2. If anyone reading this was not a catholic from birth how did you know when you found god in catholacism?
Hello and Wellcome!!!
I was not religious at all before this past year… I belived in God, but only prayed when I needed help…that was it… When I was introduced to Catholisim I thought it was kind of extreme, but I kept going back to Mass and didn’t really know why. Then I got more involved with the ministry at my college and found a family there. The people were amazing a devoted to their faith. Through this minisrty I began to feel that this is what God wanted for me. And as I learned more about the faith I became a happier and more complete person. I went to other Christian churches to explore my options and discoved that they were not enough, I needed more, I needed Catholism! Now I am going to enter RICA, which is Right of Christian Anitiation, so I can join the Church in Baptism and Communion.:bounce: I am so excited! Until then, I am reading as much as I can about Catholism and reading the Bible too, because I never really read it before. Everything is so exciting to me and I am so happy that God has called me to find the truth!
Catholisim is very deep and takes a lifetime to learn and I think it is great that you are searching for the truth
! If you are really wanting to learn about it, the book
This is Our Faith by Michael Francis Pennock is very helpful. I am reading it now and it explains Chatiolic teaching and gives Bible verses to back them up. I found it at the library, so i’m sure your library might have it too.
If you ever have questions for me about my experience with Catholisim, or any thing else, don’t hesitate to ask!
You are in my prayers,
Rachel
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (a day early)
