Sharing the faith

[lindseyanne212]

My husband of just over 2 years is Lutheran, and I would love for him to join the church so we can share our faith together. What are some ways that I can share the Catholic faith with him to possibly persuade him to look into it further on his own, with out seeming like I am forcing his hand.

Thanks for the advice

hav eyou discussed anything like this him before? what does he tink of the church/ do you have children yet? or in future, how will you transmit faith to your children? were you married in the church? have you ever been told that you have an obligation to raise your kids as catholics?

these are all important questions to consider

Did you get married in a Catholic Church? How was his response to Pre-Cana classes or the priests and/or religious that he met?
A few suggestions is to get involved with some church activities that are perhaps non-liturgical, such as church picnics, etc. and fellowship with some other young Catholic marrieds. It’s more than likely that it is not going to be you who brings him Home, but some other person. But bless you for trying. Pray for him and be gentle. Love him into the church by being a joy-filled Catholic, in love with Christ. No one ever got excited about getting involved with something by being argued into it.

My wife got me to go with her to a weekly Jeff Cavins bible study ( I was Lutheran, in fact, my middle name is Luther ) It had to be a solid study, though, like Cavins’ was, to get me to thinking. And in the end I came up with the idea of becoming Catholic myself, shocking my priest when he saw how passionate I was about it. Then, off to RCIA.

She “did not want to go alone”. Do something “regular” at the parish where you don’t want to go alone, and insist that he be with you so you do not have to be there alone. Do you like going alone? my guess is “no”, so you are not deceiving anyone; you really do want him with you, so tell him you want him to go. Then let the Lord figure out what to do when he is there. Andrew asked Simon to come with him to see Jesus. It was then up to Jesus to figure out how to convert that first Pope.
