Hi, UltraS
I look forward to your pursuit of your interest in becoming Catholic. You have had so many posts from Catholics letting you know what their favorite books and reading materials are and I’m sure that you will be guided to choose from among them—and even eventually get around to reading them all. I’m glad you are so young—(the same age as I was when I entered the Catholic Church).
You have received so much good counsel here that the only thing I can add is this:
When you do actually become one of us, I would like to ask that you will commit to the prayerful readings of the Scriptures for the Mass of each day and take those Scriptures and engrave them on your heart. I hope you will rejoice in the Mass and the Holy Eucharist and that your joy will be given to others.
FReeper Salvation always posts the Mass readings of the day. Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mass readings from Deuteronomy, 1John and the Gospel are so beautiful.
I offer them to you as my gift to you this day.
Rejoice and be grateful for your youth and energy, for your interest in matters of spiritual growth, and for your grace under fire.
Grace and peace and fellowship in Christ Jesus be yours now and forever.

And at your First Eucharist US007, please pray for my girls.
If you would be so kind....
