she_who_is_not Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I tried to wait til Lent to start this, but just couldn't. 2 months until Easter!!!!

We know that he gives us every grace, every abundant grace; and though we are so weak of ourselves, this grace is able to carry us through every obstacle and difficulty."

Hilde Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'll have to wait until after that, though. But you're almost there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she_who_is_not Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 BG, It is kind of cool that you will enter the Church exactly 2 years after joining Phatmass. Coincidence? I don't think so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she_who_is_not Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 "Every true prayer is a prayer of the Church; by means of that prayer the Church prays, since it is the Holy Spirit living in the Church, Who in every single soul 'prays in us with unspeakable groanings'.

she_who_is_not Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 "Wherefore I write boldly to your love, which is worthy of God, and exhort you to have but one faith, and one [kind of] preaching, and one Eucharist. For there is one flesh of the Lord Jesus Christ; and His blood which was shed for us is one; one loaf also is broken to all [the communicants], and one cup is distributed among them all: there is but one altar for the whole Church, and one bishop, with the presbytery and deacons, my fellow-servants. Since, also, there is but one unbegotten Being, God, even the Father; and one only-begotten Son, God, the Word and man; and one Comforter, the Spirit of truth; and also one preaching, and one faith, and one baptism; and one Church which the holy apostles established from one end of the earth to the other by the blood of Christ, and by their own sweat and toil; it behooves you also, therefore, as "a peculiar people, and a holy nation," to perform all things with harmony in Christ."

Saint Therese Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 This brings back so many memories. I'm a convert. Its a beautiful time. But, the unfortunate thing is that after Easter there isn't much support for new converts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 she_who_is_not, yeah I kind of doubt it too. Also PM was responsible for a 17 person prayer novena about my conversion...heh.
