I received the Sacrament of Baptism when I was at the age of 3 in the year 2000, First Holy Communion at the age of 11 on 25th of May, 2008 and Confirmation at the age of 16 on 12th of May, 2013. I have the desire to be a religious or maybe a priest, that's why I describe myself as a -DiscerningCath-. I'm not sure whether my vocation is for married life, I never thought of it before. Maybe because I grown up seeing nuns, friars and mostly priests!
Anyways, the reasons why I created this blog are,
1. To share my Catholic faith to people regardless of their age, religion and races.
After receiving Confirmation, we were told to evangelize the Catholic faith to others, some will be called to join the Church communities, some would rather stay home than going to the Church(please pray for those people!) and some don't even know how important their roles as youths in the Church! I have joined a Church community before receiving Confirmation, but I have this feeling in my heart that I need to do more than that! So I decided to create this blog!
2. To share my interest towards Catholic traditions, teachings, saints, history etc.
Even though I am a teenager, I am not that type of person that listen to heavy, rock, rap music etc. I don't know why but I am interested with Latin Hymns, Sacred Musics & chants. This doesn't mean that I don't listen to modern musics okay..? I love learning Catholic catechisms, Eastern & Western Catholic church traditions, holy saints, history of the Church and all the stuffs related to it. But I hate History class in school. Period.
3. To promote Traditional Latin Mass, communion on the tongue while kneeling, veiling in the Church, reverence, silence during Mass etc.
I don't refer myself as a 'Traditional Catholic'. I'm a Roman Catholic and that will never ever gonna change in my whole life. I would attend Mass in the Ordinary Form and I'm not against it. But I hate guitars, drums, bands during Mass, clapping of hands, talking during homily, no great silence and many more. I'm grateful that my parish didn't have too much abuses, but when it happened in front of my very own eyes, my mood for the whole day would be miserable and a day of my life will be messed up.
4. To promote holy vocations among the youths and adult Catholics.
We need priests, nuns, friars, missionaries in the world! Maybe you think that you have seen enough of them but the Catholic Church need more people like them! The numbers are decreasing day by day since the Second Vatican Council!(I'm not criticizing the council.)

I have more reasons but it's already past midnight and I'm getting sleepy..hmmm Anyways, I'll keep you guys updated with my next posts! Bye for now!
P.S. : FUN FACT: I can't find a proper and interesting URL for my blog earlier, so I spent more than 2 hours searching for a suitable Latin phrase for my URL blog on the internet. I ended up posting this post past midnight. So perfectionist of me..hahaha :)
Deus Misereatur,
