Dearest GoldenLight:

WELCOME back to God’s holy house !!! THANK YOU for coming back !!!
All of Heaven and many on earth are absolutely delighted that you have chosen to do so.

Get two books:
THEOLOGY AND SANITY, by Frank Sheed, and
THEOLOGY FOR BEGINNERS, also by Frank Sheed.
Both are available from amazon.com

Also available is THE ESSENTIAL CATHOLIC PRAYER BOOK.
You’re GOING TO need all of these books, having been away so long.
AND GET A ROSARY, and please use it, daily. It will help IMMENSELY.
And JOIN the Rosary Confraternity: rosary-center.org
Also, since you’ve been away so long, you need to learn, and pray daily,
the short but very powerful CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY.
Jesus pours out TONS of graces upon souls who pray this Chaplet. Please learn it.

GoldenLight, one word of serious warning:
The Devil is absolutely LIVID at you for returning to the LORD. Absolutely LIVID at you.
He is going to do EVERYTHING, overtly and subtly as well, to turn you back AWAY.
Please DON’T let him succeed. Immoral friends will suddenly start calling you, wanting you to spend lots of time with them. When that doesn’t work, he will overwhelm you with guilt. He may send you tons of problems, oppressions, hostility from others, trouble on your job, EVERYTHING to frustrate and upset you and get in your way.
Expect it. He hates believers. But DON’T despair over it. He is a malicious coward
who wants you to come back over to his side by simply turning BACK AWAY from the Faith. Don’t let him trick, scare, oppress, guilt-trip, or in any other way, get you to leave.
Pray several times a day for protection against him and his fallen minions.
And enroll in the SERAPHIC MASS ASSOCIATION seraphicmass.org
for $5.00 for a perpetual membership to have yourself daily bathed in other’s prayers and mass remembrances too, and pray to ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL for protection.
And always come here, to Catholic Answers Forums and offer your Prayer Intentions.
There are many, many GOOD HEARTED, LOVING Catholics here who WILL be delighted to help you with our prayers.
God bless you and welcome home.

Greetings GoldenLight,

I will continue to pray. I am glad that things are getting better for you. I hope and pray that you will come closer in Union to God and His Holy Church.

My friend have you given serious thought to going to Confession and once again receiving the Sacraments?

God Bless.

Dear Anathama,

Every time I read one of your posts!! I can’t help but notice your…***Get thee to Confession and Mass ***message ‘signature’ 👍

I am working on my Confession, I don’t want it to be a 'half ’ job.what I mean by that is I want completeness, I really want it to mean something…
Growing up, it used to be the same 'ol lines without any due thought, care or real understanding and meaning behind it…

But my biggest stumbling block is ~ Holy Communion, I’m not there yet…**Please **add to your prayers that I am given the Grace to ‘believe’ 100% in transubstantiation when receiving The Eucharist…
In the past I always thought of it as symbolic, sadly I know many Catholics that believe this to be the case… Now I undertand this is a Mortal sin… So obviously I can’t take communion…
I don’t want to come back to the Church unless it’s 110% !!

I have debated long whether to change this signature, but it is known in Catholic Answers Forum and seems to be the best advice that I can say to anyone.

May the Holy Spirit enlighten your mind and your heart so that you may worthily confess your sins.

My friend keep working on that Confession. The Lord sees your intent and your good desire to make a good Confession. Don’t let the fear or anxiety of forgetting a sin hold you back. Know this, when you go to Confession, and you accidentally forget a sin that you should have confessed, rest assured, it is forgiven, just mention it in your next Confession. [Wow that last sentence was a run on, my apologies, I am a bit tired to correct it. :D]

For me it is hard to fall into the trap of not being careful to examine my conscience since November I have been blessed to be able to go to Daily Confession, [permission of my spiritual director/confessor obtained.] SO I can understand where you are coming from. What helps me most is to think about what I am doing or saying or thinking in Jesus’s presence, and that pretty much keeps me in the straight and narrow.

My friend a word of caution. It is one thing to want to believe with all of your heart in a doctrine of the Church. Pray to God the Holy Spirit for the light of Faith. This is different rather than not wanting or belligerantly refusing to believe in a doctrine of the Church. We all struggle with our faith in some manner. My greatest struggles with doctrine are the death penalty and genetic engineering. Now, I know there may be some fellow posters who might be thinking, geez Anathama Sit, I can see what’s wrong with those things. Well I am glad that you guys have the light of faith. But just because I struggle to see where the Church is coming from, does not make me any less than a Catholic than our Holy Father.

The fact is, that even though I may not agree with the Church or fully believe in it, I choose by faith to live my life according to the teachings of the Catholic Church, praying earnestly, for the light of faith to enlighten my mind and heart.

Now I have been a Catholic for 9 years this fall, had I waited to become a Catholic when I believed in EVERY dogma or doctrine, sadly my friend, I would not have become a Catholic.

My counsel is to confess this to the priest and let him know that you are struggling with belief in the Real Presence of Christ.

I have mentioned in other parts of this extensive forum that I have worked with several exorcists and in deliverance ministry. The evidence of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament is overwhealming. They fear the Holy Eucharist.

But, here’s another counsel… Go to Adoration. Sit there and just simply be in front of Jesus. He knows your heart and knows that you do desire to come back to the Church.

Don’t give the Evil ones a foothold in your doubts. Step out in faith, [and I know that this is extremely hard to do at times.] At least that you do know that it is wrong to think of the Eucharist as symbolic and that you are willing to believe. Belief does not always come overnight…

Take that intiail step of faith, continue working on your Confession, attend Mass, and share with your confessor your struggle with belief in the Real Presence.

And if anyone tells you that you are less of a Catholic becuase you are struggling to believe in the Eucharist, then I submit them to the Hands of the Judge who judges all things…

God Bless.

[p.s. My goodness, I seemed to have gone on. Your last response elicited this response. I hope you have a blessed day. Should you need anything or need prayer, again feel free to use the Personal Message.]

For all his intentions, I pray.
