Dear Friend,

Thanks again for your prayers and understanding of the delicate nature of this ministry. Advent is such a beautiful time of waiting, and expectation. Please let us continue to pray for all those who may be pondering a return to the Catholic Church at this time. If anyone reading this thread knows of anyone who may be wavering please direct them to this website, HERE.

It is well worth watching, if you have never visited the site of “Catholics Come Home”. It is very helpful in appreciating the Catholic Faith whether you are currently pracicing or longing to return to the practice of Catholic Faith.

We also can do more than we even imagine by our prayers and our joyful welcoming of every person we meet. I remember many years ago a priest encouraging me to remember the Trinity dwelling within me and to welcome persons into God’s Presence and not merely into my own presence. That has helped me in many situations.

So please keep those prayers coming and remember to be a “welcoming” person for all who may be longing to come home. Thanks. 🙂
 
Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kindgom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliever us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

Dear Friend,

How very much I appreciate your praying to the Holy Spirit, Whom Jesus promised would teach us all things (cf John 14:26)! The persons returning to the practice of their faith need to be open to the Holy Spirit, and we need to keep praying for them, through Mary.

Again, thank you and all who may be reading this thread and praying for those Catholics Returning Home in our parish program; as well as praying for all those who need to come home, who are scattered all over the world.

Come Holy Spirit!
Jesus we trust in You!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
 
Lord,

I thank you for this ministry and these your lost sheep being reached. Lord lead them all to a closer Union with You and Your Holy Church. May they be blessed.

Amen.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen

Dear Paul,

Thanks so much for praying especially through the intercession of Our Lady, for she longs to gather all her children to her Son.

Dear Friend,

Thank you again for your faithfulness in praying for our little group. We had our meeting last night, and I believe it was a fruitful one. Please pray for all in the group. Some are experiencing heavy trials of sickness themselves or sickness in their families. May the Lord have Mercy on us all and bring us through these diffiuclties, stronger in our faith, hope and above all, charity.

To all who may be reading this thread, I ask for your prayers, not only for our little group of “Returning Catholics” but for those all over the world who need to come home! Thanks.

Greetings MariaChristi,

I am glad that the meeting again was a blessing. I shall pray for them to regain their health and their families health. Thank you so much for the update.

I will continue to also pray for all those who need to once again come home into the warm and Merciful bosom of Holy Mother Church.

God Bless.

Dear Friend,

Thank you, again, so much for your kindness in praying for us. Prayers are efficacious. In reading my Zenit subscription this morning, I was blessed by this:
ROME, NOV. 23, 2011 (Zenit.org).- There is a global perspective to the new evangelization …Archbishop Salvatore Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelization explained that the new evangelization is necessary to respond to the anthropological, ethical and social crisis caused by the neglect of God…

In this connection, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Pope’s secretary of state, stressed that for “baptized persons whose faith is extinguished and who are no longer practicing, the Gospel must be proclaimed with new ardor, new methods and new expressions.”
Click to expand...
Cardinal Bertone said it is the time to rediscover the “first love,” that is “reflected in the immense love that God the Father has shown for us by giving us his Son,” because that “first love” is the force that moves the hearts and steps of so many new evangelizers: individuals, families, communities, ecclesial movements.

Cardinal Péter Erdõ, said that although it seems that secularization prevails, “through her doctrine, art and liturgy, the Church offers the world a look at the Mystery of God capable of opening the human heart and reason.”
Click to expand...
And he added, “evangelization passes always and necessarily through charity lived daily,” because charity “is a sign of the presence and love of Christ.”
Click to expand...
“In the call to the new evangelization,” Cardinal Erdõ concluded, “Christians are challenged by Jesus and the Church and also by the cry of persons seeking meaning for their life, to commit themselves to bring relief to all those suffering in soul and body.”
( Underlining is mine for emphasis)
Click to expand...
Our parish effort and the efforts of many parishes to reach out to Catholics who are not practicing their faith is a part of the New Evangelization to which the whole Church has been called. Without Christ, we can do nothing, and so prayer is absolutely essential. I am grateful to you, my friend and to all who are praying for our Returning Catholics. Please keep those prayers coming!

Dear Friend,

Thank you again for your prayers. A sentence from my reply to you yesterday has remained in my heart:
…“evangelization passes always and necessarily through charity lived daily,” because charity “is a sign of the presence and love of Christ.”

Your prayers are indeed to me a “sign of the presence and love of Christ”. Thanks again to you and to all who are praying for our “Returning Catholics”.

Greetings MariaChristi,

Charity above all. If we can attain to live every moment out of charity, think every thought out of charity, say everything we say out of charity, then we shall have the peace of Christ permeating through our lives.

I shared this sentence today with some friends. It is profound.

God Bless.
