All this talk about end times, is it too late for someone to turn back to God after being lapsed?

Don’t worry about the end times. I’m the poster boy of the prodigal son. It’s never too late to return to God.

If you’re still breathing, it’s not too late.

I would not worry about the end times, only God knows when that will be. We must worry about our own end times, when we die, so our time to change is RIGHT NOW!All this talk about end times, is it too late for someone to turn back to God after being lapsed?

The only time it is too late is when a person has given up on God for whatever reason.

As long as you are alive, it’s not too late!
Mortimer Adler converted when he was 98.
Pranzini, a notorious murderer of 3 woman, one only 12 years old, refused confession, but led right up to the guillotine, he paused, then asked the priest for his crucifix. He kissed the crucifix before his death. St Terese of Lisieux, then only 14, had begged for his pardon from God and asked for a sign that this had/would happen. So, just one step from death, he repented…
Consider too the story of the Good Thief.

Well, it seems the reward is the same for those that come at the final hour(11th hour in the parable, Matt 20,1-16) as for those that have been there from the beginning. If you’ve heard His call what are you waiting for?

Being a lapsed Catholic is an opportunity to come back. All you need is a good and honest confession to return. Peace be with you.

Whoa! Man did I feel the same way just last year.
We don’t know when the end time is coming. It’s not for us to know or worry about.
The good news is your asking the question, which to me just means God is tugging at your heart or your mind to come back now! Jump in. Let go and Let God!
I was a lapsed Catholic and when I started feeling that tug last summer. I was scared. How could God forgive me? Why would He bother with me? Throughout the week I would drive my nephew to his football practice and past my church along the way. Should I try to go in? Nope! Not today. That went on for a while until til I did!
I’m not going to sugar coat it. I was nervous and shaking as I walked through the door. I happened across a group of people in a bible study and was just hit with the most relaxing feeling ever. Everything just lightened up for me and I was able to ask them “I’d like to talk to someone about coming back to church.” They stopped what they were doing, One man stood up put his hand on my shoulder and walked me over to see our Deacon. We chatted for a little while and he invited me to go to confession with our priest…and the rest has been wonderful.
I’ve got so far to go but when you find out that you are not the only one…there are others that were just like you…You are welcome to come on in. Just knock:thumbsup:
Praying for you marypiopadre! May God Bless You!

It is never too late! Remember Saint Dismus, the good thief? If he had believed it was too late for him and said nothing to Jesus, who knows if paradise would have been his immediate destination as it turned out!All this talk about end times, is it too late for someone to turn back to God after being lapsed?

Still not too late unless the person in question is dead.The only time it is too late is when a person has given up on God for whatever reason.
