As Matthew Kelly reflected on his twenty-five years of speaking and writing, he realized that his biggest inspiration continues to come from the many faithful individuals who support the mission of Dynamic Catholic. He decided to send an email to all of these Ambassadors, asking for their answers to three Why do you love being Catholic? What is your favorite memory as a Catholic? As a Catholic, what are your hopes for the future? The response was overwhelming. Why I Love Being Catholic is the result of that rallying call. Compiled from thousands of answers, this collection of insights, stories, hopes, and dreams is both inspirational and motivational. The authors are people just like you they've laughed, cried, suffered, and celebrated their way through all the ups and downs of life.
