Visible Stories

This started as a blog about what Catholics believe and why. I am following the outline of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Part 1 begins with the Nicene Creed, which forms the base for almost every Christian tradition. Each part focuses on one line or phrase of the Nicene Creed. In Part 2 I will look at the Celebration of the Christian Mystery, which focuses on the liturgy and the seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. Part 3 will focus on the Life in Christ, while Part 4 will look at prayer.

"Why are we here, Melia?" Ryan yelled, eyes blazing in the California night lights. "Your friend's wife is dying, Ryan, don't you care about that?" "Yeah, I care about that, what I'm wondering is why you do." Melia threw up her hands. "Well, why shouldn't I? You put me in his path!" "I don't think you know what you want, but you need to stay away from Karen DeMarco's dying bedside. It isn't your place, Melia, HIS SIDE isn't your place!" "Stop shaking me!" She screamed defiantly and her arm rose to slap him. Ryan grabbed her hand and forced it behind her back. "You can't run after every guy that comes along, Melia, you can't play with guy's hearts like this. It's wrong. You have to be stopped." ****** But is Ryan the one to stop her from hurtling headlong into a future no one could have predicted? And will Melia let him?
