Blessings,

I started looking into Catholicism back in April with the intention of evangelizing to Catholics… and because I didn’t understand their beliefs. I didn’t expect myself to start believing that the Catholic church is the true church of Christ, but that is what happened. Although after months into my personal research, I gave up because my husband was totally against it (and still is). But then a woman I had met at a Catholic church started evangelizing to me. I prayed for a miracle I needed at the time, and God used the Catholic woman as part of the miracle.

I am currently reading “Rome Sweet Home” and have also been reading online and watching videos on youtube about Catholicism.

Anyway, I am more convinced by the day and believe in the holy Catholic church as the visible church of Christ. Apostolic succession makes sense to me.

I wanted to ask for a prayer request. Please pray for me that I could become Catholic. In the country I am currently in, it can take years to become Catholic as a catechumen. I really want to learn as much as I can and become part of the Catholic church. I long to partake of the Eucharist.

Another thing is that when I talk to other evangelical Christians about it, they either attack me or get upset and don’t want to talk about it. I am also feeling lonely because of this, which is part of the reason I stopped looking into Catholicism before.

I have contacted a local priest and am supposed to start studying as a catechumen soon, but it seems like there is a delay. Anyway I need prayers of others! God bless you!
 
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.

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.
 
Also I think I was mistaken because I just spoke with the secretary at the parish and she told me it takes one year to prepare for confirmation, which sounds normal.

Anyway thanks again to all for your prayers. Blessings and peace be upon you!
