5 things I do to be consistent in practicing my Catholic faith

“Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” - Matthew 21:9

He entered not on a war horse, but on a donkey, not to conquer nations, but to conquer hearts. The King of Kings chose humility over spectacle, peace over power, and sacrifice over glory. And still, the people cried out “Hosanna,” recognizing, even if only for a moment, that salvation was standing right in front of them.

Palm Sunday is not just a celebration, it is a call to examine the kind of King we follow. Do we welcome Him only when it is easy, when the crowds are cheering and the path is lined with palms? Or do we remain with Him when the road leads to the cross?

The same voices that praised Him would soon fall silent, yet Christ continued forward, unwavering in His mission. He did not turn back, because love does not retreat. It presses on, even when it knows the cost.

So today, receive Him not just with words, but with your life. Lay down not only palms, but your pride, your distractions, and your will.

Hosanna in the highest - not just for a moment, but for every step that leads you closer to Him.

“Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” - Matthew 14:27

The sea has always been a symbol of chaos, uncertainty, and fear. The waves rise, the wind roars, and the small boat of man seems helpless against the power of the storm. Yet in the midst of the raging waters, Christ walks calmly across the sea, reminding us that no storm exists beyond His authority.

When Peter stepped out of the boat, he did something that seemed impossible. For a moment he walked upon the water, not because of his own strength, but because his eyes were fixed upon Christ. Only when fear entered his heart and his gaze shifted to the storm did he begin to sink.

This is the lesson for every soul. The storms of life will come. Doubt, suffering, uncertainty, and fear will crash against us like waves against a fragile vessel. But when we keep our eyes fixed on Christ, the chaos of the world loses its power over us.

Even when our faith falters, Christ does not abandon us. The same hand that called Peter onto the water reached down to lift him when he began to sink.

And that same hand is always extended toward us.

Through every storm, Christ is still standing upon the waves.

Peter explained what happens at baptism when he said, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). But he did not restrict this teaching to adults. He added, “For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him” (2:39, emphasis added).

The historic Christian Church has always held that Christ’s law applies to infants as well as adults, for Jesus said that no one can enter heaven unless he has been born again of water and the Holy Spirit (John 3:5). His words can be taken to apply to anyone capable of belonging to his kingdom. He asserted such even for children: “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 19:14).

Furthermore, Paul notes that baptism has replaced circumcision (Col. 2:11–12). In that passage, he refers to baptism as “the circumcision of Christ” and “the circumcision made without hands.” Of course, usually only infants were circumcised under the Old Law; circumcision of adults was rare, since there were few converts to Judaism. If Paul meant to exclude infants, he would not have chosen circumcision as a parallel for baptism.
