We often confuse confidence with self-worth, tying our value to achievements, appearance, opinions, or possessions. But true worth isn’t earned — it’s received.

Can I be Catholic and have doubts?
Doubt isn’t the end of faith—it might be the beginning. Like Thomas, we long to see, to touch, to know for sure. But sometimes, Christ meets us not with proofs, but with presence. In our questions, He gently invites us closer. Faith often begins where certainty ends—with trust, not sight.
