They'll Make Fun of Me
Over the summer, I've met a lot of teenagers that like the idea of being 100% Catholic, but they are afraid that people will make fun of them for "being into God." They tell me it's easy to be a good Catholic at church or with their youth group, but once they get in their high school hallways, it's too hard to be different. They don't want to be mocked or criticized.
This is a valid fear, but we need to think this through:
So now you have to make a decision. Will you be bold, or will you shrink back in fear? There is no in between. This isn't just an exercise of bravery, but an understanding of the love of God. People are hurting out there at your school, and God will work through us only if we are willing. Will you say yes?
