I just updated my profile to reflect my upgrading myself in humility from Christian, just a rubric, to Catholic, through my belief in baptism of desire. My father grew up Anglican and English Catholic at the same time. My mother, never baptised. Converted to the Anglican Church to marry my Dad, Anglican wedding, she may have some Jewish origin. My younger sister got baptised at an interdenominational church which my brother and I also attended but my parents espoused atheism when they came to America, even while they held to the feeling of Christmas and Easter as part of their memory of England.

My brother and I grew up just plain confused. Please pray for him and for me.:confused:
 
I am very happy that you are growing in faith. I will pray for your spiritual growth, that you continue towards full unity with the Catholic church. I would suggest you seek out RCIA.

You and your brother are in my prayers.
 
I wanted to add, I just prayed the rosary for the first time using my ten fingers as I do not have beads. I understand about decades. I prayed it five times, as well as I know how. I have so many problems to pray about you wouldn’t even believe it. I also prayed the Memorare, which I learned hear, for myself and my son several times and also for the chaplain of the police force here who offered to interview with the Catholic radio station here which I have on my car radio and via internet.

You are remembered in prayer…

If you ask at your local parish, they might have a rosary they can give you. 👍

Peace

In addition to listening to Catholic radio, please consider asking your local parish when they offer adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. We believe that this is Christ, in His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, present before us. You can go there when they offer adoration and just sit, or pray a Rosary in His presence, and ask Him to grant you the grace of faith. Together with our prayers, you will receive your answer. Remembering you in prayer.

Po18Guy, I love your tag!

With regard dto the Rosary. I agree, ask someone at the local parish if they could find you one. There are often extra lying around. I took two to our parish recently so someone could have them. One was crocheted by the way, an easy task if you know how to crochet.

In the meantime, the “finger” Rosary works!. I always carry mine with me. 🙂
 
Lynne,
I’ve prayed that as you reach out to God, He reaches out and firmly grabs your hand, never to let it go.
God bless you and grant you the grace of true and deep faith in your journey.
Welcome.
 
May our Lord finish the good work he has already begun in you. May you and your brother grow deeper in faith and be filled with the Holy Spirit. May you both lead a very prayerful and sacramental life, and follow in our Lord’s footsteps. Amen.
