When I got confirmed senior year of high school, I was on fire for the Lord. The following two years I began to back slide in my faith. When I transferred to UTSA, I got plugged into a non-denominational Christian community and I began to pray and study with them. Eventually I went to Ash Wednesday Mass, and I realized how sacred and true the Catholic faith is. That Lent skyrocketed my faith in a way nobody saw coming. In nine months, I went from believing I was called to marriage to possibly entering seminary in the following year.
