I’m so blessed to be Catholic ❤️

[@doloresvega4420]

Me too! Regardless of the scandals and the confusion, I would not leave it what so ever! My grandfather was a Cristero in Mexico during 1926/1929. (The Cristero Rebellion) He helped hide the priests. He loved his faith and I was so bless to see that in him. I can’t and won’t leave the Catholic Church! Thank you abuelo 🙏🏼♥️

[@Kitiwake]

@@ContendingEarnestly New International Version "Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." You can't do that if you're not a Catholic or orthodox. Are you sure?

[@HeavnzMiHome]

When we receive Jesus in the Eucharist, we are literally joined with him body and soul. This is the mystery that he refers to as in marriage.

[@ContendingEarnestly]

@@HeavnzMiHome The bible says none of that. Show me those verses. First you have to already be a believer before you can partake of the ordinance anyway. The Lords Table is not for an unbeliever. According to you you have to eat him to be joined. You'll never find that verse. We are joined to Him when we are born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. That is what makes us one body. 1 Cor 12:13-14 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. NASB

[@museluvr]

The first mass I went to I was wide-eyed and curious.. and when the Holy Sacrament was given, I had this strange feeling to 'pay attention'. By my 3rd Mass I learned that Christ is present at this point, and our guardian angels communion between heaven and earth. I have felt Him since the first mass, so for anyone to say hogwash.. they need a few days of going to church and allowing their heart and mind to open up. Its there a glimmer of truth and peace comes and kind of nudges you to seek more. I can't wait until Easter Vigil to be baptized. Being LDS for over a half century did nothing for me. 2-1/2 months of attending Catholic Mass has taught me more than I have known. And I'm a member of the RC.. God bless Keith for having started this. I lucked out and the St Johns Cathedral was giving Mass so never needed to do an online Mass, but the Rosary Crew came in very handy having had difficulty in doing the Rosary. I can now say I know the Hail Mary quite well.. its the other parts I am now working on. But, what Keith is doing only God could have set in motion.

[@emtedee985]

musluvr congratulations on your big welcome next Easter, I hope you'll be able to attend all the services of the Easter Triduum so you join Jesus on His last journey. At my church we will have outdoor stations of the cross with all the roles taken by young people leading hundreds of people around the school grounds - I hope you will get the chance to attend something like that - it makes me feel so close to Jesus and all his sufferings. God bless you and keep you safe on your journey

[@maurinebirungyi9409]

Muselvrur welcome home. My husband came into the church on Easter of 2016. I remember that beautiful vigil Mass was the most awakening period of my Catholic faith like never before. I had always attended eater Vigils but for some reason this one had another level of impact on me! It was so moving, so emotional and so life giving I felt reborn again and an inner peace and resolve to follow God in my heart filled me like never before. Easter since then has borne new meaning to me, and believe it or not has since become my favorite celebration in the holy calender. I am so excited and happy for you to come into the church. I suggest for your own preparation, it would make alot of meaning to you if you participated in all of the solemnities of the Holy week and finally culminate it with your initiation into the church. Trust me it is a journey like no other. It is only my suggestion but I hope you would consider it. May God continue to enlighten and bless you and give you joy as you enter into His church. .

[@susantham3684]

Welcome home! From Singapore!

I received this grace of recognizing Jesus in the Eucharist as well. That’s what really started my journey to the Church. Later on, our Blessed Mother stepped in. Things moved quickly after that!

I am in a part of Manipur, India, wherein, Catholics are minority. The protestants evangelised this region. They are majority. Catholics are misinterpreted and misunderstood especially in connection with the Pope's words. Your words find resonances with the present situation. Keep on spreading God's love and care.

Thank you for being awesome, we need more Catholics like you. You should become a Deacon

[@ilsekuper3045]

Hi Keith , thanks for these re-assuring words! Yes, I sometimes thought of becoming a protestant, because there were and still is so much retrograde behaviour in the clerics. But I was always kept in my catholic core belief that is expressed through the Eucharist and steady presence of Jesus Christ. There is only one Church, the body and bride of Jesus, and we are parts of this body. His holy blood and spirit keeps us alive into eternity. So, there may be many denominations, but the Church can only be one in Jesus Christ. Yes, we have to pray for each other to keep this body in good shape as attraction to the many still outside. God bless you for your efforts, Keith.

Yes even if I disagree with a few things from the church ,there is no other faith that believes in Jesus,Mother Mary,All saints and Angels and the Holy Eucharist which is the biggest reason to attend mass.I missed close to 2 months of mass because of the Covid lockdown and they had been very hard for me I was starving for the Holy Ghost ,it meant nothing to watch the mass on Facebook ,I needed the bread of life.That is why I can never ever change faith,though I wouldn't mind integrating some of the Judaic traditions like passover ,Hanukah just add them in the church to feel even closer to Jesus whoi Himself would celebrate them.

[@zsofiujfalussy9919]

you are very right, it is chilling, extremely encouraging, that all over the world there are brothers and sisters, to listen to you or plenty of other great Catholics somewhere thousands of miles away giving advice, strength or teaching - and it is incredible that we all can pray together, it is a real power, knowing that you pray together with hundreds of thousands all over the world: the Rosary or the Holy Mass. I am a born Catholic, and yes, sometimes I feel the craziness, even the temptation. But Keith, you missed the most important reason - at least for me. And that is the Eucharist. I could not live without. Leaving the Catholic Church would mean abandoning our Bread of Life. Best wishes from Hungary / Europe to the brothers and sisters in America!

Keith, you are so, so correct. First, the consistent and true DOGMA of the church is true and unchanging. Second, whatever the pope says is to be considered but is not dogma -- many non-catholics think everything he mutters is infallible and that is false. Third, Jesus assured us that he is always with us and his church will not fall. Fourth, if you pray simply "Jesus, I trust in you," you will bring peace into your life and realize things in this life and world are so transitory but your soul is not. Fifth, the church magisterium is guided by the Holy Spirit, and that's more than enough for me. God bless, and thank you.
