I'm Jealous
I'm jealous. I am jealous of the men in our parish who have been given the opportunity to participate in "That Man Is You." 
 
I am not a man. Therefore, I couldn't participate in "That Man Is You." But after hearing one of those men talk to us tonight, I wanted to participate even more. Not to learn how to be a better man, but to learn how to be a better person.
 
A man named Kevin spoke to us recently about how "That Man Is You" facilitated a newfound relationship with Jesus. How he learned to put Jesus first in his life, which in turn, enhanced his relationships with his family and society. He became a better person because of "That Man Is You."
 
While I'm happy for Kevin and all the other men who participated in "That Man Is You," I am saddened by the fact that there isn't a similar program for women--at least not that I'm aware of.
 
I want to develop a deep relationship with Jesus. I want to develop a better relationship with my family and my community. I want to learn how to be a better woman in Christ and I want to learn how to be a better wife and mother--if I am ever blessed to become a wife and mother.
 
Tonight, as I kneel at my beside to say my prayers, I will pray that God will bring me the tools He provided in "That Man Is You" to become a better woman, a better person and overall a better Catholic. Because whether or not there is a program, God will always lead us in the right direction and give us the tools we need to become better people. 
 
Signed - Anxiously awaiting "That Woman Is You."
