I just came back into the Catholic Church after 11 years of absence. I am very grateful to be home but I’m horribly lonely. I am in classes at church and trying to be friendly but I know it takes time. I am so lonely I hurt all over. I have a guy I used to “hook up” with every 2 weeks for sex but I am trying to stay away from sin.

I know change takes time but I’m SO LONELY. Please pray for me,

Love and prayers to you,

Lorrie:crying:
 
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.
 
Welcome back home!

Praying that you’ll make some new friends in your parish …

Good for you and welcome back!

I am praying for you even now, make sure you talk to folks at class, they may be as lonely as you are!

Lord, thank you for the good work you are accomplishing in Lorrie. Help her to keep away from all occasions of sin and give her strength to carry her cross with patience and love. May she make some friends at church and have her loneliness replaced with peace and joy. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Well done! It takes courage to break with old ways - you have made a great start 🙂 I’ll pray for you, certainly.

If you feel able to offer to do something, like helping collect hymnbooks after Mass or something like that - it may help to ‘break the ice’.

Please do come back on here and let us know how you are getting along.

With love and prayers.
 
I’ll offer a Rosary for you! If you struggle with purity in any way, perhaps pray to St. Maria Goretti. She is the patroness of purity, if I remember correctly. God bless you in your reversion.

And just so you know, I’m very lonely too at times. I’m the only Catholic in my family, I’m only 20, and for all intents and purposes I have no Catholic friends. But I like to look at it this way: We have so many more friends than we could ever imagine in Heaven, and they’re all praying for us.
 
Praying the rosary for you…
Just a suggestion…to combat loneliness, I often think about ways of giving of myself to others, i.e. I volunteer my time or talent for something like the parish or a soup kitchen. It takes away thoughts of yourself and start focusing on others.
