“THIS WEEK, we talk about religion and culture.

Lily: I feel my culture and religion have molded me into who I am. While I never visualized being a nun, I did enjoy my Catholic education (thank you, Sister Vincent!).

In the past year alone, I have experienced many falling-outs, and I thank God for faith and prayer. Friends can empathize and take your mind off daily crises, but prayer fortifies you. It reminds you that you are not alone and that you were created with purpose.

For me, religion and culture go hand in hand and are two strong life-fortifiers, which I hope to pass on to my sons.”*
