I don't mind being labeled as a "protestanised" Catholic, seriously, but I can not do without the Eucharist. I never knew a place so near to our Lord Jesus nearer than seeing Him face to face in the Blessed Sacrament. I never knew any other place that I can hide but the refuge place of Stella Maris Blessed Sacrament. I can't forgo the Eucharistic worship every Sunday during Mass.. Because He's so present there everytime I receive the Body of Christ. It became the source and summit of my christian life since a year ago, when I discovered the healing power of the Eucharist... Yet, at the same time, I can't forgo charismatic worship too. That's when I can sense His Spirit burning in me, alive and active. just like how i feel when I look and receive the Body of Christ.
Why a "protestanised" Catholic? Like what the guy said, many Catholics don't read the bible, let alone quoting them. I read the Word, I cherish the Word and many-a-times, the Word became my guide and strength when I have none left of my own. So as I dwelt in the Word, more and more frequent I started quoting the Word... and hence, earning the recent "endearment" as "Cindy, you're so protestanised oh..." I don't mind, really, because both Eucharistic worship and charismatic worship are equally important to me, because that is where Jesus, who saves me times after times, ministered to me greatly when I was down and out. I know He's the one I can hang on to when all turn their backs on me.
This is me so far, why I'm still a Catholic.
