Katharine Marie Scott

Katharine Marie Scott’s spiritual journey began in adult life. It began after she suffered some hardships, found daily life to be a struggle and stressful, and was focusing on the negative events that she experienced. She reached the point where she realized that there had to be more to life than the daily rat race she was in. She started attending some masses. She did not understand everything, but she found it peaceful to be in a church and felt calmer after mass. She immersed herself in reading books and materials about praying and the Holy Spirit which she found inspirational and educational. She used to comment to her friends that she needed a manual for life. Then one day she realized the Bible is the manual for life. She then studied the Course in Miracles and went on to teach Faith Formation classes. She engaged in research as she prepared for each class which led to deeper understanding about topics like forgiveness, compassion, and accepting what experiences God had chosen for each of us. Some of our experiences may be challenging and may not be what we would choose, but we can believe that there is a reason for everything that we experience and every person we encounter. As her journey continues, she remains grateful for every step of the path she travels on.
