Glory to God!

Well to start off, im a high school student looking into the life of the Franciscan Friars. Im only a candidate but on my way. I have been Catholic for over 15 years of my life and i am so happy in it. I am here to defend the church which i love so much. God is with is. I also have kept Mary in my heart for so long. She, through the grace of God, has pulled me out of hell and Satan grasp. I love her so... The name HailMary53 comes from the rosary. There are 53 hail Marys in every 5-decade rosary. I encourage all of you Catholic and non-Catholic to pray. Where ever and whenever...pray. God is with us...through the church, the saints, and through Mary...pray the rosary.

One thing i would like to add, im a young catholic. I appreciate the attempts to make the youth more involved in church with all these "christian rock songs," charimatic movements, and renewal or revival movements. But in my opinion to me it seems that this is all the same with protestants who always want to worship in their "church" because that where they "feel" Jesus. To me this is silly we wouldnt need these movements if my generation was taught correctly about the church. Please stop that and just stick to traditions.

Viva il Papa!
Ave Maria!
Deo Gratias!
and God Bless...
