And when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit Luke 1:41

[walkswithmyfather]

Acts 1:9-11 (NIV). [9] “After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. [10] They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. [11] “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (NIV). [16] “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. [17] After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. [18] Therefore encourage one another with these words.”

“Imagine His Return” by In Touch Ministries:

“One day Jesus will return to take us to our eternal home in heaven.”

“During our life, most of us will have opportunities to experience amazing things, see beautiful views, and hear wonderful music. But more marvelous than any earthly event is what Christians will experience at the return of Christ. Just imagine…

• What we will hear. Jesus “will descend from heaven with a shout” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). The voice of the archangel Michael—the leader of the angelic host—and a heavenly trumpet will be heard, calling the saints to assemble.

• What we will see. As described yesterday, the Lord will come down from above, to be met in the air by newly resurrected saints and then, a moment later, by living believers.

• What we will feel. Though it’s impossible to know exactly what the experience will be like, we can expect it to be magnificent. We’ll be transformed physically: Unlike our present body, our new form won’t be susceptible to pain, sin, sadness, sickness, or death. And in an instant, we will be brought into the presence of our heavenly Father, to remain with Him for eternity.

Let’s encourage one another—and ourselves—with this reminder about Jesus Christ’s return (1 Thessalonians 4:18). So when hardships get you down, think about this exciting event in your future. The best is yet to come!”

I went exploring today

Update: I have spoken with some priests at this church via email and have started doing mass at home through the Divine Office app. I try to do it every morning. I am still getting into the habit of it and getting into the habit of praying with a rosary (i know it is not necessary but I always have carried one with me so I have began embracing it while praying as well)

I have been shy/uncomfortable with going into a catholic church without knowing all of the customs which is why I am still learning and practicing mass alone.

I also got a downloaded version of the Catechism but I am looking for an affordable physical version.

I found out I am moving so I want to refrain from going to the Baltimore Basilica because I don’t think I will be attending regularly. I would like the first Catholic church I go to to be me and my babies new church home. I want the people there to feel like family from the beginning and have people to lean on that actually know my journey.

Even though I am shy and feel unworthy God has been calling out for me and waiting for me to take this relationship seriously. Commit and completely surrender to him. I am still struggling but I know I will get there eventually.

How do I shake this feeling of unworthiness and uncleanliness? Is there any way I can confess my sins without going into an actual cathedral/church? I feel like I am spiritually dirty and the only way to be cleansed is to be honest before I start this next chapter of my life.. what should I do?

I feel as though Jesus has been calling me to convert to Catholic for a while…

I believe in Jesus Christ as our savior

I believe in the confessing of sins to repent daily

I also believe in the holy trinity

I also believe in the different saints and angels within the Bible

I also believe in praying to the mother of our savior

Can anyone explain the core beliefs of Catholicism a little deeper for me? What should I wear when I attend mass tomorrow? Will i be accepted as a pregnant single mother with a young baby? What should I do to prepare for daily mass? I am excited to start on this new journey within my faith and want to be obedient to God but I just want to make sure I am educated and I know that this is right for me.. where should I start? I am going to just attend mass tomorrow and keep you all updated.

Ephesians 4:31-32

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

John 15:16 (AMPC). [16] “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], He may give it to you.”
