UPDATE:

I have stopped attending Mass and have been sitting home on Sunday. Even though this is CAF, I have to be honest. I can no longer take Pope Francis.

Please pray for me.

If anyone has any words of wisdom or any questions, please feel free to contact me via pm. Thank you.

Catholicism isn’t a denomination. It is the one true Church regardless of how I view Her or not. If She isn’t right, the other real denominations fall like dominoes.

Jesus is present in other churches not just the Catholic church. I converted in 2012 but left and went back to previous church, dont regret it at all. Forbidding contraception and draconian rules and regulations, not biblical at all. No warmth b or fellowship. Not very one person from the catholic church not even the priest have bothered to find out why ive left
 
I have lost and regained my faith many times! I will pray for you to persevere and come out of this a stronger Catholic Christian.

Praying that you may be assured of God’s love for you and that you will find peace on your journey of faith. It seems many of us, including myself, must struggle long and hard.

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.

 


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. †

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle,
be our defense against the wickedness and snares
of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the
power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other
evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen. †

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Amen. †

Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.

Amen. †

Jesus, Help Me

In every need let me come to Thee with humble trust, saying,
Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations,
Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials,
Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles and sorrows,
Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts,
Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Thy grace alone can assist me,
Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Thy tender love as Father and Savior,
Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me,
Jesus, help me!

When sickness and loneliness overcome me,
Jesus, help me!

Always, in weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind,
Jesus, help me and never forsake me.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen. †

Found this buried on page 8. This subforum needs serious revamping. What does someone have to do to get prayers around here? Be on the VIP list? Or know someone who is?

I won’t be resurrecting this thread again.

Thanks a lot everyone.
 
Please don’t give up, regardless of what happens with this thread.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ His only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified died and was buried. He descended into hell; On the third day He rose again from the dead; he ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the Living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints the forgiveness of sins and the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
Amen.

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.

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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

*O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen*
 
Jesus is present in other churches not just the Catholic church. I converted in 2012 but left and went back to previous church, dont regret it at all. Forbidding contraception and draconian rules and regulations, not biblical at all. No warmth b or fellowship. Not very one person from the catholic church not even the priest have bothered to find out why ive left
Sorry to hear that! But Christ said:“But you do not believe because you
are not my sheep. My sheep hear my voice,
I know my sheep and my sheep follow me” Jn. 10:26-27

I certainly do hear his voice, I know go to a church where there is warmth , fellowship and is full of those who really love jesus and worship him and talk about him.

You’ve got to FORGIVE them, and THEN they will be
STEPPING STONES instead of stumbling blocks,
praying for you.
 
As you know, what can be said on CAF is limited, so I cannot go into detail as to how and why I have lost my faith. It would be more correct to say that I have lost my faith in the hierarchy which, in turn, makes me question whether the Church has ever been what it claims to be.

At this point in time, I need a miracle of grace.

Please pray for me. Often threads in this section like my own get buried or ignored. I hope that doesn’t happen. I do need prayers. Please.
Prayers continuing…:signofcross:

If you would be so kind as to keep me in your prayers. I am still sitting home on Sundays. It has been a bit over one year now that I have been doing so.

If a miracle is needed to get me to go back, please beg for that miracle for me.

Thank you.
 
I just realized this thread was begun by me two years ago. So for over two years I’ve been going through this and it hasn’t gotten any better that I can tell.

Please do pray for me. And again I will add that if you have any words of inspired words for me, please don’t hesitate to send a private message my way.

Still pray my Rosary and other prayers every day, so I am not completely estranged.
