Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the journey of how my faith grew from being a Catholic to embracing my life as a Catholic. When my son, Keith, was born in 2001 with Down Syndrome, I began to realize the mysterious ways that God was showing in my life had a purpose. This child brings so many lives closer to God, where God's timing and unfolding of his plan occur. Jesus gives us many graces and blessings, if we but ask and have faith he will answer us. While praying one morning, I heard in my mind, "Cathy, will you carry my cross? Do you love me?" When I answered I would, but didn't know what to do, I was told, "It will be revealed to you." I had the realization that I had been prepared, called, and needed to obey God's will to carry his cross. Through clinging to my faith and prayer, I would choose to embrace his calling to carry the cross. I would realize that though grief and happiness come and go, joy is always there, if we realize that the love of Jesus, dying on the cross, is only thing we need. You, too, can choose to pick up the cross and follow him to eternal life.
