Hello All. I have been learning and growing with the Roman Catholic Church for nearly 4-7 years since high school. I am having a problem and would like your help or advice. My family are Protestant/Pentecostal (Prosperity Gospel), and they are forcing me against by free will to get baptise in their church and in their religion. So, there is no way getting out of it. I made a promise several years ago that I will one day go through the Rite of Christian Initation for Adults (RCIA) and and join the Catholic Church family. I have received wisdom from the Catholic teachings, EWTN/Mother Angelica that spoke to several life situations I was facing, especially accepting and embracing having a learning disability. Mother Angelica’s Live had a program regarding disability that spoke to me. Unfortunately, my parents doesn’t support my decision to become Catholic. They won’t let me attend Mass nor any Catholic event or watch/read anything Catholic. They do not even acknowledge my disability saying “it is from the devil and is a part of witchcraft and occultism, and is a curse”. They also say this to my brother who has autism. They just want us to be permanently healed of disability. I watch the National Shrine TV Mass every Sunday morning in another room before going to the parents’ church. I also read Catholic literature on my own time. I am not comfortable being baptise in a different faith because I made a promise to myself to join the Catholic Church. The timing isn’t right (parents are forcing me to be baptise within the second week of March 2017). What should I do? I am 25 years of age and a female. My parents do not give free will to do anything or me to make own decisions. They force me every morning to attend their church which is titled “Winner’s Chapel International” which an all-African church and I never felt I truly belonged there. I always felt during my time in high school, catholic, and being a part of the college’s catholic club that I belong with the Catholic Church.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom in your life’s choices.
 
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us, and increase your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments, we might not despair nor become despondent,
but with great confidence, submit ourselves to your holy will,
which is Love and Mercy itself.
Amen.
 
Praying for your situation. Note that a Baptist baptism is considered valid as long as it follows the Trinitarian method. So if you do get baptized there it is normally considered valid in the Catholic Church. And then you could go through rcia later if you wish and be confirmed into the Catholic Church. Just remember if you do get baptized there more is happening in your baptism than what the baptists believe about it. They believe it is just a statement of faith before others. Catholics believe it is more than that, but that it is a visible sign of an invisible impartation of God’s grace and Holy Spirit, that occurs during baptism. And that it is where your sins are literally washed away through the blood of Jesus. See 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 22:16, Rom 6:3-5, Col 2:11-12, Mark 16:16.
 
Praying for you …

Divine Mercy Chaplet

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Praying for your parent’s understanding to honor your wishes and not force you to do what you don’t want to do. Praying for the Holy Spirit to guide you.
 
Hi Dancer,
Even if you are baptized in your parents’ church, you will still be received one day into the RCC. Catholics acknowledge “one baptism, one faith” in Christ. So don’t worry too much about that.
You are old enough to make your own decisions, but find a way to respect your parents’ house & rules. That said, can you move out and in with another relative? Or friend?
You must find a way to be strong and move on with your life. Talk with an adult or former teacher you trust and make a plan. Pray for freedom, both physically and spiritually, from this. Make your plan, then do it! It will be very scary at first, but it will get better I promise!
God bless you,
Guardian Angel, guide you,
Saints preserve you, St. Michale the Archangel, defend you.
Amen!
Michelle
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (dancer7777), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

You are 25 which makes you an adult ,
You are old & wise enough to make your own choices ,
Living at home with your parents makes it really tough on you ,
The only practical thing you can do is ask them would they like you to be an adult that can make up her own mind , one day they won’t be around to guide you ,
How will you know what is and isn’t a wise choice when your alone ?
Wouldn’t it be a good idea if you could grow &. Learn to make your own adult choices ,
And as an adult you choose to go the way your heart is directing you,
You respect the choices that they had made , and they should give you some space to make choices for yourself
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Gracious and Holy Father,
Please give me:
intellect to understand you,
reason to discern you,
diligence to seek you,
wisdom to find you,
a spirit to know you,
a heart to meditate upon you,
ears to hear you,
eyes to to see you,
a tongue to proclaim you,
a way of life pleasing to you,
patience to wait for you
and perseverance to look for you.

Grant me a perfect end,
your holy presence,
a blessed resurrection
and life everlasting.

Amen.

The Divine Mercy Chaplet intentions for today, Monday, February 27, 2017, are those of the threads am posting at today.

**Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

España: 1515—1582)**

I’m praying that the Blessed Virgin, our Mother, would most powerfully assist you in your walk with Christ and these trials…
