I don’t know what to do. My best friend is a Calvinist/Dutch Reformer. I am so sick of her anti Catholic behavior. She says she don’t preach hate but recently her 7 year old son told me that “My mom said Catholics do NOT love God like they should”, I am not going to deny my faith anymore. I will NOT take down my crosses, blessed statues and holy water. I can not quote a saint with out her going all Sola Scritptura on me. Yet she can recommend quotes and such of Hate mongrel protestant ministers. I am not going to sell “out” my faith because of her. I can not be the Catholic I am around her. I find myself “rewording” things about God because I don’t want to sound Catholic. Please help. The next time she “corrects” our catholic faith I might snap. Please please pray for me, Advice also would help. xoxox Jill
 
If you can not be the Catholic you are around her then you don’t have much of a friendship. When someone has a problem with me I always appreciate the opportunity to discuss the problem and try to solve it. Do your best friend the courtesy is a frank conversation and see if there is any point to trying to continue this friendship. If not, move on and live in peace. God bless you.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your 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.

Lord, grant graces for love and charity in this relationship and angelic guidance to all involved regarding the future of the relationship. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.
 
I am praying for you.

I have a family member that likes to spout off about things Catholic. Usually the conversation starts on a specific topic and then snowballs into numerous things until it’s hard to keep track of which attack to defend against. What I try to do is take it one topic at a time. Keep the conversation focused on the original question or attack. Don’t let it get off topic. My 2 cents.
God Bless,
D
 
Lord, I pray that Jillian has a good talk with her friend to let her know that she can no longer hide being Catholic. I pray that Jillian will live the Catholic faith fully and faithfully. Amen.
 
I’m with Rocket—I avoid people like that.

Remembering you and your friend in my daily prayers. God bless!
 
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;
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen
