Al-Hadith:
The one who performs worship without knowledge is like a donkey circling around a mill. (Hilya-tul-Aulia, vol. 5, pg. 249, Hadis 7005)
I am a cradle-born Catholic whose grandparents immigrated to the USA from Italy, Poland, and Ukraine. My paternal grandfather died before I was born, and I never gained any knowledge about his faith, although my father was very active in the Catholic Church and attended mass faithfully along with my mother. My paternal grandmother took her Catholic faith to an extreme, often ignoring the people around her. My maternal grandparents did not attend Mass as I was growing up, although their eight children received the seven sacraments. I don't know why they didn't actively worship.
Since I viewed my faith through the eyes of a child, I didn't know how to defend it when I was seriously challenged during my college years by agnostics, atheists, and non-Catholic Christians. I turned 21 at the end of the 1960's and listened to the worldly view that told me to drop out of anything organized and established; it told me to make love, not war; it was a time of questioning and protesting. From age 21 to age 30, I turned my back on God. I no longer worshiped or prayed. I thought I was a "good" person, but I totally ignored God. I am so grateful to God that I survived that time.
I married in my late twenties and I had our first child by age 30. It was the miracle of bringing other souls into the world, and moving to a rural area that brought me back to God, and to the fullness of the Catholic faith. My husband was Christian, but not Catholic. Since we had made the decision to baptize our two children, we started attending Mass on a semi-regular basis. When we moved to rural Georgia and attended a small Catholic church, we no longer were just "Sunday Catholics" -- but were invited to take part in many activities as part of the "parish community."
My husband began to believe in the real presence of Christ in the consecrated bread and wine. He longed to receive Christ in the Eucharist, and after 3 years participating in the RCIA program, he made the decision to embrace the Catholic faith fully. It made a very significant difference in our marriage, and drew us closer in a way we had never been before.
I eventually took on the position of Director of Religious Education at our church. I knew so little of the faith even though I had received all the sacraments and attended catechism classes through the 6th grade. But as I mentioned before, I had the faith of a child even though I was an adult. I think that's what happens with so many fallen-away Catholics. They leave their faith without knowing the fullness of their faith. As they turn their backs on God, it becomes so natural to listen to what the world is teaching at the moment, and the world's message is not God's message. We search for what we think will give us fulfillment and happiness, but we are following our will, not God's will. We put the natural before or in place of the supernatural.
Love is what we need, and the purest and truest of all love is the supernatural love of God. Since God is perfect love, He knows how to love us by giving us free will, knowing that the gift of free will may turn us away from Him. We are not His slaves, but we are his adopted children through the most perfect sacrifice of His Son. I can not judge another if they don't choose God and rather believe in the natural. I can not judge others who believe in a God that differs from the God the Catholic Church teaches about.
So often I hear the bitter voices of people who have left the Catholic faith, who put down the Church, who ridicule the Pope. These voices are often featured on public radio. I also hear the voices of non-Catholics who believe the Catholic faith is a diabolic cult. There is a lot of judging by others against the Catholic faith, but their voices cry out often due to misunderstandings, or the result of what a person representing the faith did or said to them that damaged them. I know that God reveals Himself to us; we humans don't define who God is. God is not relative depending on one's thoughts or feelings at a given time. God is not limited by or locked into our past, present, or future time. He is eternal. We cannot fully grasp eternity even as our minds and machines develop to higher levels. We are here on Earth to be tested for our own good, and to prove our love for God since we have been given the promise of eternal life.
If we don't pray for the virtues, but continually choose the vices and continue down that path in our life through the moment of our death, we have chosen to lock God out. I totally believe that the Catholic Church through the Pope and the teaching magisterium opens our souls, hearts, and minds to the true and full offerings of the one true God of all creation throughout all time.

Kasi, Zach, and I took a walk around old downtown Denton, TX today.. We went to the recycled book store and some antique stores and I found these interesting sights around...
This is my favorite of the four I put up today.... It's amazing to think that for almost any conceivable topic, there is someone out there who has studied it and put their thoughts on paper.... It makes me realize how little I really know...

55th International Art Exhibition
The Encyclopedic Palace
1st June > 24th November 2013
The 55th International Art Exhibition will take place in Venice from June 1st to November 24th, 2013 at the Giardini and at the Arsenale (preview: May 29th, 30th and 31st 2013), as well as in various venues the city.
The title chosen by curator Massimiliano Gioni for the 55th International Art Exhibition is Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace. Massimiliano Gioni introduced the choice of theme evoking the Italo-American self-taught artist Marino Auriti who “on November 16, 1955 filed a design with the US Patent office depicting his Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic Palace), an imaginary museum that was meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite. Auriti’s plan was never carried out, of course, but the dream of universal, all-embracing knowledge crops up throughout history, as one that eccentrics like Auriti share with many other artists, writers, scientists, and prophets who have tried - often in vain - to fashion an image of the world that will capture its infinite variety and richness.”

Now that I know
How passion warms little
Of flesh in the mould,
And treasure is brittle, --
I'll lie here and learn
How, over their ground,
Trees make a long shadow
And a light sound.
