Last Easter Vigil (2017) I finally converted. Realizing that Confirmation required making statements that become a reaffirmation of one’s baptismal promises, and being a man of my word, I decided to fully embrace my conversion and, because I made a promise of Catholic faith, that means having no doubt.

Afterwards, I’ve been going to Mass as many days as possible, very often in the mid-week. Doing this gave me that faith feeling/inspiration I needed to keep the holy spirit acting in me and, the more I went, the easier it became. Finally I can say that I believe in God, the Trinity, and know that loving feeling I needed to accept my new life. My friends are totally baffled by it, and I answer their questions, but I’m now firm in my conviction, though I don’t preach to anyone.

Faith in God, for me, is wonderful…

God is in the miracle business and miracles never cease! A lifelong atheist has become Catholic. I’m so very happy for you, HarveyL. May God richly bless you! :blessyou:
 
Welcome home, Harvey! 😃

At this point you are in the “honeymoon” stage of embracing the faith. You can expect, though, to go through trails and temptations as time goes on because such things test our faith and strengthen it when we trust in God.

I wish you every happiness and blessing within Christ’s Church. :crossrc:
