My late parents were both very devout Catholics attending Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation… When I was little they started a Rosary circle they would walk the 20 minutes to Church and back twice a week to lead it…As a child of 10 my best friend and I would also go and sometimes lead the Rosary *(in those days we had no car) * After they retired they attended daily Mass…

Sadly at 50 I find I don’t have their devotion…I do feel a big void in my life… I attended Mass on Christmas day for the first time in a long while… I admit I am lazy… Today, I made lots of excuses why not to go to Mass. I have a long way to go to take the step back into the fold…

This afternoon I felt that void again and spent some time at the computer ‘searching’ not sure what for, found myself on U Tube looking up all the Hymns I new as a child and singing them, I cried a lot

I would be grateful for your prayers to help me find my way back home…

Thanks
 
God bless you dear soul.
God will not forget your parents’ prayers and the sacrifices that your parents undertook to get to Mass.
With God’s grace I do not doubt that you will find your way to deep and lasting faith lived as a good Catholic.
May God continue to bless you, and to lead you to the Sacraments…
 
Praying for you from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Christ has appeared to us; come, let us adore him.

Psalm 95

Come, let us sing to the Lord
and shout with joy to the Rock who saves us.
Let us approach him with praise and thanksgiving
and sing joyful songs to the Lord.

Ant.

The Lord is God, the mighty God,
the great king over all the gods.
He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
and the highest mountains as well
He made the sea; it belongs to him,
the dry land, too, for it was formed by his hands.

Ant.

Come, then, let us bow down and worship,
bending the knee before the Lord, our maker,
For he is our God and we are his people,
the flock he shepherds.

:blessyou:

Dear Friend in Christ,
I am including you in my daily rosary and I believe that the Good Shepherd is carrying you back to the flock. His great love and mercy has not diminished and He will gently lead you back. Don’t hesitate to talk to Him in your own words and do drop into the church when you pass and ask Him to help you.
 
Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kindgom 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 deliever 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.
 
Thank you so much for your prayers…

It’s been a long journey to get this far and to be able to pray… I still have a long way to go and make Mass part of my life again…

Last night in bed I was still upset and I said… ‘Please Lord help me to find my way to you, I’m lost I don’t know what to do, show me the way’

In my ‘mind’ “Sermon on the Mount” came into my head… I started thinking of other things …Did I feed the cats, empty the litter boxes before going to bed… Then I thought ‘hang on a sec’ that other 'thought I had … The Sermon on the Mount 'felt different… maybe I should pay attention to it and remember it in the morning… So here I am… I haven’t a clue what it is about and will look it up shortly and read… :o But feel it has some relevence and felt that as you have all prayed for me deserve this feedback thus far…

Thanks Again
