This video/slideshow was made for a Confirmation Retreat earlier this year to accompany a "Why am I Catholic?" talk. The slideshow gives six reasons for being Catholic: 1) the Eucharist, 2) the Church, 3) the Sacraments, 4) Mary, 5) Marriage (actual and spiritual), and 6) Communion of Saints.
The video is filled with images and quotes from saints, popes, and theologians associated with each point. The song for the video is "Jesus Christ You are my Life," the theme song from the 2005 World Youth Day.
Thank you to Katrina Iovana.

Lyrics Jesus Christ, you are my life, alleluia, alleluia. Jesus Christ, you are my life You are my life, alleluia. 1. Be our Way, our Truth, and our Life Form us anew in how you died We embrace the cross that you bore and will arise in glory. 2. Holy fire, come dwell in each heart Grant us the gifts your love imparts Free our tongues to boldly proclaim "Jesus is Lord forever!" 3. Break the yoke of violence and war Open the hearts of rich to poor Nations bound by terror and fear long to embrace your freedom. 4. Senseless walls of hatred divide, vengeance destroys and fear misguides. Teach us mercy: hope for new life for you alone are holy!
