I'm A Catholic by Jim Shoulak

I'm a Catholic!
And I pray the rosary.
I'm a Catholic!
Somebody call a priest.
I went to Catholic grade school, prayed the stations of the cross, got a statue of St. Christopher, so you know I won't get lost.
I'm a Catholic!
Sing it strong and sing it loud: I'm a Catholic!
And you know I'm very proud of Popes, and mass, the Patron Saints, the Angelus and chimes, novenas and the sacraments.
I'll tell the world that I'm a Catholic!
I'm a Catholic!
I am old and I am young.
I was taught by the greatest nun, I’ve got scapulars, holy cards, water that is blessed, vigil lights and Mary's sightings.
Father, I confess, I'm a Catholic!
(?) candle all a-glow.
I'm a Catholic!
Et cum Spiritu tuo.
I worked in missions around the world and the shelter down the street.
I marched for life and human rights.
Tell everyone you meet: I'm a Catholic!
I'm a Catholic!
The real presence in the host.
I'm a Catholic!
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
I read the Holy Bible, hosted Mass in my home and I listened to the teachings of the Pope, who lives in Rome.
I'm a Catholic!
Right down to my Confirmation name.
I'm a Catholic!
And I room for Notre Dame.
And when my days are over and my time has come to pass
For the rosary in my folded hands and say at my funeral Mass:
Here was a Catholic!

I'm a Catholic!
I'm a Catholic!

Amen

"Siamo mendicanti e chiediamo agli altri anche le loro idee, come la staffetta della posta che riceve il documento dalle mani di uno e poi corre per darlo ad un altro. Faccio una timida parafrasi delle parole di chi ci ha preceduto nel cammino della fede, per annunciarle ad altri."
(fr. Carlos Alfonso Azpiroz Costa OP
Maestro dell’Ordine)
