Reigniting my faith

[Nang]

This past week has been very confronting, emotional and spiritual. I am catholic bought up . Married in a Catholic Church to my darling husband of nearly 30 years .
My faith over the years dwindled as my husband was not religious. We have two amazing children now 27 and 23 neither baptised. My husband, I believe was baptised United Church.
Today we are confronted with my husband’s terminal cancer . We have 3 months. In confronting death he has totally embraced the catholic faith. Within days he has been welcomed into the Catholic Church through the receiving of sacraments which has shocked me and his children.
His adoration for Jesus and the Virgin Mary is amazing. I as a Catholic am trying to help him in his journey. I must say s very comforting one. But I have forgotten so much with the mass responses amd so forth. He is hungry for biblical knowledge and wants to be a part of the mass with responding correctly.
Is it disrespectful to attend mass and not know all responses. And than receive communion? What should I be asking our priest or explaining to him . I just feel my husbands faith is desperate and rush and I feel s little uncomfortable with that.
Any guidance is welcome thank you

Nothing wrong with attending and not knowing the responses. A missal may be useful though if you can figure out how to use it.

Some Churches may also have a missalette which would have the readings and common responses.

I would make an appointment and explain the whole situation to the priest, exactly as you did here. He will direct you.

Thank you for helping your husband on his spiritual journey in this difficult time. I’m so sorry for the devastating diagnosis. We will be praying for you, your husband, and your whole family.

May the dear Lord bless and keep you, and Mother Mary be always at your side
