I’m Catholic!

In mind, body, and soul!

Okay, not officially. But as I cried my eyes out during Easter Vigil I vowed myself along with those who were being confirmed. I am so ready, I wish I had been able to be confirmed this past weekend. I am excited though. Because I have found the Truth! Praise God for leading me Home! I may not be there yet, but I will be in God’s time! And I’m excited!

I went to St. Hugh’s in my hometown. Part of the Pittsburgh diocese. I’ll be received into the Greensburg diocese though, since I thats the area I live in.
 
:blessyou: It is a very exciting journey you are embarking on-Great News and welcome!
 
Not to take away from the excitement (Congrats) but I live in the Greensburg Diocese…small world.

I am currently in Greensburg.

Actually, I was working the other day (EMT for a big private ambulance company) and we had a call for a diabetic emergency at the Cathedral. They were practicing for Easter Vigil when we got there.

The “Living Waters” were moving right through you, I’d say!
Please pray for those who are looking for a ‘church’. My fundie neighbor just told me they are now looking for a church. I’ve been praying for her to be shown the Truth about Mary and thus, the RCC. I wonder if this is an opening for me to somehow bring up the RCC? She has been defensive in the past about Mary “worship”; I don’t think she knows how to graciously defend what she believes - too emotional.

I was thinking about asking her (and her dh) about how they go about analyzing or deciding what congregation they would join. What’s more important; what feelings they get from being there, or; is the Truth being taught. She believes they have Jesus present in the bread where they were.

Any other ideas?? I know I must fast and pray more. I’ve been listening to Open Line for some time, and feel I could answer many of the usual misperceptions that fundies use (have also read Keatings’ Catholicism and Fundamentalism). I have that ‘cheat-sheet’, too, in case I get stuck.

Thanks!

Do y’all have kids that can play together? I’ve found the best time to discuss the RCC with my neighbor is sitting in plastic chairs in the cul-de-sac while our kids play.
 
I am sooo excited for you! You are so very blest that you fully understand what you will be receiving when you are Confirmed in the Catholic Faith. I was a teenager when I received it, and I knew that there was something special about it, but I didn’t understand. You will be so overcome with the emotions and realization of how truly God has blest you with such a great Sacrament! In His mercy and greatness, you are at last in the Catholic Faith 🙂

St. John 3:5 “Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost (Confirmation) he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God”
