Hi, I’d really appreciate if you prayed for me 🙂 Please ask God to help me understand if the true Church is the Catholic Church, or the Orthodox Church. I’m so confused and don’t know what to think. 😦 I really need His grace and I feel like it would take a miracle, lol, I’ve been struggling with this question for around a month now.

Thank you!!
 
Hey I’ve been there too! . .Prayers :byzsoc:

For something more simplistic the truth is John 3.16 <><
 
Monica, have you checked this thread? AddictedKoala seems to have had the same struggle as you. Wishing you the best in your quest.

Go to an Eastern Orthodox messageboard and talk to some of the people there.

You’ll come running back. 😛

I’m kidding. I will pray for you. I would advise you, though, to make the choice on the best possible outcome of your own spiritual welfare. Don’t worry about displeasing God with your actions; worry about pleasing him.
 
Thank you everyone 🙂

it’s just so difficult for me to figure this out… because when all this first started, I was certain that the feelings I had about Orthodoxy were just a temptation. Because they seemed very strong, violent, not like God… I felt like I’m going to hell for not being Orthodox… it caused a lot of fear. The Eucharist took this away. But then later on, I got confused… and now I don’t know what to think. I keep on wondering if I really am heading towards hell and if this was God trying to warn me. See I was baptized Eastern Orthodox as a child and then became Catholic… and I’ve been told that I’m an apostate and have put my salvation in danger. This whole year, I’ve had a strong faith in the Church and God has worked in my life in ways… I believed so strongly that I didn’t leave the true Church, but joined it. But then this trial started (around a month ago). I’m going to try and find a priest to talk to but I’d really appreciate prayers for guidance… and that God would help me discern what is from Him.

God bless!
 
Jesus is the Truth!

Praying for you to place Jesus first in your life and see where He leads you …
 
Thank you! 🙂

I’m going to try and pray the Irresistible Novena for all this… I hope that something would happen in 54 days, lol. 🙂 In the past, whenever God wanted me to do something, He always gave me a desire for it… with Orthodoxy, it’s just a very strong impression in my mind but whenever I say ‘yes’ to it, I just feel empty inside and don’t feel peace or don’t feel like I’ve done the right thing. There’s no certainty… yet afterwards, I still feel afraid. I’m going to try praying the novena and I hope Our Lady will help me and guide me to the truth.

Thanks again 🙂 God bless.
