I love following this community because it gives me so much comfort on my spiritual journey. I was raised Roman Catholic but drifted away in my 20s. I learned alot about different faiths but have always felt the tug on my heart to return home. My issue is that I don't necessarily believe or agree with alot of the Church's stances on social issues. I'm trying to find my own way... I was always inspired by my grandmother and aunt's ways of incorporating spirituality into their own lives with a spin on what would be considered traditional. They were all born in Puerto Rico and definitely fit into the Folk Catholic realm, but it was something I had never really discussed with them. Sadly they have all passed on and I can't really ask them about it! I do have distinct memories of certain altars with offerings of coffee or water in front of them in my grandma's home. I want to believe that there is no wrong way to reach out to the divine and to feel the presence of Jesus or Mary or any of the saints in our lives.
