Prove it

How do you prove who you say you are? 

 I can say I am Catholic but I should prove that acclamation by living out my Catholic faith. 

As a Catholic and as a child of God, I am called to follow Him and to grow closer to Him by sharing and growing in my faith.  

If I do nothing to help protect the unborn and those vulnerable to death, how can I call myself pro-life?

Through prayer, fasting, giving and service, I can do my little part to help the lives of those most vulnerable. 

"The value of life depends not on what you have or what you can do, but on who you are; A child of God made in His image, destined for eternity, put here for a purpose, an identity made the stronger the more it is tested."  Cardinal O'Connor 

When someone doesn't practice what they preach, we question how they identify themselves. 

Why all of these questions? What do we have to prove? 

My answer is that we have to prove who we claim to be. 

In fact, I think we want proof. 

We don't have to prove our worth but we have to prove our love.

How do I show I am kind? 

How do I share that I listen? 

How do I show compassion?

We have to invest our hearts in who and what we claim to be.  

 "Love is a choice, and an important one, because we become what we love." Matthew Kelly 

What is the proof of your love?
