Hi, Tori —

Mass, sacraments, prayer, Scripture, and seeking truth in your field of study.

Hi, Tori —

A very important question in our day. You are 80% there simply by asking it. Jesus used to call demons by name to have power over them. So know:

• your enemy (ultimately the devil)
• his instruments (the ignorance and willingness of those around you creating the
  anti-Christian subculture)
• his lingo:
1. "everybody's doing it"
2. "if you loved me . . . "
3. "don't be so old fashioned, prudish, etc."
• the weapons you have been given for this battle (prayer, the Eucharist, Confession, good Catholic reading material, other serious Catholics, the Rosary and the Scriptures, etc.)

Not to sound too dramatic, but you are in the midst of a war for your soul and the battleground environment of which you speak is largely enemy territory.

Try to surround yourself with like-minded people who understand the challenge and are dedicated to chastity and against drunkenness. Also be mindful of the cloud of witnesses St. Paul speaks of in Scripture (Hebrews 12:1), and the angels and saints who are on your side.

You can be faithful to Christ through His Church if you persevere and remember, when you are on God's side, you're always in the majority.

Peace, Fellow soldier —

Paul

Tori,

Many non-Catholic universities have a Newman Center, which serves as a campus ministry for Catholics. My wife was a non-Catholic at a state college, but befriended others who included her in many Catholic ministry events. She eventually became a Catholic through her friends and her association with the Newman Center.

Short of any campus ministry programs, most would simply attend Mass at a local parish and hopefully find others with whom they can share their faith with.

God bless you,

Bob Kirby
