Today I was received into the Catholic Church using the Reception of a Convert rite and the Supplying of Baptismal Ceremonies. It was quite beautiful and I thank God that I can finally say I am Catholic.

Tomorrow I receive first communion.

Thank you everyone for all your help. God truly used the caring people on this forum to guide me along the way and I know I will continue to learn from you and to pass on to others what I have learned.

Excuse the blurry pictures. I have to maintain some sort of anonymity. 😃

The Imitation of Christ
Thomas a Kempis
The First Chapter
THE INWARD CONVERSATION OF CHRIST WITH THE FAITHFUL SOUL
I WILL hear what the Lord God will speak in me."
Blessed is the soul who hears the Lord speaking within her, who receives the
word of consolation from His lips. Blessed are the ears that catch the accents of divine
whispering, and pay no heed to the murmurings of this world. Blessed indeed are the
ears that listen, not to the voice which sounds without, but to the truth which teaches
within. Blessed are the eyes which are closed to exterior things and are fixed upon those
which are interior. Blessed are they who penetrate inwardly, who try daily to prepare
themselves more and more to understand mysteries. Blessed are they who long to give
their time to God, and who cut themselves off from the hindrances of the world.
Consider these things, my soul, and close the door of your senses, so that you can
hear what the Lord your God speaks within you. “I am your salvation,” says your
Beloved. “I am your peace and your life. Remain with Me and you will find peace.
Dismiss all passing things and seek the eternal. What are all temporal things but snares?
And what help will all creatures be able to give you if you are deserted by the Creator?”
Leave all these things, therefore, and make yourself pleasing and faithful to your
Creator so that you may attain to true happiness.

Blessed be God forever.

The Great Assembly rejoices with you.

Thanks be to God.

Peace

You’re already most of the way there - Confession within the last 8 days, your actual First Holy Communion, and prayers for the Pope - one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be, before midnight tonight. 👍
