Ellianet Mata's Religious Beliefs
Ellianet Mata was raised as a Catholic to have faith in God, saints, and that one could be blessed. She did not believe in God, found the stories to be confusing, and found no evidence to confirm the stories to be true. She could not convince herself to trust the book of scriptures or God. She didn’t stress over natural occurrences; death, for example, and thinks that it is confusing to pray to prolong your own life. She trusts life will play out based on one’s personal decisions and some fortune, karma from a past life. She does not dismiss her family for their religious beliefs.

    Life In Bless Me Ultima By Rudolfo Anaya

    Although Antonio is confused about the good and the bad he does not let it get the best of him. “Aye! My man of learning!” said Maria. (53) The more he understands that he must make his own choices the more he becomes a man. He believes that his destiny must unfold just like Ultima tells him. As Antonio begins to understand he realizes that there are more than one religion in the world and not everyone believes in the same religion. He also realizes that religions change and it is not a must that he believe in one God. In the next decade, there may not even be religion. The relationship between Catholicism and folklore all comes together. Antonio can believe in both if he wants. He may make his own religion and believe his own religious beliefs. “Take the llano and the river valley, the moon and the sea, the God and the Golden Carp- and make something new,” Antonio told himself.…

    Perpetua’s father went to see her in prison more than once and begged her to deny Christ. He asked her numerous times to reconsider her Christian position because of the pain her death will cause him and also her baby, who was still “a child at the breast.” Perpetua never hesitated.

    My Antonia Religion

    George Washington once said, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports” (Washington). This faith in G-d, exemplified in My Antonia, was never so prevalent as it was in our early communities. Spread across farms and villages throughout this great country, religion has lifted up the spirits of millions, rejuvenating vast swaths of the population. As our nation expanded during its early years, this hope and belief was crucial to pioneers who travelled into unknown western lands. In My Antonia, faith and freedom of religion is shown as an essential aspect of frontier life. Belief in G-d and freedom of religion built the foundation of this nation, and Willa Cather…

    Perpetua's Commitment To Religion

    “And I who knew myself to have speech of the Lord, for whose sake I had gone through so much, gave confident promise in return…” (Musurillo 71). Relying heavily on her faith is the key to Perpetua’s survival and acceptance for the difficult journey she faces. From the moment she begins telling her story, it is perfectly clear that she believes her religion will guide her through her endeavors. Perpetua encounters many disheartening challenges as explained in her narrative. She never wavers from stating that she is a Christian, even when her father begs and pleads for her to recant her claim. Moreover, without guidance from her visions from the Lord, Perpetua would not have been brave or strong enough to endure the hardships, the humiliation,…

    Religious Experience Project

    As I do not practice any religion, I thought that for the religious experience project, I would write about my observations as my sister rekindles her faith and practice in Roman Catholicism. My sister and I were both raised Catholic by our parents and both attended Sunday school where our grandmother was our teacher. However, after our parents divorced about 17 years ago, we both strayed away from our faith. I went on to keep an open mind and learn of other religions but never found my fit. My sister has recently started to return to Catholicism, expressing her desire to have her child baptized someday. For this paper, I asked if I could accompany her to mass for the first time in 17 years at our childhood church, St. Cecilia Catholic Church…
