The more truth you know, the more you can share it with others and help them find freedom. Actually, the more you know, the more God can share through you. Let the curriculum we have studied this year be the beginning of a new area of faith learning. Get some CDs or books on the Theology of the Body and make the subject your own. Take time to learn about what marriage is so that you can explain it to others when they ask questions. Read the Bible for a few minutes each day. Got questions? The Catechism of the Catholic Church has answers. Open your mind and soul up to a whole new world of truth that will set you free.

God turns his loving gaze on you and sees within you the kernel of the best version of yourself - the saint that he is calling you to be. He loves you more than you can imagine, no matter what you've done in the past. If it's pride, sexual sin, selfishness, addiction, self-hatred, or any other sin that binds you, admit it and let the Lord remove this burden from you in Reconciliation. You are beautiful in his sight. Remember the words of Pope John Paul II: "We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures; we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of his Son." Jesus offers you hope, healing, and a new life of redemption. Say "yes" to his love!
