The Fellowship of the Unashamed

I borrowed the Fellowship of the Unashamed from the book Catholics, Wake Up, Be a Spiritual Warrior by Jesse Romero. I really like Jesse and his preaching. He is a fellow radical Catholic. A man of the Gospel, not a Beared Man of the Gospel mind you, but a true man of the Gospel non the less. You can find much more about this quote below if you follow the link this link: https://www.gospeltruth.net/unashamed.htm

 

“The Fellowship of the Unashamed

I’m part of the Fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I’m a disciple of Christ, and I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I’m finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, lavish wealth, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, live by prayer, and labor by the Holy Spirit’s power. My face is set. My gate is fast. My goal is Heaven. My road may be narrow, my way may be rough, my companions few, but my Guide is reliable and my missions clear.

I will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up paid up and preached up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus. I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He does come for His own, He’ll have no problems recognizing me. I am part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed.”

 

I may not live this every day, but I pray that I can and I really give it my best. Only my best for Christ!

I am 61, a Catholic, trying to live a chaste life after being divorced. In late summer of 2016 I had an intense encounter with Jesus. Until then I was your average Catholic, going to Mass on Sunday, most of the time, Confession once or twice a year, and celebrating Holy Days sometimes. I know what happened, but I really can't explain it, other than to say I started to pray, just a little. The only real thing I can say is that if I was the man I am now, I wouldn't be divorced. I am not the same person, I now go to daily Mass as often as I can, spend time in Adoration every week, celebrate Confession every couple of weeks, and fast an pray. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you find something here that will help you on your faith journey. May God bless you in the name of Jesus. Your brother in Christ, Mark, the radical Catholic
