After a long journey of much debate and inquisition, I have finally decided to join the Catholic faith. I suffer from a debilitating shyness, so please could you pray to give me strength when I visit my local church for the first time tomorrow.

Thank you 🙂
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray.
Amen.
 
Here is a prayer for you…

*O Lord, *

We call upon You in our time of sorrow,
*That You give us the strength and will to bear our heavy *burdens,
*until we can again feel the warmth and love of **Your divine compassion. *
*Be mindful of us and have mercy *on us while we struggle to comprehend life’s hardships.
*Keep us ever in Your watch, til we can walk again with *light heartsand renewed spirits.

Amen.
 
Congratulations on your decision. I pray that your new church will welcome you with open arms and that you be able to overcome your shyness and be able to become involved in some of the activities and ministries in your parish.
 
in the tradition of the Jesus prayer - Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me - a sinner.
 
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
V. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created.
R. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
 
Welcome home. I will be praying for you. Please let me know how things are going. I will be praying for you and the priest.

May Almighty God grant you the graces and strengthes as you begin your journey into the Catholic Church. May he also grant you the graces that you are in most need of in coming to a closer union with Him and His Church. May your life be filled with His peace and assurance. May your time with the priest be blessed.

May the most just, the most lovable, and the Most High Will of God be done, be fulfilled, be praised and exalted in all things forever. Amen.
 
May the Lord come to your assistance and have mercy on you. May he give you courage to speak with people or, at least, courage not to fear being in their company. May the Lord be all that you think about tomorrow while at Mass, and may you let nothing separate you from Our Lord and Holy Mass. 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
 
May Almighty God grant you the graces and strengthes as you begin your journey into the Catholic Church. May he also grant you the graces that you are in most need of in coming to a closer union with Him and His Church. May your life be filled with His peace and assurance. May he bring others into your life that will help you in your journey home.

May the most just, the most lovable, and the Most High Will of God be done, be fulfilled, be praised and exalted in all things forever. Amen.
 
Glory to God… Welcome Home To The Catholic Church… I am so happy for you. I pray the church welcomes you with open arms and shows you the Love of God

Thank you so much for all of your kind prayers 🙂

I visited my church yesterday and, despite being riddled with nerves during the bus drive, once I entered through the church doors I felt utterly calm. This is something quite new for me.

I met the Priest and he pointed me towards purchasing an RSV Bible and a copy of the Catechism; once I have experienced these and if I still feel the same he said to visit again. He was a thoroughly gracious man and rather witty too. I admitted to him, “But, Father, I have so many doubts.” He replied, “Join the club.” That’s exactly what I needed to hear.

I thank you all again!

Bobby,

What a wonderful update too. I am so happy that you had a great experience. Sounds like the Father is a great one. Yeppers, we all have doubts down here.

If you have any questions on the CCC or the bible, go ahead and post them in the forum. You are welcome to PM if you need anything. If I don’t know the answer, I will find someone who may can answer it.

I will keep praying for you.

God bless. :signofcross:
