o-o!

| December 12, 2011

Is anyone out there?  It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on this blog, so everyone that has stopped looking has rightfully done so and those that are still here have shown great hope.  I would especially like to thank reader Christian LeBlanc for giving me a much needed kick in the pants to [...]

Hitting a Brick Wall

| July 12, 2010

Spiritually speaking, I feel like I’ve been hitting a brick wall lately.  I feel like the passion is gone.  I feel like I’m talking into dead air.  I feel like there is no one listening or answering.  HELLO-O-O-o-o-o …  See?  Echo.  That’s what prayer has felt like lately.  This must be what they mean by [...]

About the author

My name is Carlos Torres, and for better or for worse, I am a Catechist. As a Catechist, I help supplement the religious education that parents give at home with focused and detailed lessons around Scripture and Tradition as taught by the Church. Now, I have no background in teaching, much less in dealing with a group of tweens and teens who don’t want to be with me, in a classroom, on a weeknight, learning about faith; yet week after week, I and many other Catechists do just that by letting the Holy Spirit guide us in planting those seeds and helping fulfill the Church’s mission to “go and make disciples”.
