Pray for me, a sinner!

[tmango]

po18guy speaks the words of the Truth with his quote of the scriture regarding division. To deny the Truth is to deny God. As for me, I am not at all familiar with the faith of the LDS’, so I cannot speak of that religion.

Another scripture comes to my mind. I cannot recall it word for word, but it says something like, “if you deny Me before men, I will deny you before my Father.”

No one has ever stated that being catholic was easy. The narrow road is a difficult road indeed, but no pain, no gain…no cross, no crown…as Fr Corapi would say. Pray for strength in your faith and Jesus will be at your side when you decide to let the truth of your faith be known to your family.

I will pray for that strength for you through His Mother Mary. May She place you into Her Immaculate Heart and give you the guidance and strength you need to overcome your doubts.

I am be praying for you, also.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

Asa Ben Judah, I will remember you and your family in my novena to the Divine Mercy today.

I pray that the Lord will grant you the grace to be obedient to his calling and grant you the strength to do whatever He asks you to do.

This I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen

When I was a little girl in Catholic school, the sisters would tell us that there may come a day when we would have to stand up for our faith, just like the first Christians did and we were taught about the martyers that gave there lives for Jesus. I think you are in a situation very simular, where you believe your life as you know it will be over. I will pray that you have the faith and courage of those early Christians to do the will of God.
