I was raised a Catholic, My aunt is a Dominican Sister, and I converted from Catholicism in my 40's... and that was some time ago. You presume much, yet know very little... a trait we share, all us men.

You presume much, yet know very little

Again an accurate summary of your knowledge of Catholicism and the Bible. Too bad you know not Sacred Scripture. Perhaps the Holy Spirit will be able to turn your heart back to the Church that you have rejected.

Repetitve prayer

Matthew 6:7 "And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard." Be sure you read Matthew 6:1-6, for it places this in the proper context.

Matthew 26:44 "And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word."

The Apocalypse 4:8 "And the four living creatures had each of them six wings; and round about and within they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come."

1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing."

Confession

John 20:22,23 "When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained."

2 Corinthians 5:18 "But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation."

James 5:16 "Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much."

Matthew 18:17-18 "And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican. Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven."

Tobias 12:9 "For alms delivereth from death, and the same is that which purgeth away sins, and maketh to find mercy and life everlasting."

Hail Mary

Luke 1:28 "And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women."
Luke 1:42 "And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb."
