Should a non Catholic

[Guy355]

Should a non Catholic who is going to join the church in a few years, should this man, until he joins the church, should he try to live a Catholic life?

 

[Guy355]

Or should this man wait until he joins the church and then he should start living a Catholic life?

Start now! Why wouldn’t you?

Tips/Suggestions:
1). Buy a Catholic Bible
2.) Buy or go on the internet to view the Catechism of the Catholic Church
3.) Speak to your parish priest or RCIA Director about your desire to join the Church
4.) Attend Mass as often as possible---- just dont take communion until AFTER you have been formally received into the Church.
5.) Pray for God’s will daily

I converted a little more than 20 yrs ago and have absolutely NO regrets!

It all depends on whether or not ‘this man’ wants eternal salvation, sooner or later…

…are you feeling lucky?

I think you should start living a Catholic life now. What is really stopping you? Is there anything stopping you?

And for that matter, why would this person want to wait “a few years” to join the Church?

This man should review his reasons for not becoming a Catholic ASAP.



Get to a parish priest and get enrolled in RCIA, there is no time to waste!

The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins

25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming;[a] go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour** in which the Son of Man is coming.**

In other words, start living like today could be the Last Day… Start living a Catholic life ASAP.

God Bless!

Is he joining a religion or becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ?

If the later, then why wait to start living as a disciple of Jesus?
