P.S. As I stated, I attended Bible teaching churches and also read scripture all of my life. I am 71 years old, was saved at 10 years of age, 1948. I was 48 years of age when studying to become Catholic, 49 when I was received into the Catholic Church.
Words, time, nor space cold express to you what this means, the abundant blessings. God is within my soul so innately, no one or thing can take it away. I am soul bound to Him, the soul soars with His love.
This after many years of excruciating sorrow, losses, and hardships.

I was 46, I took my time studying and praying, I had friends and priests who tried to help me speed up my journey and I told them it would happen in God’s good time.

The wonderful miracle of it was that when I finally said yes, my husband, who had never been baptized, oldest son, his wife and my DIL’s sister took the journey together. I firmly believe that I would have gone alone if I had rushed headlong into Catholicism as I sometimes wanted to do.
