I have a question that I’m scared to even ask, but here it goes…

I was born out of wedlock and have had to live with that embarassment my whole life.
However, I would like to become a Catholic and am wondering if that would be possible given my situation?

I do know who my father is, and therefore would feel strange saying that I didn’t if I were to be baptized.

If anyone has any information it would be appreciated.

Hi Deliah,
The Lord is waiting for you with open arms. Go to the Church you have been attending (or would like to attend) and talk to the priest. He will probably direct you to attend RCIA and be baptised during the next (not this) Easter season. This is what I did - the whole shabang at one time - baptism, communion, and confirmation! Welcome Home to Rome! May the Lord continue to bless you on your journey.

Dear Deliah,

God’s mercy and love is so great that he does not punish the innocent outcome of sin. I myself was conceived and born out of wedlock. (There is a photo at home of mum and I) at my parents wedding. You have no fear of rejection by the church. I will pray for you and I hope that your RCIA is orthodox.

God Bless You
 
Deliah,
may God always bless, protect and guide your concious thoughts, words and deeds for you are a walking testimonial to Him, God who is Love. You are not an accident nor a mistake. You are a planned event in God’s story of Creation. You are made in the image of Love who is God. How or where you were conceived is not a matter for anyone to judge except God. Remember the girl caught in the act of adultry, “Let he who is without sin throw the first stone.” Your conception is the result of the choices of others not yours. Let us always try to forgive and pray for those who believe they have the right to judge you or others based on God’s choice of when the gift of His life and love enter creation. Remember you are a gift. Know that a gift is something given freely by someone who loves you. You cannot make someone love you. Either they do or they don’t. You cannot pay for a gift or it would not be free. A perfect God does not give bad gifts. A perfect God does not make bad gifts for Himself. You are a gift from God to your parents, to all creation and to God Himself. Each gift, you included, is God’s Invitation For Trust. Trust God and I pray that God bless your journey into His Church, into His heart and into His Eternity very, very richly.

we all have the same Father, God, who welcomes you and loves you just as you are, and is calling you to draw closer to him. Come on home, your family is here waiting for you.

You just hang in there. God loves you! The Church loves you! And, we love you too! Welcome Home!

You should have absolutly no fear (well, you probably will, but you shouldn’t). I was born as a product of IVF, and I too was wary about admitting it. But now I think that it serves as a reminder to others that where you come from has no bearing on where you can go. I help teach at my parish’s high school youth group, usher and volunteer; all these things would not have been possible if I had not believed…
