There are times that I feel this intense longning/thirsting in my soul/heart for something… for change or something like that… but I"m not sure what it/that is…

Have any of you eve felt or experienced this too?

What is it?

What could it be?
 
Yes, sometimes. Probably longing for God, realising material goods and even other people can’t fulfil the certain something which we are lacking.
 
Yes, it made me take my confirmation! 😃

I hope you find out what God is calling you do to!
 
I’m in RCIA clases for my confirmation!!!

And I seem to watch less and less tv as well…

Still watch movies, but I’m cautious about that too…

AAHH!! IT IS AMAZING!!

I’m so happy for you! I’ll pray for you! The journey truly is what you make of it… it was the best day of life receiving my confirmation. I really hope it is for you too! 🙂

Advice - read read read! The more I read the more I understood that didn’t understand… as crazy as that sounds it’s eye opening!!

In fact this Sunday my Church brought the new candidates and catechumens up for a blessing and I became tearful! I love it!!! 😃
 
ah ah!!! I love to read!!! But I mostly read here online-diferent articles and things like that.

I’m 34 and never been married yet. And just picked out my Godparents from my parish!!!

We will have that ceremony too in about 2 weeks!!!

I wasn’t really raised catholic but by God’s grace I first started going to Mass in 2002-2005 then I had a tragedy in my family in 2005 and didn’t go to any church hardly at all until 2009. But in the fall of 2009 I heard Jesus and Mary calling me back Home to Mother Church!!!

It’s been a journey and battle but Im HOME now!!!
 
Yes you are! There’s no place better to be! 😃

There’s a book I’m currently reading called "What Is The Mass’ by Sri Edward(s). It’s fantastic I highly recommend it!!

Now when you meet your future wife you’ll be a strong husband in Christ. That’s amazing! 🙂 You’re on such a beautiful journey!!

These psalms say it for you, perhaps:

“O God You are my God for You I long;
for You my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for You
like a dry weary land without water.

So I gaze on You in the sanctuary
to see Your strength and Your glory.
For Your love is better than life,
my lips will speak your praise.

In Your name, I will lift up my hands.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet,
my mouth shall praise you with joy.
On my bed, I remember You.

On You I muse through the night
for You have been my help;
in the shadow of Your wings, I rejoice!
My soul clings to You;
Your right hand holds me fast.” [Psalm 63]

“There is one thing I ask of the Lord,
for this, I long, to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to savour the sweetness of the Lord.” [Psalm 26:4]

“Preserve me, God, I take refuge in you.
I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
O Lord, it is You who are my portion and my cup;
it is You Yourself who are my prize.” [Psalm 15:1-2]

“I look to no on else in heaven;
I delight in nothing else on earth (but) God forever.”
“My joy lies in being close to God.” [Psalm 73: 25-26, 28]
 
The conversation in this thread is so edifying. I am a cradle catholic, but I like the joy, the zeal, and the vibrant faith of the new converts! Thank you.
 
The german word for what you are feeling is called Sehnsucht and it is the longing in your heart which will never be totally satisfied on this Earth. It is essentially our longing for God and reminds me of Augustine’s phrase “You have made us for yourself O Lord and our hearts are restless till they rest in thee.”
