It’s been awhile Catholic Forums. I joined back in August of 2018, whilst I was fervently preparing to join the Roman church. Shortly after posting in here, I began RCIA and had already started to pray the rosary morning and evening, a devotion I held on to every day for two months straight. While I say I began RCIA, I only truly agreed upon a start date. The evening before I was to begin, I heard a sermon at a Christian Campus organization on the Glory of God and felt convicted that I had been magnifying the Saints Triumphant to a place that they did not deserve, with my consistent requests for St. Mary’s and St. Augustine’s prayers. At that moment I basically ghosted the Roman Catholic Church. I have not spoken with a Roman Priest since, but rather found myself being baptized with a Reformed Baptist congregation before leaving them and winding up with an ACNA (Anglican Church in North America) parish due to my conviction concerning the 7 Sacraments and Apostolic Succession. The past 9 months I’ve been relatively content to be honest, but an experience a couple months ago keeps bothering me.
I do not generally remember my dreams so having a vivid one that I remember as such strikes me greatly. Basically, my girlfriend and I entered a classroom and were told that there were assigned seats so we split up to find our own seats which made us a bit sad, but oh well. There were nametags on the wall, hundreds of them but not enough chairs. I found my nametag and then felt a hand touch my shoulder. I turned and saw Archbishop Foley Beach (the Archbishop over the ACNA). He told me that someone had a favor to ask of me. Suddenly this beautiful woman appeared. Her skin literally glowed like stars. She was dressed in white and just wow. The most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She looked me in the eyes and smiled. Then she said “Take my baby.” I was so shocked I woke up immediately and prayed to God. Thanking Him for what had occurred. Initially I thought that the woman was the Church, but the moment I started telling my friend about it he knew I was visited by the Blessed Virgin.
Nothing heretical was asked of me and She did not even directly tell me to come to Rome, and yet it feels so strange. The day after my friend interpreted my dream, I went online and prayed the rosary for the first time in over a year. I honestly loved every minute of it and felt good about doing so, but I stopped myself from doing so again. Am I missing something? Should I not concern myself with this, as if the BVM had never visited me and called me to take up Christ? I know its an odd question to ask here, but since she did not tell me to bow to Rome, is that something I should not even be worrying about?
I honestly just want some Roman responses to all this, I’ve had plenty of Protestant.
