As a former atheist myself, I will pray for you and your intentions. May God allow you to absorb the lightness around him, and may He guide you into the religious lifestyle. God bless you, friend. Amen
 
:gopray:

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

Wow really buddy? Why didn’t you tell me about this? I mean I thought you said–nah. Never mind.

I’ll pray for you. Sure. But deal with this fairly, hey? I mean put in the effort too. It’s not just all on us. It won’t work that way. You actually have to do some of the work.

Actually? You have to do MOST of the work. All we can do is grease the wheels. But you’ve got to turn the crank. You’ve got to get the motor started. You can’t just sit back in your nice soft chair and let us carry you somewhere.

This is a walking road.

Some even do it on their knees.

Peace Jel.

Your younger brother,

Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,

and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
 
Jelrak TB,
how goes it my friend?..what’s the news?
you are still in my thoughts and Rosary intentions…
Thank you for the prayers…I cannot yet report on any great stirring of feeling at this time, however I have reason to understand this would take some time and that too careful a scrutiny might yield conflicting reports…I will advise of anything clear and concise…thank you again.

I did not wish to trouble you with this request for perhaps somewhat obvious reasons…but thank you for your attention to this matter…

As for effort on my part, would not the creation of this thread be sufficient? Further, I have attended Mass on the past two Sundays…we shall see if ‘God’ may have yet noticed, yes?

I am glad you are doing well, my good Trident. We do miss your posts at the other site…have you spoken much to KQ? She seems to have vanished after her failed attempt at reconciliation…I wonder if she might need some further support at this time…? I have not reached out to her for having gained a sense that she might not, at this time, appreciate any further great words of ‘wisdom’ I may have the ability to impart…yet I do feel for her plight just the same…

Kind regards,

Jelrak TB

Ah. Sorry for being a bit forgetful. But what reasons exactly? I don’t remember them being all that obvious. 😉

I mean it’s your soul. Get help where you want.

But it’s too late to stop me now. 😉

So you made the effort to find a good show for the kids to watch by turning on the TV and flipping through 3 channels? Good start maybe. But no, not full on commitment. Where’s your prayer log? Are you even just saying grace? How about you try that? A quick thanks to the ‘universe’ for food. Only replace universe for God. 👍

Oh. KQ’s kinda gone into a bit of a spiral of no feeling. I mean I’ve talked to her since. But she’s really not the same. I mean we used to have the greatest time with our back and forth. But now she’s all one-liners. And single words. I think some real heart’s gone out of her. It sort of makes me too sad to hang out with her online much. I mean I still try. But she gives like she has no pulse. And yeah. She sort of blames you a bit. I mean I know it’s not right. I know you had nothing to do with how things would end up. But she’s got to blame 1 of 2 right? Or maybe 2 of 3? But never him. Only you and me. That’s about what I figure the score is now. Maybe she figures we sunk her ship. I don’t know. But the thing is it was already on the bottom of the sea. All we did was bring a picnic lunch and try to get her to see it down there already. All we tried to do was bring reason to the unreasonable in that situation. But what can you do? So no. I don’t think she’s coming back anytime soon.

And I’ve been a bit shy of that place because of the way newcomers get rounded up and branded so soon after touchdown. I sort of never seem to be quick enough to save any of them. So it makes me feel a bit bad to read about what happened after it’s already too late to make it unhappen. I don’t know. I guess I’ll always be a bit too strong feeling like that. But I mean I do still check in. Just not as often.

Peace Jel. And I’m praying again for you today.

St. 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 thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.
 
I am wondering if you would mind praying for my conversion? I seem to have no manner of reaching any spiritual depth and appear incapable of doing so on my own.

At issue is a fairly straightforward lack of belief…yet realizing same is not bringing with it any peace or joy I would humbly ask a handful of prayers to see if such a thing might move the needle somewhat.

This may not come to any meaningful fruition, however, I would not be able to honestly claim to have tried all avenues without making this simple request.

I appreciate any efforts you might expend on my behalf and apologize in advance if it might prove futile…

I will attempt to provide an update at a future date.
I have no problem praying for you. But please stop condescending toward religious people.

We are praying for you, but you might also want to consider asking God himself to help you with a conversion. (You can even say: God, if you exist, please help me with a conversion and a belief in you.) We can pray, but you yourself need to take some kind of action.
 
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.

Ah. Sorry for being a bit forgetful. But what reasons exactly? I don’t remember them being all that obvious. 😉
As this is primarily a prayer thread I will issue you a private message instead.
I mean it’s your soul. Get help where you want.

Very good…

I will see…this is not as straightforward in my mind as you seem to imply…however, it may not hurt to make such an effort…

I suspect this may necessarily be the case…yet it is not simply done. However, if others may be willing to make this effort of praying on my behalf, perhaps it might not be so great a task for me to venture an occasional prayer as you have described…certainly it might be considered the most honest approach…

Thank you for the advice.
