Hello everyone! Somehow, deciding to particpate in Lent for the first time to learn to pray and read my bible every morning has led to me debating converting to catholicism. This is something I’ve been praying about and reading about. I feel like i tend to just leave my faith to good days and holidays and that I need to make my faith my life, not make my faith work around my life and hobbies and when i feel like it.

Also, for context, as a kid/teen my mom took us to a local southern baptist church but we haven’t attended one regularly, even rarely, in years.

If you want to read my long and detailed explanation, here it is. Its Lent and when i found out it was lent, i was initially quite skeptical and such as usual until something came up on a bible app i have on my phone teaching what Lent is. So after reading that and praying over it, i felt led to participate. To dedicate my mornings to prayer and reading my bible. Not traditional, but its what i feel like God is calling me to do right now.

Just…in short, if you would please pray for me for guidance. I don’t want to make the wrong decisions or do it with the wrong mindset, for the wrong reasons.
 
Praying that the Holy Spirit guides you on your faith journey. And if you end up a Catholic, so much the better 🙂

Come Holy Spirit, and enkindle in the OP and us the fire of your love.

In Jesus’ Name I humbly pray.
Holy Mary and St. Joseph please intercede.
Amen.
 
If I may offer some thoughts, take you time with it. Lean in and live amidst the Church and experience its love and devotion to Christ. Certainly, allow yourself to engage with the topics or beliefs that you find yourself struggling with; that’s a great part of the process. But lean in and see how Catholics live.

Most of all, lean into Jesus yourself during this Lenten season. He will meet you! I pray that you’ll find a home in the Church, but I pray that it comes in response to you finding your deep and abiding love in Him first.

God bless you on your journey!
 
May the Lord bless you along this path.

I’m so glad to hear that you might become Catholic!!! 🙂 It will be wonderful to finally embrace Catholicism. I know it isn’t easy, but it will be the best decision you can possibly make. I’ll pray for you. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Prayer for Guidance

O Holy Spirit of God, take me as Your disciple; guide me,
illuminate me, sanctify me. Bind my hands that they may
do no evil; cover my eyes that they may see it no more;
sanctify my heart that evil may not dwell within me. Be
my God; be my guide.

Wherever You lead me, I will go; whatever You forbid me,
I will renounce; and whatever You command me, in Your
strength, I will do. Lead me, then, unto the fullness of Your
truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
