My sister is converting to the Catholic faith and could use your prayers. She is under attack from my extended family who are staunch Baptists and do not understand Catholicism or why one would want to become a Catholic. She needs prayers for fortitude. And while your at it, my extended family could use some prayers too.
 
Baptists are very big on the Bible. But would they be if they knew that the New Testament consists of 27 of the Catholic Church’s own writings?

Tell your sister to order this little book from Catholic Answers (this website) or Amazon.
Where We Got the Bible, Our Debt to the Catholic Church, by Henry Graham.

Or she can read it on line:

Also, I recommend Rediscovering Catholicism by Matthew Kelley. A wonderful and inspiring book, that has helped me connect to the Catholic faith more. I will remember her in my prayers! 🙂
 
I will pray for her. May blessings be with her in her journey. I pray that my Baptist family would also come to the courageous step she has though!🙂
 
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.
 
Lord, please grant fotitude, strength and peace to Norm’s sister. You are doing such wonderful work in her, please bring your work to completion. May she remain strong in faith and not let her extended family dissuade her from the truth. Convert the hearts of her extended family and bring them to the fullness of truth as we know it in our Catholic Church. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

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.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. 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 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 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.

Holy God we praise and glorify You and thank You for Your goodness to Norm’s sister.
We commend their difficulties to Your mercy as they do Your will.

We ask the grace to see and Your will even when our friends and loved ones object.
Holy God have mercy on us and on our family
