My last Mass as a catechumen on Good Friday
The words kept ringing as a constant reminder: My people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me!
Tomorrow night, I am baptized & join the body of Christ
I'm so excited to become a fellow brother in Christ.
I just realized everything begins tonight.
I've literally waited like 3 years for this week.
In a couple days, my family will be members of the Catholic Church.
Baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist feast was as amazing as I had imagined.
I also saw all the support and am simply overwhelmed.
Thank you and God Bless βοΈ
Is there an Old Testament version of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible?
In college, I was not Catholic yet would read one chapter a night including all the notes associated with the chapter. This habit was significant in my conversion.
@JoshuaTCharles
Luckily, I was a bad Protestant.
During COVID, I started watching Christian content constantly. Mike Winger was one. Fr Mike Bible.
I'd attribute both to my Catholic conversion.
Mostly, John 6.
After reading John 6 I declared myself Catholic.
Apparently, 5Solas despises our Lord's Passion so he censored it...
Truly sad.
Remember, your life is worth a kings ransom. Cherish it by worshiping HIMβοΈ
I literally became Roman Catholic simply by reading the Bible.
And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.
The first time I truly understood this passage, I cried. π₯Ή
There is not a single person in all of existence who would pick up a Bible, read it and then become Roman Catholic. Not a single person. That's how foreign to scripture Rome's teachings are.
@SecretFire79
When your entire religion started from hating the one true apostolic church, it can only be beta.
No true Christian would devalue Our Mother.

Realism is the worst style of comics art because it usually looks very stiff and static. Manga basically took Kirby and jacked that style to 11. Which is more fun?

The problem with your argument is not every state is no fault divorce so you can't trust the person filing for divorce. They will say anything that will get the divorce approved.
@TaylorRMarshall
I don't know if these are real people or trolls but I've literally seen cradle Catholics in comment sections claim that converts from Protestantism are not real Catholics.
I'm happy for picking a welcoming parish with dedicated priests.

To the people arguing we don't know Judas salvation
True, but
The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.β
Just sayin
@Sachinettiyil
I will soon be received into the church and I'm just as excited for the Peterson family. Hopefully Jordan will join his wife Tammy soon.
Tonight was truly the best night for RCIA
One hour we learned about the meaning of Holy Week
And the next hour we went over the function of the Easter Vigil π°π£
The reality of baptism is forefront and I'm truly excited
Next week I'll be among my brothers & sisters in Christ βοΈ

It felt stale because the people drawing it made it stale. If you look at those comics in the 80s they don't have the grace that Romita drew in ASM.
Before Stations of the Cross started, I read the Foreward with the prompt.
This sentence made everything I'm doing come together:
The Passion, Death, and Resurrection is the new Passover.
This is why we are Catholic
I just received a confirmation gift from
@douglasernst
and, of course, a statue of the ideal family is perfect.
I'd consider Doug a mentor and he helped guide me towards the church.
Thank you, is not nearly enough. π

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
...And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
@Catholic_bro
A. The bible app is on my phone...
B. The Mass readings are in the Missal...
What is this goober going on about?
Also note: on my YouTube channel I've been reading the Bible since September. I do that to encourage others to read the bible. Not as some odd gotcha or flex.
Jon Del Arroz claims I'm attacking him. I don't even think about him.
Last year, I would read the Bible & livestream. For some reason, JDA decided to mock me.
What sane person does this?
Yet, Doug Ernst buying me a gift is somehow making a mockery of JDA...π€
He is weird.
@Truth_matters20
I'm actually fleeing to the Catholic Church.
I'm going to be baptized Easter Sunday and I'll be confirmed into the church.
Would you attend as my guess if I invited you?
Today, I received a confirmation gift
@SumpKun
He has been a good friend for years
Tim Lim turned me onto Jimmy Atkin during deployment.
I asked him "How to join Catholicism?" Tim responded with "Go to Mass" and I've passed that advice forward to others. πβοΈ
Thanks a lot.β₯οΈ

My father is in good spirits considering he is dying of cancer. I brought him a rosary and stayed till confession. I really appreciate everyone's posts and prayers yesterday.
He would have as well. β€οΈ
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church
Hopefully, she cherishes this memento as much as I cherish her. This rosary represents our life together born again in Christ. βοΈ
Thanks to
@TheMistressB
She made this rosary and provided a great service.

I became Catholic listening to the Bible in a year podcast and it was not my intention. I was listen to a variety of Christian content.
@TaylorRMarshall
Thank you, Taylor Marshall
Your guidance in videos helped strengthen my mindset towards the church last year
I remember the continual mantra "do not leave the Catholic church"
And in these troubling times, you need reassurance
Melanie Mac got tired of me pointing out many of her inconsistencies.
Were some petty? Maybe.
She bible thumps and uses slurs while doing it.
Melanie's message is toxic and not fruitful.
Review: Arc Athena 4
The drama & action hit a high point making this issue a page turner. The only fault I can lay on
@EricCanete
is I wanted more comic.
I guess Arc Athena 5 coming soon.
Iconic Comics for the win.
A distinguishing fact is that once Jesus appeared, He struck history with such impact that He split it in two, dividing it into two periods: one before His coming, the other after it.--Fulton J Sheen

@TaylorRMarshall
The first time I heard Mary was Queen of Heaven it only sounded weird to me because of our conventional view of the Queen being the wife of the King.
So I looked the answer up on the internet and read the Bible passage.
It appears many people are lazy.
I chose Saint Stephen as my confirmation saint.
He is the best.
I get emotional reading Acts 7 because he imitated Christ so perfectly
Hopefully, at some point, I can have the conviction, bravery, & empathy Saint Stephen the Martyr displayed
But had I, myself, really ever dared to step into the center, kneel down, and let myself be held by a forgiving God?--Henri J.M. Nouwen
Note: My baptism is upon us and the Easter Vigil has commenced.
I looked at the Hail Mary prayer completely different after learning about Douay Rheims Genesis 3:15
In terms of powerful prayers, Our Father is a summary of the Gospel and Hail Mary is the fulfillment of the promise God made to humanity.
Alright, I'm detoxing from this site this weekend.

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. π

@Sachinettiyil
That's exactly what happened in our family. I asked my wife to become Catholic and now we attend Mass every Sunday. We are to be baptized on Easter.
Please pray for us. π
I'd appreciate prayers for my father. I've been visiting him every day and he will probably pass soon, this weekend or next week.
My 17 yo brother is also taking it rough.
My father was moved to hospice care today and is excited about the move. He is eating better. We went to see him and spent the time watching John Wick.
He kept mentioning chemo treatment even though that is never happening.
I'm sure he is simply trying to stay positive.

Nobody has ever shoplifted to help poor people. There are literally churches and soup kitchens in every city in America. Is this nonsense bait or do they actually believe this nonsense?
