Coming Home

[saribee]

I have found my way through a complicated mess of me living in several different cities over the next few months and spoken to priests at several parishes and have come up with a solution for me to go through RCIA and be confirmed this easter!

I am incredibly excited and a little bit terrified as well. I posted on another thread that my family will NOT support this decision. Please pray for my family that their hearts will be softened and that I will be able to discern when to tell them about this new step in my life…as well as for me during this journey.

Everything is moving so fast. It is exciting but this is also a life comittment and decision. I have never made a decision this huge before. This really trumps the importance of choosing a college!

That’s great, Alleluia! I am praying for the Holy Spirit to bless and guide you all to the Lord.

Welcome home! As for the proper timing, I just watched a new Journey Home show on youtube this am. The guy did not not share his conversion with his parents until about 18 mos after he had come home. There is no “right time” or right way to cover this if the family is oppositional. I’ll pray for you in your conversion and having the grace you need when the time is right. And, yes, this decision is WAY bigger than choosing a college, isn’t it?

God, please have saribee’s family be kind and happy towards his decision of conversion to Your Church. Have them see what a great decision it is and help them to encourage and be happy for him. †

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom 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 deliver us from evil.
Amen

 

[Rossco]

I pray that your journey is blessed.

 

[Paul_theApostle]

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.

Wonderful news!

Lord, please bless Saribee and help him/her to be the best Catholic ever. Help his/her family to accept his/her decision to enter the Church and do not let them hinder him/her. Grant deep faith to Saribee, as well as perfect hope and charity. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

Welcome home. God bless you.
I’ll pray for you and your family.

Remember, O gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of Virgins and my Mother; to thee I come, before thee I kneel, sinful and sorrowful;

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen.
