Hello everyone,
Code: 
I am a 23 year old Southern Baptist who would like to convert to Catholicism.  My father is a deacon in the Baptist Church and my mother is baptist as well. I am afraid that I will cause them alot of worry and stress if I tell them I want to become a Catholic.  

I ask that you pray that my parents hearts will be softened, and pray that I will gain the courage to talk to them about my decision.
I want to include that as of late–I have a feeling that I am trapped in the Baptist church and it is making me very bitter towards my parents, preacher, fellow christians etc.

In Christ,

Brother (or sister), I will truly keep you in prayers., as I will begin to say my nightly rosary in a couple of minutes.
 
Praying for you from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

From Psalm 85 (86)

And you, Lord, are a God of compassion,
full of mercies, patient and true.
Look upon me, have mercy upon me,
give your strength and protection to your servant:

Prayers and Intercessions

Be generous with the gifts of your Spirit:
patience, kindness and gentleness.
– Lord, help us to serve God.

Give us the gift of loving you,
so that we may possess you, for you yourself are love.
– Lord, help us to serve God.

Give us the gift of doing good,
so that we may praise you simply by living.
– Lord, help us to serve God.

Grant that we may seek whatever is best for our brethren
and ease their path to salvation.
– Lord, help us to serve God.
 
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.
 
I will pray for you and your family’s understanding in this manner…

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.
 
Praying for you, I’m certain this is a very difficult situation.

I believe that Steven Ray wrote a book(started out as a letter) to his Baptist parents when he wanted to convert, perhaps it may help you…“Crossing the Tiber.” Someone may confirm or correct me, it has been sometime since I read the book.
 
Praying that God will give you the strength to live your life as you wish too in his glory and love, and that your parents may respect your wishes to join our beloved family

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do 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.
