Amazed and Afraid

[@larryf4180]

I've been on a journey of finding faith for a while now. I went from generic non-denominational rock concert churches, to an Anglican church that resembles Catholicism, then today for the first time I attended a Catholic Mass. When the host was consecrated I began to tremble with fear. I've never felt that way before at other churches "communions". I began to just pray over and over again, "have mercy on me Lord, I'm unworthy to be in your presence". I've left a voicemail with the religious education office to begin RCIA when it starts back up. Please pray for me as I walk this new path of my journey.

Dear Larry, I pray you have found your destination. I will offer up my illness so you may have fortitude. Trust our Lord will lead you. There aren't a whole lot of bells and whistles in Catholicism but rather a deep devotion to the suffering of Christ and steady endurance in a faith stand has stumbled many times in two thousand years. May you fly on eagles wings.

Larry you can count on my prayers

You’re loved Larry! It’s an amazing feeling when you give up and let Gods love wash over you! Blessings

[@MrDoyle07]

It is right to love Jesus enough to be in humility in His presence. None of us really know how to be the “right” kind of humble so I have adapted by inspecting myself constantly to insure I truly do love Him with all my heart. That is easy too, because I know He loves me with all of His.

I can't even begin to express the impact the Catholicism series had on me. I grew up bemoaning and resenting the fact that all Catholic content I ever saw was cheap, corny, outdated and cringe inducing. This was the first time in my life I felt proud of Catholic media content. Bishop Barron created someone worthy of the goodness, truth, and beauty of the Catholic faith. God bless him for that.

Beware! The Bible says these things - 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Mark 7:7. “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Better to be a born again Christian. Find a home Bible study group just like the first Christians.

I'm watching this during Lent 2024 after binge watching the first three seasons of The Chosen. This video crystalizes for me who Jesus was and is from the Catholic perspective. Rev Bishop Barron weaves the life of Jesus with the prophecies of the Old Testament in a way that few people realize actually foretold Christ's coming and the reason for His coming. I knew this but the way Rev. Barron describes it-made it so REAL to me. Thank you Rev. Barron!!!

This documentary played a pivotal role in my path to the Christian faith several years ago, from hedonism and the occult. I’m now a catechumen in the Eastern Orthodox Church, but will be forever grateful to Bishop Barron for helping me let go of the fear and unearned bitterness against catholicism and showing me that the path to Christ can be paved with intellect, beauty, and depth in a way I had not previously seen. Without this unique evangelism I would not have found the true church nor the faith I have now that has brought me so much strength, comfort, awe and love through extremely challenging times. Thank you all for making this available and free to the public, I pray that it will move and inspire many others as it did to me.
