Thank you so much. Glad I get to share this with everyone. This is one of many articles of truth that bring my senses back to the Catholic Church. I could not believe how far left behind I was in term of the Catholic Church history but now I know and will never never let go. My daughter received her first Holy Communion yesterday and my husband who was former Baptist was there too. He has been in the Catholic family for two years now. We both were very emotional yesterday but we try to hold back our tears. I saw my husband’s eyes red due to trying to hold up his tears but I know.I agree…great posts…![]()
Tears of happiness seeing our first born received her First Holy Communion. My husband wondering why he wants to cry and I told him that is the Holy Spirit that touches your heart. And actually I am still in the moment of yesterday, memory that will last forever. My husband always get emotional every time we at MASS though he never really talk about it with me but one thing I do know the Holy Spirit is with him as if God saying to him…I am here and I am the one that you are looking for do not let your heart be trouble…this is your home. I reassured him last night that you are on the right tract and God speaks and shine His light and the truth through our children because the first reason he wants to become Catholic is because of our Children and that is a very big sacrifice on his part. He is learning everyday. When I am slacking a little bit he is the one that pushing me and reminds me about the Church teaching and so on.
RCIA is just the beginning and he continues to learn the faith by living it and living in the faith. Living and learning the faith and practice the faith does not stop when you finish RCIA it is a continuous journey there will be ups and downs for sure but we have each other and our faith in the Catholic Church and her teachings that will continuously helping us to get through our difficult time. I know and I believe that Jesus Christ our Lord our God will be always there to catch us when we fall.
I pray for those who have family like ours (two different set of belief) so that each and everyone will find their common ground, look at your children and learn from them.
Luke
14 This man, I tell you, went home again justified; the other did not. For everyone who raises himself up will be humbled, but anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.’ Jesus and the children
15 People even brought babies to him, for him to touch them; but when the disciples saw this they scolded them.
16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
17 In truth I tell you, anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my love to all of you no matter who you may be Catholic or non Catholic. Jesus teaches us to love one another. There is nothing more beautiful than being able to love one another just as Christ taught us. We may have differences in term of our belief but there is nothing that can separated us from the love of God.
God bless you all. I ask this in Jesus name. AMEN!
