Experience with Religion

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another blog. Today, I´m going to tell you about my experience with the religion.

Coming from a catholic parents, I was involved in Catholicism since I was little boy, in fact, my mom taught me to pray when I was five years old. I did the first-communion at eleven years old. Now, I remember how much it helped me during those years when I felt sad for my father´s absent and dealing with some typical teenager’s troubles at the school. To pray helped me to feel much better and get over those moments.

During my years playing in the teenagers division at Colo-Colo football club, I remember that  we used to pray all together before starting a game  no matter to which religion each of us belonged and that action helped us to be less anxious. 

In the last years I have felt much more distance and disappointed from Catholicism due to all cases of abuse to minors by many priests and nuns all over the world. Despite of this, I´m happy to realize that I haven´t lost my faith.

In my opinion, all human beings need something to believe when their lives are through a bad time even if they haven’t a religion to follow.
