Thank You all

Just be honest with her…say a prayer before you call her and break the great news to her that you are following God now. By the way, do you have a Brown Scapular or a religious medal, such as a Sacred Heart medal or 4 way medal? It may be a good idea to buy one and everytime you are tempted, grab that chain and hold that medal and say a little prayer to the Holy Spirit for strength to remain free of temptation.

:extrahappy: **By the way, Congratulations!!! Welcome home! WE (your new CAF friends) are so proud of you!!! :yup: :clapping: :extrahappy: ** Also, visits to the Blessed Sacrament such as Adoration will tremendously help you stay on the right path, I am sure of this!!! Find a parish that has Adoration and you can go there anytime, day or night…

She callled my cell, I didnt answer.

Congrat

That’s the step in the right direction.
not respond to the temptation.

Say a quick prayer to the Holy Spirit to grant you wisdom when you talk to her.

Say a quick prayer to the Holy Spirit to grant you perseverance in your journey.

Don’t worry about stumpling along the way.
Just remember that Jesus’ graces will help you up.

God bless

I just got back from my first confession in over 30-40 years. I talked to you all in the thread I made about clothes for church.

I was in with the priest like 20 minutes. He asked about all the marriages and started with the ten commandments. After pouring my heart out to him. He said some prayer, then He gave me my pennance.

5 hail Mary’s???
I said to him " You mean I dont have to say a 100 rosarys? He smiled and said, " Son, Welcome back"

I stood next to my motorcycle in the parking lot, looked up at the sky, and cried. I dont cry! It was like a huge boulder was taken off my shoulders.

Tommorrow, I will be going to my first Mass (8 am) in forever. I will receive Communion too. I cant believe I went today. Everyone who responded to my plea in my last thread, gave me the courage to go today.

THANK YOU…THANK YOU…THANK YOU!!!
God bless you all.

Now just get yourself the “Pieta Prayer Book” and you will be all set, here is whats in it:

She callled my cell, I didnt answer. She called later and I said I was shining my bike. So we never hooked up.

What I need to do is just tell her its over. I cant keep lying and avoiding. I need to be straight up with her.

I know what I am doing is wrong. The 10th commandment. Keeping her on a string.
I can handle this. Whoa…I am not used to this. Normally we would be together then go about our normal lives. Not anymore.

I think I’m falling in love with you…
You done good, brother! Any woman who is worthy of the “new” you will love you for your faithfullness to God first!

The portion of this thread dealing with Liturgy & Sacraments has drawn to a close and thus so has this thread. Perhaps continuing subsequent developments in the Moral Theology Forum may be more appropriate. Many thanks to all who contributed.
