I have the opportunity to receive the Body and Blood of Our Lord daily. I cannot imagine anything that could deepen the intimacy of our relationship.

I think that’s one of the main differences between Protestants and Catholics - Protestants seem (repeat: SEEM) to run away from Crosses… or just not know what to do with them… Of course, Catholics do the same thing… But now that i’m (fully) Catholic, i don’t automatically run from suffering like i used to… I’m still not so good at “embracing” crosses all the time, though… but life is a learning process…
“By the time you learn how to live, its time to die…”
By the way, have you gotten any crosses SINCE you’ve become Catholic??

Have you ever spent much time at the Blessed Sacrament (especially the Exposed Sacrament)? The bond between us and Jesus really gets strong there… The longer we are there, the stronger and more wonderful it gets… (after u get all the “dross” burnt off, that is…

Coming to know Jesus in the Eucharist put me in touch with the inner workings of his heart–with his love for not only me and mine, but for everyone.
Catholicism taught me compassion for everyone–especially those unattractive to me.
Catholicism forced me to face the truth about myself, to see myself as God sees me, not as I would like to be thought of by him or anyone else.
I’m not saying Protestants cannot have these things, but that I needed the Church in order to find them.

Gave me a Spiritual Director from Spain who was exactly the person I needed at that moment in my life. (What other Church in the world can just scoop somebody up from the other side of the world and bring him to you without even blinking, let alone without some heartrending tale of woe concerning the cost of airfare that you would then be guilt-tripped into paying?)
All the wonderful advice I have received in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
