Will God forgive me?

Hi all,

Thanks for all your replies. I have few things need to share with you:
I grew up in a polytheist family where my father is polytheist and my mom is “cafeteria” catholic. I didn’t have any friends who have strong faith in Catholicism. To make the matter worse, many of my “Catholic” friends were believe in astrology, fung shui, praying to certain “God”. Given this “unideal” situation, I admit that this is only God’s grace to lead me back to God. I always thanks God for that.
I am living in HK. It is a place where the western and eastern culture mix together. In here, there are many people believing in Roman Catholicism. It is very easy to buy books in Roman Catholic (with much cheaper price). Unlike Chrisitans living in the West, we are required to learn how to accomodate a lot of things such as chinese customs and religions that contradicts our beliefs. However, these conflicts, in my opinion, can make our faith grow and practice Christian Virtue such as “Love you neighbor”.
There are six million Catholics living in the mainland China. They are so thirsty for reading books in Spirituality, but they don’t have easy access to many Christian literatures. I saw they try so hard and do so many things just want to know more about Jesus! Their faith is very strong.

Anyway, please pray for our brothers and sisters in the mainland China, especially priests working in China. They are now facing oppression from the government and they have put many priests into prison. I beg all of the prayer warriors in this forum, pray for them.

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 among 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 death.

Amen.

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

Amen.
