On Monday, we had our SFC MV Exam.
Boy, did I struggle. While I was studying, I struggled the most with the Catechism. I googled “Basics of the Catechism of the Catholic Church,” and I came across this: http://www.beginningcatholic.com/tenets-of-catholicism.html
First of all, during the exam, when it came to the catechism part, I felt like such an idiot. I felt like a failure, and by the end of the exam, I felt so unworthy to be an MV.
Praise God for the gift of sisterhood, that no matter how far you are from each other, the love and support for one another never changes. I was telling a sister who no longer lives in the GTA, about how my exam went and told her how I felt. She said, “Remember that we are called because we are imperfect and He is the one that will make us perfect.” The Holy Spirit was truly working in her, because it gave me more peace and realize that even if I fail, I’m not going to be kicked out of my role as a Mission Volunteer. If anything, it’s the beginning of my journey and I have lots to learn.
The next day, I read the message of the day in Walking with Pope Francis: 30 Days with the Encyclical, The Light of Faith, and it said:
Funny, because when I was going through what I thought I needed to know on the Catechism (link above), I was so fascinated by the Apostle’s creed and how much meaning there is behind each line. Then after reading the message above, it brought peace to my heart again! God is so amazing. He meets us where we are, no matter what state we are in, as long as we believe in Him and have faith in Him.
