In the past year I have made a journey, I consider, remarkable. 16 months ago, I was anti-christian. I am now a catholic catechumen and being confirmed at pentecoast, hopefully. When I look at the journey, I really just want to say thanks. This forum has helped me immensly over the 16 months. ( I was a long time watcher before I made an account)

I now have a lovely parish I go to, which I look forward to every week. I have a parish priest, who I believe couldn’t be any better at what he does. I have supportive Catholic friends and peers, who have welcomed me, and supported me continuously. I can’t imagine my life right now, if I had not come to the Church. I really can’t.

A big thank-you from me, and God Bless.

What a blessing to find His Church! I was just thinking how radical Catholics are. It does violence to the natural mind to suggest that Christ is present in the Eucharist…But it is such cutting-edge physics. Everywhere I look the Church has a treasure trove of insight unfolding before me. And it is “foolishness” as St. Paul said. What a miracle we can grasp God’s nature and workings, with heaven being the only thing God said was unimaginable. Blessings on you and on us all to continue to grow in loving God and all His works.

I believe your are perfect in God’s sight, whether the rest of us wish to amuse ourselves by criticizing your writing skills. 😉

Thank you for coming and sharing your story and your gratitude. :tiphat:

It means a lot to me, and is just what I needed to hear just now. If you only knew, words couldn’t describe what you have done for me. :thankyou:

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I am glad that you have allowed the Lord Jesus to bring you home to the Catholic faith!
 
First and foremost - - WELCOME HOME

Second - and on behalf of all here, you are welcome. It is not by our efforts that this has come about but by the efforts of the Holy Spirit working through all here as CAF.
But even more it is the result of your response to the call of God and opening yourself up to His grace.

Congratulations.

Peace
James
 
The saints and the angels are rejoicing. I am so excited when I think of all of the fired up Catholics I’ve come across in the last few months. Converts and especially agnostics, atheists, skeptics, and anti-christians make great Catholics once the Holy Spirit reaches into their heart and draws them home.

Welcome home and God bless you.

Good on you cobber!

Don’t know why you are complaining about your own writing skills. You write pretty good English…for a Crow Eater! 😃
