“When I came into the Catholic Church I felt as if I had come home from a long trip.”
Yes!!! My mother left the Catholic church and had NOTHING good to say about it. I was basically raised in an atheist home. At age 18 I became “born again” (nondenominational Christian). I was never, ever comfortable in the evangelical churches I attended—but I knew I did not belong with nonbelievers.
In 1996 I married the best man in the whole wide world—a “cradle Catholic”. I was FINALLY was baptized, confirmed & received my first communion during Easter Vigil 2005. In August 2005 hubby and were remarried in the Catholic Church.
I am overjoyed to be Roman Catholic. When I go to mass, I know that from the day I was born, this is where God always wanted me to be.
RooRoo and Ladtx— Thanks for sharing your joy—it becomes our joy, the joy of the Church. I say that not out of a sense of we’re right-they’re wrong, but out of a deep and fulfilling sense of communion with you. Conversion is a constant process for all of us including ‘cradle’ Catholics. Anyway, thanks again.
Welcome home, RooRoo!!
