[Citizen Soldier]

I will be confirmed this Easter vigil. I am so happy to be able to take communion with others and practice as a Catholic. I am in a profession of faith class right now and it has be wonderful. I walked up a "mountain" here and came down a "hill" doing the stations of the cross at a local convent in town here. Very inspiring and contemplative at the same time. Someone left a tube of neosporin at the top (for blisters?)

I go to the Cenacle Chapel every week and last time I went I was reading a brochure on praying there and it called Christ "O wealth of the poor" and it really stuck with me. No matter what we lose or have desire for He is all we need, right?

Welcome home. What a great testimony. This sounds like you trekked up an actual hill. Is it close to where you live? Or were you on a pilgrimage.

I know that our local monastery/seminary Mount Angel has a Way of the Cross up the hill. It’s beautiful.

I couldn’t use the neosporin, however. I’m allergic to neomyacin and break out from it.
