I went to Mass this morning before work for Ash Wednesday and upon coming to work I had 2 co workers ask me what was on my face. Lol, It opened a nice conversation up about Ash Wednesday and the lent season. Then at our morning meeting my GM asked me to explain to everyone what
PRAYER REQUEST:
I picked up a woman last night while driving for Uber who was homeless and addicted to Fentanyl and Meth. I asked her if she believed in God, and she said she struggles to believe in God but she wants to. I told her about Our Lady and shared with her my own story
URGENT PRAYER REQUEST:
My cousin Cedric is 20 years old. He grew up in a single mother household around drug addicts and abusers his whole life. He’s never ever heard the gospel. His father abandoned him as a child and is a homeless drug addict who’s been in and out of prison
I haven’t worn a skirt since I was a very small child. I never thought in a million years that I’d ever wear one again! Something about this Easter though made me go on the hunt for the perfect traditional Easter Mass outfit.
The coolest thing, is that my mom and I got to bond
Today is my last day as a non catholic. I am going to spend my entire last night as a non catholic in front of the blessed sacrament. A full 8 hours with our Lord in prayer and reflection thru the night into the morning as I prepare for my confirmation tomorrow.
In 3 days on March 19th the feast day of St Joseph, it will have been 1 year since God transformed my life at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Some say miracles don’t happen the way they did in Bible times. But that’s not true.
I was living an active LGBTQ lifestyle on my way
You know, if I could go back and do it all again… without the trauma and the ignorance. I’d be a wife. I’d have children. Sometimes I ask God to still consider me for the path of marriage… but ultimately it’s up to Him. I always imagined myself having a family with kids. But I
Just to be clear, even when I was living an active homosexual lifestyle before Christ came into my heart and changed me. Before I found my home in the Catholic Church where I now live a happily chaste life.
I never once grew up feeling I needed more representation in the public
There is no such thing as an LGBTQ Catholic. Doesn’t exist. LGBTQ is a political movement that propagates the acceptance of a morality that contradicts the Catholic faith. It’s a new religion. There are Catholics who struggle with same sex attraction; who bear their cross like
I wonder how many of these priests consider how their lack of charity and mercy towards the pope or LGBTQ Catholics and their families, or women, have driven scores of lay people to the verge of throwing it all in.
I talk to a lot of Catholics who never go to adoration and that is wild to me. I say that, because while I was on my journey to becoming Catholic, I had nothing but the rosary and adoration to lean on before I could officially partake in the sacraments.
Sometimes I question if
As someone with same sex attraction, I am profoundly grateful to my traditional Latin Mass family for never lying to me. For caring enough about my soul to tell me the truth. For always loving me and welcoming me into the church, and for holding me to the same standard as
I use to think this too. That I was born gay. Mostly because it’s the first lie the devil ever told me. Secondly because that lie was mirrored back to me in a society of people who also believed in the same lie.
But to say that you are born gay is to fundamentally undermine
Can I ask for prayers for a very special old couple named, Audrey & Dale? They came to my apartment a few weeks ago trying to convert me to Jehovahs Witness. They came back today to have another talk and I shared with them my conversion story to Catholicism. When I got to the
Please pray for 36 hour old Baby Dean (the child of the daughter of a friend of ours from Church).
He may have Strep B, his oxygen levels are very low and he might not make it!
They are working feverishly to stabilize him!
Please pray she pass this on!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
My best friend was raised Catholic but no longer is Catholic. We just spent the day together and I shared with him my conversion story. He still looks at me sideways because he’s never seen me with longer hair, haha. At the end of our visit, he hugged me and started to cry saying
God has changed my life in a way that I know is incomprehensible for most in the gay community and secular world at large to digest. I either get angry responses from people who see that I have chosen to leave my gay lifestyle behind to follow Christ, or I get people who feel sad
The Eucharist amazes me. We have all these people who love, Jesus and yet they have no idea that he’s physically in the church. Growing up protestant I never once heard of the Eucharist, yet all this time he’s been here. I get so emotional when I sit with him… you can feel him
God has changed my life in a way that I know is incomprehensible for most in the secular world to digest. I understand why you feel sad for me. You think I’ve lost something. You think I’ve given up the part of me that makes me intrinsically ME. How could I ever be happy if I let
Yesterday I officially consecrated myself to Our Lady. I did a 33 day preparation for consecration and was officially consecrated on Feb 11th Feast day of Our lady of Lourdes.
I want to say a special thank you to St. Bernadette for being one of the main inspirations for me to do
There is no such thing as an LGBT Catholic. It doesn’t exist. LGBT is a political movement that propagates the acceptance of an ideology that contradicts the Catholic faith. It’s a new religion.

Best news I’ve heard all day! Praise God! Baby Joseph is ok and finally got to go home from the hospital yesterday! Thank you to everyone who said a prayer for baby, Joseph! Thank you Mother Mary and St Joseph for your prayers! What a beautiful baby boy 🙏🏻❤️
One year ago today, Our Lord called me home. Like a good and loving father, he gently wiped the scales from my eyes so that I may see all of which I had previously been blinded by.
He held me as I wept. For I had never in my life felt such a love as Him. It’s the kind of love
You wanna know something crazy? Last night I went into the church to say hi to Jesus really quick before going to spend time with one of my friends from my parish. I ended up having a unique moment with St Joseph instead. It was so weird (in a good way). I was staring at the
Ooof. From a very young age, this Protestant belief led me down a very dark path in life.

I grew up believing this because it’s what I was taught (my dad is now Catholic, and my mom is becoming Catholic, and they are thankful they now know the truth as
I don’t understand this man. I try to be charitable, but as someone with same sex attraction, this is very personal for me. To know that God led me to the doors of his church almost 1 year ago, and showed me who he was. Instantly, I chose to follow him. I knew the sacrifices I
New: "How same-sex couples have blessed me." Lost in the discussion about priests blessing same-sex couples, is how these couples bless the church. They have certainly blessed me.
Guys, pray the rosary every single day! You have no idea the power you are delaying over the transformation of your life! This is so incredibly humbling and beautiful!
Something happened to me too recently…. I had my very first crush on a man. I share this because it has
The truth is the most loving thing that you can give to someone. The truth can be hard though. Painful for both the deliverer of truth, as well as the receiver of truth.
I engaged with a lot of Catholics over the past week who disagreed with my take on “LGBTQ” Catholics. Many
This year will be my first lent as a Roman Catholic. As I’ve been preparing myself for lent, I’m trying my best to discern what God is asking of me to give up for it. I don’t want to be the one to choose which thing I should give up the most. I want HIM to tell me. He knows me
God comes to those who ask. This was my experience too. Sometimes I look back on my life and pinch myself, like wow… I really follow, Jesus now. How wild is that?
Never in a million years did I think this would be my path, yet here we are. Thank you Lord for showing me a plan
I’m always baffled by Hollywoods depiction of the demonic. I will tell you why. Growing up, I used to enjoy watching scary movies! When you watch enough of them, you sort of start to feel informed as to how these things work.
I heard my entire childhood about the warning of
From transgender to Roman Catholic.
I made this artwork to symbolize my journey!

I have it on my heart to ask for prayers from everyone who reads this post to please pray for Fr James Martin.
Imagine if we could change the church from within, through the intercession of Our Lady?
It’s our duty as Catholics to pray …. For everyone 🙏🏻❤️
Please pray for me on this Divine Mercy Sunday 🙏🏻 If I can pray for you, please add your prayers below. No matter how many, I will pray for them all.
This is my prayer spot… I add more to it all the time. It’s a beautiful spot in my apartment that constantly reminds me of Our
I’d love to marry a strong Catholic man someday (strong in morals and virtue that is), make some babies, and be a home maker. There is something innately in me that desires to care for children and a husband.
It’s so crazy to me that through the influence of trauma, worldly
When I was living an active lifestyle in the LGBTQ community prior to becoming Catholic, I would see this kind of behavior a lot.
Many of my gay friends or our so called, “allies” would claim, “hate” whenever someone would say anything remotely challenging to their world view.
The Latin Mass was so full today, it was wonderful! The Latin Mass is always packed, but today it was off the hook! It was my 1st Palm Sunday as a Confirmed Roman Catholic!
People always to tell me that I converted to Catholicism at what seems to be the worst time because of all the chaos and confusion that seems to be happening within the church. But if they only knew the levels to which the chaos and confusion occur outside the church, they would
Please pray for five-year-old boy named Michael. He had a heart attack two months ago was without oxygen for a while and has been in the hospital in the semi conscious state for two months. Let’s ask for a miracle for this little guy!
The Latin Mass is where God showed me he was real. It was the first time in my life that I knew with absolute certainty that there was indeed a God and that he was the truth I had been looking for my whole entire life. I walked in the parish that day a skeptic, and left a full
The moment I first attended the Latin Mass, my first impression was "depth." It was haunting, captivating, soothing, romantic, shocking, and peaceful all at once. Its ancient character had a history and meaning worth a lifetime exploring.
You wanna know why prayer and penance is so vital for the conversion of souls? Because the sin in our modern world is so astronomical that our intellects are dead! Even if some wanted to know the truth, we have been so dumbed down due to sin, that we have lost the ability to
Please pray for all the kids who struggle with trans identity issues. They have been deceived. The evil attached to this movement is so incredibly heavy. The weight of it is almost unbearable at times. But I trust Our Lord. Please wipe the scales from their eyes so they can see.
I ask for your urgent prayers right now for 2 young children that I know, who I just found out are being turned trans by their parent. These kids are young.
Please pray for the parent that is doing this to them too. The world is very sick right now. We must pray, do penance,
This is very interesting to me. I had the same exact experience after my conversion to the Catholic faith.
I was in therapy twice a week before my conversion and now I only go twice a month. My therapist says that I no longer even meet the criteria for any of the previous
I used to go to therapy twice a week & “meetings” almost daily.
Now that I’m converted, I only go twice a month.
It was my therapist who told me to stop coming as often. She—rather perplexed—conceded my conversion has healed many of my wounds.
Jesus is the divine physician
Every high Latin Mass that I attend, I am absolutely overtaken by its beauty. I have yet to attend one where I haven’t actually bawled my eyes out. I know it seems weird, but I can’t help myself. I’m so overcome by the absolute beauty that it just happens. Thankfully wearing a
I’m down 3 pants sizes since the start of lent 😮 That’s amazing… but only the start.
I’ve struggled with my weight for a very long time. Mostly after I got put on anti depressant medication many years ago and it made me gain about 50lbs in 2 months. (I don’t take any
It’s time…
Welcome to the greatest love story the world has, and ever will know.
I cannot even fathom this kind of love, but I sure am trying.
Thank you, Abba 🙏🏻 I don’t know what else to say than…… Thank you ✝️😔😭❤️
He will not tell you how long and how hard he’s worked on this vision. But I have no problem telling you! He pours his blood sweat and tears into his work and continues to do so everyday! No one could ever say he hasn’t given his entire life to Our Lord! I’ve never in my life met
So many conversions! Seriously, they are non stop. Something is seriously happening. God is working overtime and this should bring us great hope and comfort. If you have someone you’ve been praying hard for, don’t stop!
I promise you, it’s your prayers that are likely the thing
Carnivore diet on Fridays has been challenging since I can’t eat meat on Fridays…. So today I’m finally giving salmon a try and I’m really not excited about it. But I’m hoping this slab of fish makes a fish eater out of me. Here goes nothing….

Trump looked worn out when he spoke after his conviction. I’ve never seen him look that tired. Today was sad. Never thought America would look the way it does. I think every Catholic should say a rosary for Trump tonight! A rosary for Trump and for our country.
After I got out of my second stay in rehab, I had no money or car. I went to live in a half way home where I stayed for 9 months as a way to properly re integrate into society while trying to remain clean and sober. I would take public transportation and ride my bike to and from

When I realized this, it was such a relief in so many ways. I finally had my off ramp. The feeling of attraction never was a sin, therefore—with God’s help and grace—I could still live according to God’s law in spite of my fallen attraction, and be saved.
I love God so much! But sometimes I feel like a fake for saying that, because of how much I fail. But it’s true. I am so in love with Our Lord; He is the only thing worth fighting for.
I’ve lived a lifetime of sin. My skin sometimes aches and desires everything you can imagine
When Trump first ran in 2016, I didn’t vote for him. I didn’t vote for Hillary either because I couldn’t stand her… I didn’t vote that year at all.
In 2020 I didn’t vote for Trump because I was in the throes of addiction and depression and heavily steeped in the LGBTQ

Turns out people just like real and authentic truth seeking journalism. She can keep her jump cuts and background music! I’d rather the truth.
I love playing Gregorian chant in the background as music in my home, because Fr. Ripperger says that the demons hate the Gregorian chant. Plus it’s beautiful! This is one of my favorites!
This made me cry tears of joy! Amazing! God is so good to us!
Heaven is rounding up the troops! Ever since I had my miraculous conversion to Christ, I have seen so many miraculous conversions since!
If you don’t think Our Lord performs miracles anymore then your eyes are just
🧵 ANNOUNCEMENT 🧵
I recently traveled around Europe and spent a great deal of time in Rome and Assisi. While in those two particular cities, I had what can only be described as a life-altering conversion.
I have decided to quit sex work.
To repent of my innumerable sins.
I’m working hard to instill a great morning routine for myself. I wake up at 6am, do my morning offerings and prayer (the rosary - joyful mystery, and the St Michael Chaplet) then I make my carnivore food for the day, and spend time doing a little reading for the day.
I can’t
The Latin Mass completely transformed me.
I often find it very interesting that on the day that I had my miraculous conversion to Christ at the Mass, it took place at a Latin Mass parish.
Knowing nothing about the Catholic faith or the differences between the different types
Thank you for your witness,

In a world gone mad, we love that we can count on a reverent, beautiful, and ancient liturgy.
Watching, It’s a Wonderful Life on this beautiful Christmas afternoon! I watched it last night with my family too… before midnight Mass.
It’s weird, I grew up watching this film every Christmas as a kid. It was a family tradition.
But since becoming Catholic, this film hit
There is seriously nothing better than the feeling of leaving confession. The weight lifted, the slate wiped clean. It’s truly one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given in my entire life.
I’m still new to confession though, so I’m unsure if the lead up to confession gets
I’m about to get ready for bed and say my evening rosary. Whoever needs me to pray for them in my rosary, add a comment below. When I get out of the shower and into my PJs I will check all the comments and pray for whoever left me a prayer request! You have until 9:30pm. If it’s
After Mass tonight, a man came up to me and said… I don’t mean to pry, but I noticed how intently you were praying after mass…. I will say a prayer for you. Just that sentiment alone is something I never experienced in church growing up. I thought that was very sweet and
It’s easy to attack people from behind the comfort of a computer screen…. with a fake picture and no name. Cowardice behavior.
What’s funny, is that my brother

will probably pray for you instead of feeling anger towards you for this silly and pitiful post. He,
You know, God takes what you perceive to be your greatest failure, and always turns it into your greatest success. Maybe you did fail…. Maybe you failed astronomically… and maybe you still feel guilty for that. Welcome to the club. Satan would love for you to dwell on this.
This Mass will be the last Mass I have to attend without being able to partake in the Holy Eucharist. By next Sunday, I will be confirmed into the church and will finally be able to receive all the sacraments. 6 months ago Jesus called me on a journey to come home. Almost there🙏🏻
I looked up from my prayers to see this image on my alter. I did not intentionally place them this way, but tell me this isn’t the most beautiful image to witness after meditating on the mysteries of the rosary? The Holy family, looking right back at me.
I feel like the little
I adore one of my friends so much! Lol! He’s not religious at all so he uses the Lords name in vain from time to time…but he knows how I feel about using the Lords name in vain because when I first became Catholic I struggled with this very thing, and he used to hear me say

If I can ask for everyone’s prayers today. Maybe if a few people can offer up a rosary for my Aunt that’s going into a very high risk surgery today that could take up to 14 hours to remove a cancerous tumor I would be very grateful for that. Her name is Sandra, and she’s been
We cannot change people or force them to see the truth. We do not have that power. Only God can change the heart of man. Our job is to be truthful, gracious, and as Christ like as we can. Aka, be strong and faithful Catholics. The answer to changing more hearts is to work as hard
Why are you projecting? You’re missing major chunks of the point if this was your take away, Meg. His speech is utterly beautiful. We need more women to be women and men to be men. A woman has her own God given role, and a Man has his. When the two come together for the glory of
The sad thing is he thinks he’s honoring her by this speech. But saying her life didn’t start until she became his wife and baby mama is such a slap in the face. You, man, are not the center of the universe. And you never will be.
Sometimes God allows us to struggle a bit. Like a child learning to ride a bike with no training wheels… we wobble along trying to maintain our balance…. But he’s right along side of us, ready to catch us if we fall.
Faith is knowing and remembering that HE is with us always,

@Trent_Horn
explain what a woman is from one of his podcast episodes from a couple years ago… and about half way through his explanation, I started feeling like I am actually in the movie idiocracy. If you haven’t seen that movie, maybe you should.
To put it
It’s funny how people (including myself at one point) say that they feel “unsafe” to come out as gay, when in reality its far more unsafe to come out and say that you choose to not live a gay lifestyle anymore because you are choosing now to follow, God.
Was just thinking about
People have no idea how much God loves this world. We have no idea just how much we are loved. We have no idea how much war is going on in the background to save us. If we understood just how much love our Father has for us, we would fall on our faces in tears. That kind of love
@JeffreyTanCG
Michael the Archangel, Our Lady, the Holy Latin Mass…. In that order. It’s a lot to explain…. But on the night I was about to kill myself a terrifying thought randomly entered my head. The thought was, what if I die and the pain gets worse? What if it doesn’t end here? I didn’t
Fear does not come from Our Lord, fear comes from Satan and he uses it to draw you away from trusting Our Lord in all things. He uses it to weaken our faith.
Whenever you are fearful, train your mind into seeing fear as a sign to immediately stop what you are doing and ask God
I went to my first Rorate Mass this morning. It was stunningly beautiful! It deeply moved me. It started in the darkness with only the light of candles and towards the end after I received the Eucharist, the morning light started to shine through the stain glass windows and I
A gorgeous Midnight Mass to celebrate Our Lord’s Birthday.
It was a moment of deep gratitude for me to be surrounded by so many friends—including my sister—who are also converts.
We were lost sheep. Now we are found, and one at Our Lord’s altar.
Glory to God!
Merry Christmas!
Please pray hard for baby, Joseph! I’m saying a rosary right now for him! Our Lady, please pray for baby, Joseph. St Joseph, please pray for baby, Joseph.
