With all the upheaval currently taking place within the Church and in the world at large, it can be so easy to be disheartened.

However, we must remember that although we live in uncertain times, one thing remains unchangeable – the Catholic faith.

The Catholic Church has outlived every empire, economic and political collapse and upheaval since its inception. It is a visible sign of God’s unchangeable love for us and His unshakeable promise that nothing, not even the gates of Hell, will prevail against His Church.

There are so many reasons to be Catholic, to stay Catholic, to remain Catholic and to love being Catholic.

I have compiled just a few of them in the video below. On days when I feel particularly discouraged bout the state of the world and the Church, these help me remember the reasons why I love being Catholic.

I hope that the video provides inspiration to you too.

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.

Maria, Mater Ecclesiae, ora pro nobis.
