- She was Protestant until she researched that Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church. The Bible that she knew and loved growing up was compiled and canonized by the Catholic Church. She truly found the pearl of great price, Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. All hearts were made by God for Catholicism.

Gaby I don’t know how to thank you for all your hard word. Since I started watching your videos I’m taking more seriously my catholic faith. I hope one day we can have videos in Spanish for the Hispanic Community I always want to show your videos to my friends but they don’t understand English😢
Anyway I pray for you and all the people that helps you with your videos
My friend! I have great news for you! I am going to be making a spanish RUclips Channel. I will be having all of the best videos remade using only spanish speakers. It wont be a dubbing it will be with spanish priest and sometimes me in spanish, but all the same videos in the native tongue. So please pray for that! I am going to make a formal announcement soon. I going to have to fundraise, because I will need to hire a good Catholic Spanish video editor. We shall see. But yes... 2023 is the year we start in spanish. Stay subscribed, hit the notification bell, and please please please pray for me.
@@gabiafterhours Oh that's great to hear because I had the same problem, I pray for you and for you to be able to make that happen.
That’s really good news for me. If you ever need help with that it’ll be a honor to help you, becase I also speak Spanish and whenever you have your videos in Spanish I will share them with my friends and family in Mexico.
Let us leave this great project in the hands of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Mary never loses 😇😌
@@gabiafterhours OMG! THIS IS AWESOME! Unfortunately I married a man that is more lenient to protestant. Specifically evangelical due to his brothers and sisters. And we rent a room with his oldest sister. Long story short, if I haven't seen their ignorance first hand; I wouldn't have returned back to my faith. I wish I could've married in the church. Pray for my husband's conversion. That he will stop being so hard headed. And pray for me to be a fighter, patient and less angry. 🙏 peace be with you all. Que nuestra Madre santísima los bendiga junto con su hijo Jesucristo 😇🙏
@@penosa24 Hi, I just prayed a Hail Mary for you and your husband. I know conversion is possible because I was a staunch Protestant and now I'm the happiest Catholic that ever lived I think😇
Seriously there's so much beauty and richness in The Catholic Faith! I was always hopping from church to church in my Protestant years. Now I'm happily settled in The Holy Catholic Church and wouldn't even dream of going elsewhere. I can't even tell you how much I Love The Holy Rosary! It has transformed my life completely in just 2 years of Praying it. It's my favorite Catholic devotion and I would be lost without it. Thanks to Gabi's channel I learned the importance of praying all 4 Rosaries daily and it has been a total game changer for me and made me stronger, more confident and stable in my Faith and in my mental health. I've struggled with anxiety and depression all my life and The Rosary has given me the first true confidence that I can surmount those ugly attacks daily.
Our Lady Queen of The Holy Rosary pray for us 🙏✝️💖💖💖
I converted from Islam in 2020 at the age of 43 and became a Catholic. I discovered that Jesus was with me since i was a child. He was leading me to his church. My wife followed after a year and we are a now a Christian Catholic family blessed by God. Greetings to you all from ur Catholic brother from Beirut Lebanon
I am also Lebanese 🙏🏼🇱🇧✝️ God bless
@@dannyvinton440 God bless you too Brother
I am a Lebanese Catholic too, Congratulations and God bless you and your family!!
@@cc2782 thank you Brother
Welcome Home to the Church of Jesus Christ.
I became a Catholic the same day I entered the convent to become a Sister. Its the best decision I've ever made in my life.
Raised Catholic, but have drifted for most of my adult life. This stabbed me in the heart.
Time to go back home.
Praying for you!!!!!
Do it I did after 10 years
the beauty of the prodigal son returns story. God bless
You can't, it isn't possible. You never left, you were just briefly daydreaming on what you saw outside through the window of our home.❤
Praying for you, too!! ❤ And if you are interested but have not been before, I highly recommend checking out a Traditional Latin Mass or Traditional Byzantine Mass. Both have preserved tradition so wonderfully and imo, offer a profound reverence on a consistent basis.
Born Catholic, then became an atheist after my Army days. I thought Science and Reason had all the answers. I was wrong. I learned. Today, whenever someone asks me who I work for, I just smile and say, “My boss is a carpenter.” Viva Christo Rey! Salve Regina!
Born catholic myself- never devout, just went through the motions went into army and met a guy in boot camp named Welch who was a catholic 100%. Thru his friendship i started taking my faith seriously.
CATECHISM of the CATHOLIC CHURCH
PART TWO: THE CELEBRATION OF THE CHRISTIAN MYSTERY
SECTION TWO THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH
CHAPTER ONE THE SACRAMENTS OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION
Article 3 THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST
V. The Sacramental Sacrifice Thanksgiving, Memorial, Presence
1368 The Eucharist is also the sacrifice of the Church. the Church which is the Body of Christ participates in the offering of her Head. With him, she herself is offered whole and entire. She unites herself to his intercession with the Father for all men.
ON THE SACRIFICE OF THE MASS.
CANON III.-- If any one saith, that the sacrifice of the mass is only a sacrifice of praise and of thanksgiving; or, that it is a bare commemoration of the sacrifice consummated on the cross, but not a propitiatory sacrifice; or, that it profits him only who receives; and that it ought not be offered for the living and the dead for sins, pains, satisfactions, and other necessities; let him be anathema.
The RCC says, that IF YOU SAY, that what they are doing is *not* an offering [in the present] for sins, then they pronounce a curse (anathema) upon you. Let me repeat, If you disagree with what they say, they have cursed you.
What they are consciously or unconsciously saying (by continuing to offer sacrifices) during their Mass, is that they do not believe the 'good news' that an offering was made; an offering that has already satisfied God. They are rejecting Christ, while continuing to traffic in his name and reputation.
What a coincidence, my boss is also a carpenter. VIVA CRISTO REY!
@@jesus_is_king4032 Good thing nobody here answers to you, then.
Tbh, mine too! I have also learnt to like working with wood all my life. When I’m stuck, I asked my Boss to help me out and He has without fail.
Hindu --> Pentecostal --> Catholic
Love from Indian Catholic
Love to you from California Catholic! All the priests at my church are from India. They are wonderful!
Welcome home brother!
In Oklahoma, we have many priests from India. We are very grateful for and to them.
Welcome home bhaiya
Hey nice to see you here were you finally able to convert safely?
I am a life-long Protestant converting. A few years ago I began having some of the same feelings and experiences that this young woman described. I am starting RCIA (OCIA) Feb. 2024 at St. Francis here in Cuenca, Ecuador, where I am living as an American retired expat. I asked Jesus into my heart when I was 7 years old in a Babtist Sunday school room in Delton, Michigan. I am now 58. It is amazing how God works and leads when you listen to and follow Him. I am so exited to be a part of the true Church! Confirmation will be in July!
Thank you Lord, I was born a Catholic, I will die a Catholic.
I was a Baptist preacher's kid. I was dating a Catholic guy (who is now my husband) and was inspired to really seek a relationship with Christ. He loved his Faith and watching his relationship with Christ sparked my interest in Catholic Faith. I had no intentions of being Catholic until I attended a Mass. I converted to Catholicism in 2014. It was the reverence that I found profound and knew this was the one true Faith. I am blessed to have my husband who was patient and knew his faith as he helped guide me as i discerned becoming Catholic. He literally saved my soul and I am forever grateful for that!
Catholic convert here as well. I was received into the Church on Easter Vigil of 2022. Best decision I have ever made in my life. Praise be to God and his Church.
I feel the same way. I recently went to a Roman Catholic Mass, and I was blown away by the dignity and reverence. It was beautiful and timeless.
The Roman Catholic proclaimed all the other Christians are anathema. Read their doctrine and dogma.
The RC church with Mary, the pope and the sacrament save you from hell. NOT the blood of Jesus Christ.
Christ died in vain for RC.
@@andywong9847 u r naive. The sacrament ( holy eucharist) is the embodiment of blood and body of Christ. So you got to broaden ur mindset.
@@wary2067. Can you find it in the Bible? Or we just paganised the believe?
@@andywong9847 Roman Catholic is Bible in itself.
@@wary2067. Yes. I agree, with many abomination to God Of Israel.
As a cradle Chaldean Catholic that lost his faith at 20 and now, 45 years old, have rediscovered my faith, this video makes me so happy. The Apostolic Church is the real home of anyone that loves our Savior. The Sacraments, the tradition and the direct line through succession to Jesus Christ Himself , everything is available for real salvation.
All Glory be to the King of Kings.
Deus Vult
The Eucharist is what drew me into more of the Catholic Church. I had an atheist friend that would visit me in the Catholic chapel on base while I was the Catholic Assistant. I would often describe the Mass to him, but I kept telling him that what I describe and actually being there are two different things. So, one day he finally came to Mass, and I was helping the priest out as usual, at the offering of the sign of peace, I looked at him and he was in tears. Going up to him I asked what was wrong and that's when he pointed up at the Eucharist shaking and saying, "There's something there." I smiled and said, "Yes, I know. That's why I'm Catholic." Sadly, he died a few months later.
It sounds like your friend had a conversion. Jesus will have mercy on his soul.
I’m so moved by this. Thanks for sharing. God talked to me several times, similar to your friend like this 😢
You saved 1 soul... Thank you
This is quite possibly the first comment on message boards that's touched me this deeply. May God look favorably on your friend's soul.
My goodness you won a soul!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🤧🤧🤧🤧
The Bible was compiled by the Catholic Church ❤. Around 110A.D Saint Ignatius of Antioch used, for the first time in Christian literature, the expression “catholic church,” meaning the whole church that is one and the same wherever there is a Christian congregation. ❤I am proud to be Catholic.
I am Indonesian and I am Javanese Catholic and I am grateful to be Catholic
I am protestant but when I joined my first mass, it felt as if the main focus was purely God because in my church it had concerts, lighting, and self-serving messages. The homily the priest gave to us struck through me.
If the main focus is God, the main focus ought to be centered around how people become saved. The answer is found in Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
It was through Christ's finished work on the Cross. The free gift of Grace comes when one puts their full trust in him and understanding that one cannot earn salvation by any means of works.
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3
Turn to Christ and ask for his mercy. The wages of sin lead to death and hell. Salvation is found only through Christ and in this life.
Pray to God to save you. 😀
Born as a protestant, and converted to Catholic. Then I learned the difference of novo ordo and the latin mass. I love the latin mass. Being Catholic since 4-11-2022. Everything you say, i recognize. Thank you for sharing.
God bless you, brother. Welcome home.
Welcome home! God bless u🙏
God bless you and everyone who is finding their way home! ❤
AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM!
Welcome Home.
Former Atheist of 12 years, now Catholic as of 9/22. Thank you so much for explaining so beautifully why the Catholic Church is so amazing. The overwhelming feeling of peace during adoration is real. I can't help but almost cry Everytime the eucharist is made present during the Mass. God bless!
I converted from Lutheran at 18. I had what I feel was a message from God at approximately 6 and was told to honor my parents wishes and to make the change later. I went to college and converted when I turned 18. I’ve never looked back and I’m so happy to be Catholic.
Just started looking into Catholicism this past summer, and first Mass (TLM) in November. During the first Mass, my 3 year old said "this feels familiar". Praise God!
Deo gratias!
The child with unveiled eyes clearly see the truth...
One thing I've learnt about my Catholic faith is that, it is never about me. It's about Jesus Christ, serving him and worship him. The Saints taught us that, it is soo fulfilling to surrender all our thoughts about our future and learn to listen in silence. Give up our control and let God in.
Very true
I am pretty sure the Bible taught us that.
@@Seraphmoon12 The Bible taught us through scripture and the Saints taught us through example. These things are mutually complementary, not exclusive.
@@DanteColburn All saved believers are saints . by faith in Christ yes it is a good example .Read the word .
Amen! 🙏
I was born and baptized Catholic, live as Catholic and will die as Carholic. Never in my life that I will renounce my faith. Please pray the 15 decades of the Holy Rosary for the salvation of your soul and others. God bless you all my dearest brothers and sisters in Jesus and Mary.
I grew up as a Baptist while my cousins were Catholic, so I had a slight interest in the church. About 6 years ago, I was struggling and decided to go to this Methodist church down the street. There I was baptized in the trinity and God answered my prayers in so many ways! A few years later I met my husband (Catholic). We are expecting our first child and I am currently taking classes to be confirmed this April!
Indiana Jane , I grew up in a Methodist Church , at
the age of about 13 my brother and 6 other went to Class in the evening after school . They told me Jesus loved as if I didn`t know . and told me I was to love God with all my heart and soul and strength . and a lot of other stuff , and on Sunday
we all went to the front of the Church and had some water sprinkled on our heads , and we were now Christians and members of the Church. when
I was 16 I went to a revival in a small country Church and heard the Gospel and God convicted
me that I was a sinner and needed to be saved
and the spirit drew me to Christ and I excepted
him as my sacrifice for sins , and I was indwelled with the spirit . I had a burden lifted off of Me , I felt something in me that was not there before . and as a16 year old I looked at things different .
and I was baptized later but I was saved by my faith in Christ and his blood atonement . and I started going to a Baptist Church where the Gospel of Christ was preached and sinners
were getting saved
@@donaldcooley897 time to have the fullness of faith in catholicism. Where the mass is soaked and saturated in scripture. Where you can fully partake in the paschal lamb. Where you can have fullness of sacraments as instituted by Christ.
@@St.Augustine4006 The Mass . is not scriptural
or is the eucharist it is pagan . How can you have faith in catholicism ? with 80% of its dogmas and doctrines and the catechism
is not biblical . The Lord`s supper is not sacrificing Christ . there is no for give
ness of sin in the communion . it is to remember his death till he comes back . and he is breaking bread and drinking wine .
In Mark 14 : 22 - 25 ; he broke bread not his
body and it was the fruit of the vine not
blood . It was against the law to eat flesh and drink blood . Show me in the scriptures where Christ tore his body up and gave his blood to the disciples to eat and drink . The
Lord`s supper or communion was not a sacrifice or a forgiveness of sins . It was to remember Christ was the sacrifice and our sins had already been forgiven .
@@donaldcooley897 the eucharist is pagan? Wow that would be news to the beloved disciple John's student. His student who wrote about the eucharist in 110 AD and was martyred by Rome. His student who died just 13 years after his teacher John who died 97 AD. Would you say the eucharist is the main thing that holds you from being Catholic?
@@St.Augustine4006 What does scriptures say about the lords supper or the communion ?
what does John`s student have to do with
the so called eucharist ? who is John`s
student , and where does the scriptures say any thing about the sacraments , it doesn`t
where in scriptures did Christ institute the sacraments , ? There is nothing in catholicism that would make a saved believers who is born again and a bible believer , turn his back on the teachings of Christ . I have commented about this .
80% of the dogmas , marian doctrines mariology , garbage, and the catechism ,
are not biblical . The catholic church is
the ecclesiastical organization that will meet its doom when the true Church the
body of Christ is called up to meet Christ in the air . then the world church headed up by the papacy will take over and the antichrist will use her and then destroy her , Rev. 17
and 18 ; So why would I want to be part of the devils church which teaches and preaches another Gospel of work base salvation , and that salvation is found in the sacraments and there is no salvation out side of the catholic church . ARE You SAVED ?
Born in a occultist family but still baptized at birth, I always believed in some kind of supernatural force, but always thought that religion was just lies and was meant to manipulate and control people. Discovered Jesus at 15 yo, so happy that I didn't have the time to commit seriously regrettable things when I was atheist and that I found faith at a pretty young age. Also went to the Tridentine latin Mass recently, it's really something different and an incredible experience that I wish I could live every week, which unfortunately isn't the case. Greetings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ
So glad to read this Der. May Almighty God bless and preserve you. From Ireland 🇮🇪
Same journey sis, same. I was Protestant and so unsettled I cannot explain. I was invited to a Catholic Church and the minute the Mass began, I KNEW this is my church. At that time, I didn’t even know anything about the catholic faith, like zero clue. Yet is was so spiritually sure. The Latin mass, lmao I just thank Covid and YT Ofcourse by the grace of God. Deo Gratias!
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church?
The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D.
Church:
* "Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)]
Bishop, Priest & Deacon:
* “Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)].
Eucharist:
* “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)].
Scripture:
* “[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)].
Sunday:
* “But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)].
Actions/Works:
* “We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)].
Apostolic Succession:
* “It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)]
Baptism:
* “The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confession:
* “After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confirmation:
* “The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215).
Peter’s Authority:
* “The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church? Yes!
Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record? Of course not! As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it.
This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian churches and the ignorance which has flourished from it.
“This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.” Ephesians 4:13-15
We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
You seem to write a lot about tradition and laws man created instead of laws that Jesus taught. Remember Jesus scolding the Jews and Pharisees for their traditions and going above and beyond what scripture taught, they cared more about tradition than the most important thing, Loving shod with all your heart.
@@MossEYE- If you can, please read your Bible or take some college courses in reference to Christianity but I’ll try to help as well:
The Holy Spirit picked the Catholic Church to decide which books it deemed inspired. The Bible many quote and read was compiled by the Catholic Church and accepted by All Christians.
The schism of 1054 created the Orthodox Church (Catholics at the time), prior to that schism, we were united under the Catholic Church! Did the Holy Spirit not pick the Catholic Church? Was it not the Catholic Church who compiled the New Testament? Did the Roman Empire which ruled over both the west and east convert to Christianity and adopt the word Catholic for centuries prior to 1054 under the Roman Catholic Church?
Then, in the 16th century when the Protestant reformation happen (Catholics at the time) who decided to removed 7 books which is prohibited by scripture. This removal of scripture was led by Martin Luther (who was a Catholic priest at the time) became the reason why we now have over 40,000 different Christians denominations.
The Historical & Biblical illiteracy many freely demonstrate is the reason why this type of ignorance continues to devour Jesus’ church.
---Church---
📖“Then Barnabas went on to Tarsus to look for Saul. When he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. Both of them stayed there with the church for a full year, teaching large crowds of people. (It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians).” Acts of the Apostles 11:25-26
📖“In fact, James, Peter, and John, who were known as pillars of the church, recognized the gift God had given me, and they accepted Barnabas and me as their co-workers. They encouraged us to keep preaching to the Gentiles, while they continued their work with the Jews.” Galatians 2:9
---Peter---
📖“Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” Matthew 16:18-19
📖“After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.” John 21:15-17
---Eucharist---
- Jesus
📖“Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 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. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” John 6:49-58
- Apostles
📖“You are reasonable people. Decide for yourselves if what I am saying is true. When we bless the cup at the Lord’s Table, aren’t we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ? And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body.” 1 Corinthians 10:15-17
---Scripture---
📖“And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19
---Sunday---
📖“On the first day of the week, we gathered with the local believers to share in the Lord’s Supper. Paul was preaching to them, and since he was leaving the next day, he kept talking until midnight.” Acts of the Apostles 20:7
---Works---
📖“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10
📖“Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. How foolish! Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless?” James 2:18-20

---Antioch---
Followers of Jesus were first called Christians in Antioch and it was in Antioch that the word Catholic was first used to described Jesus’ earliest church, 300 years before Rome adopted Christianity! A church that was already established prior to both of those taking place, a church that Paul himself preached from, often visiting it and it was even there were he corrected Peter. Antioch was of such importance within early Christianity that Prophets and teachers were among its members as well.
---Paul---
Corrects Peter:
📖“But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong.” Galatians 2:11
Prophets & Teachers:
📖“Among the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch of Syria were Barnabas, Simeon (called “the black man”), Lucius (from Cyrene), Manaen (the childhood companion of King Herod Antipas), and Saul.”Acts of the Apostles 13:1
Church already established:
📖“Finally, they returned by ship to Antioch of Syria, where their journey had begun. The believers there had entrusted them to the grace of God to do the work they had now completed. Upon arriving in Antioch, they called the church together and reported everything God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, too. And they stayed there with the believers for a long time.” Acts of the Apostles 14:26-28
Antioch is a prime example of why the Catholic Church is in fact Jesus’ original church.
You've taken those Scriptures so far out of context, it's laughable.
So special what a gift of grace. I invited my Baptist girlfriend to the mass 34 years ago. Yesterday we celebrated our 33d marriage Anniversary she converted and we made it official with the marriage sacrament soon after. I love her so much and it was through Jesus we endured many storms.
My wife is a convert and went through much the same experience she was a non denominational Protestant all through hey school years and college. I feel so blessed that she chose to come into the church after our marriage but I have to admit that converts always make me feel impious. They seem to have so much more conscious thought tied up in their relationship with the Mass whereas I have always just taken it as part of everyday life. Of course Jesus is there of, course we have blessed sacraments, of course I have sins that need atonement. It wasn't until my wife started RCIA that I realized that I was taking for granted the beauty and majesty of our faith because I'd always been a part of it. It really changed my relationship with the Church and made me more involved in my own journey with God.
We respect the Virgin Mary....but we never worship her nor any saints...for us Lord Jesus Christ is the only mediator btween Human and God and it can be replace by any humans.
@@elbertm4161 did you reply to the right comment? I didn't mention Mary or the saints
Yes I feel the same, been away from Catholic Church and tried other churches. Now see I didn’t appreciate the reverence of the mass 🙏
I was once converted to Southern Baptist Church,(I was baptized in a river) but after invited to a Parish Renewal Experience (PREX) seminar, since then I became active member of the Catholic Church until now and loving the Church more and more.Thanks to your testimony.
Great testimony. Stories like this give great encouragement to us priests - often we don't know how the Holy Spirit uses us when we preach or offer Holy Mass with reverence and love. We do it for HIM and for the souls He purchased with His Precious Blood.
Amen! St. Maximilian, pray for us!
I’m a convert too and love my new found Catholic faith. My husband and I entered the church in 2018 and my daughter received her FHC the following year. She is now going through confirmation. I’m so grateful the Lord showed us the fullness of what my faith COULD be. I could never go back.
God bless you and your family and may Our Blessed Mother Mary protect you all and pray for you.

As a Catholic, it warms the heart to hear the transformation of others. It reminds me that God does work in a level i forget that is so unknown but fulfilling.
I saw myself in her. It freaked me out. I was also raised in a non-denominational Church where worship was basically a concert and religion wasn't taken seriously. I too, became a Latin Mass loving Catholic!

This is just like my story, my whole family was Methodist. I was an IFB (Independant Fundamentalist Baptist) I believed in King James Onlyism, Catholics were pagans. Until I slowly broke down my faith and figured out that the IFB church was heretical. So I was a Methodist for a while until I found out they were splitting over LGBTQ issues, then I did research into the Catholic Church and now I'm in RCIT and I will get baptized in May 2024.

I love to hear this testimony of conversion. It reinvigorates the fire in my heart and my spirit. BLESS YOU ALL!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Every Church can be traced back to the Catholic Church, because it is the first.
I had been raised Baptist and was non denominational but neither had answers for me. I went to my first Mass and it blew me away!!!
Love your conversion story. I'm honored to say I was born into the faith. But I have much to learn! I've learned so much more from converts to the faith! I listen to Dr. Scott Hahn, Kevin Nestor, Dr Marshall, and others! Thank you so much for sharing! I love my Lord and his mama our Queen Mother! ❤
Dr Marshall is no catholic!
I'm a cradle Catholic. I recently went to my first non-denominational service. It felt much like a concert with an inspirational religious speech. I left feeling a lack of mysticism or any link to the history of Jesus ministry. I think she's describing that mysticism and through the symbols of the church as well as the order of the mass the very link to the biblical and real Jesus.
Especially touched me because this was the exact way how I converted to the Catholic faith. Firstly because of the beauty and reverence but then because of all the theology which backs Catholicism... Praise be Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, so pure and wise!
Same
The RCC has attempted to change times and law just as Daniel 7:25 prophesied, by changing God's holy 7th day Sabbath to Sunday. Flee Babylon now!
Schnerm001 What are the scriptures that back
Catholicism .
@@donaldcooley897 The Holy Bible, but the whole one. You know, before protestants started taking whole booka out...
@@schnerm0018 Jerome translated the original Manuscripts in to Latin for the Pope
it was called the Latin vulgate .The only ones who could read them were the church leaders that the way the pope wanted it and it was like that for hundreds of years then adding books and dogmas . Wycliffe translated the vulgate into English leaving out dogmas , where most people could read , the Pope burned them , then Luther inspired by God translated it , leaving out
uninspired book that were added on to the original manuscripts . The bibles used today by fundamental bible believing Theologians and Evangelist and Pastors , and teachers or professors are the translation of William Tyndale .Who
was the first to translate the original
manuscripts into English , there were only 66 books later KJV added 7 books for historical reading not for reference and
later they were removed , The Geneva
the Matt. and others including the KJV.
are the ones the Pilgrims brought to
America , There are few scriptures that will back the dogmas and doctrines and catechism of the Catholic Church .
I am not saying this to be arrogant but it is fact , most Catholics are biblical illiterate .
and that is the way the Papacy wants them.
If people were indwelled with the Holy spirit and would read the scriptures like God says in 2 Tim. 2 : 15 ; they could understand the spiritual truth of Gods word
1 Cor. 2 : 10 - 14 ; HIS WORD IS TRUTH !!
I am a devout Roman Catholic & my brother converted years ago to the Born Again church. Pls help me pray that he'll be enlightened & he & his wife who are former Catholics will go back to being Catholics for good. 🙏

Thank you for sharing. I was Baptist studying to be a preacher. The Lord drew me to the Catholic church by the Eucharist. I am so much happier and fulfilled.

I am also a convert in my 30th year and I just wanted to say your story was so wonderful and thank you for sharing it. This made me smile. So hello to a fellow convert.
I’m Antiochian Orthodox, but I like the old Catholic liturgy- and the Ecclesiastical Latin sounds so beautiful. Peace 🙏
I’m also orthodox and agree.
Orthodox Churches and the Catholic Church both come from the same line tracing back to Jesus Christ, only divided by geography, slight differences in doctrine and hierarchical politics (aka earthly things). We still consider you brothers; may God bless you all.
The Catholic Faith is the truth and so beautiful , I thank God He led me to convert to His true Holy Church
I was protestant until I realised that Jesus wanted me to be in his one true church. After a lot of researching scripture I found that church was the Catholic Church, and I found how BEAUTIFUL it is in so many ways! I was surprised not only by the incredible beauty of the doctrines but by the beautiful expressions of faith at Mass (people kneeling, veils, praying as one, etc). I would love to see more reverence for Jesus in the Eucharist and priests who care a lot more about reverence, growth in holiness and our faith.
If one is saved Christ is in them, not the eucharist.2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, seeing whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not know that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you are disqualified.
@@sammygomes7381 As you say, we need Christ in us to be saved. So how do we receive Him? Jesus says “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” I encourage you to read John 6:32-69. May God bless in abundance your walk of faith as you seek the fullness of the truth in obedience to Jesus.
@@christopher9712 You know many people are going to want to know how is this possible to have eternal life without out eating Him in the wafer.
@@christopher9712 I believe every scripture you quote. Why do you cherry pick verses? Proof text without context is a pretext. Every verse about Future Judgement is based on WORKS not on Faith. One example where Jesus says in Rev22:12 - Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what their DEEDS..
Why do you ignore them. It’s both Faith and works because Faith without Works is DEAD - James 2:17.
Pax Christi
@@christopher9712 Please quote all the other Scripture you have to follow to receive salvation. For example " I tell you truly, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you ". If this makes no sense to you then you need the Holy Spirit to inspire you.
The Early Church Fathers convinced me back in 2000 (convert from Baptist). Best 23 years of my life!
Excellent testimony. The Mass is where hearts of stone become hearts of flesh.
The fact that this bread and wine is the living body of Christ, that when we receive it, Christ then is living in each of us… “it is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me.”
Again, if you're saved Christ is in you. No man has the power to put Christ into the wafer. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, seeing whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not know that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you are disqualified.
Living in you for about a dozen seconds.
Thank you for your testimony, young lady. The stories from converts help me and others faithful to strengthen our faith and to double our resolve in difficult times. God bless you and all converts to the faith.
I’m a convert too! Mass is as close to heaven as you will ever get in this side
It kind of IS Heaven. If you haven't already, check out Scott Hahn's "The Lamb's Supper." Heaven and earth touch in the Mass.
The Eucharist is amazing
He is there. He comes to us and doesn’t just welcome us. He’s there meeting each of us more than half way.
For me, there’s nothing like adoration. I know the Lord is there, heard me and speaks to me in silence.

So good.. as a former evangelical these points hit so true to the heart. So tired of concert/entertainment Christianity
That’s what drew me to join 5 years ago. Grew up Baptist and went to some non denominational ones in my teenage years. But the first mass with the reverence, traditions and beauty got me. I also really enjoy actual scripture reading and digging into meaning. Never enjoyed the church that had a band and sang for more than half the service.
Dear sweet girl, greetings and blessings from a mother and cradle Catholic from Africa. I’m so happy that you found your home in the Catholic Church. I truly believe that being truly Catholic is not easy. A word of caution as your journey in your now fledging Catholic journey. The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith, whatever Mass it is - Latin or novus order. Please be careful about drawing a distinction between the two. Understand that the Catholic Church is universal at its very core and meaning. In the novus ordo Mass, Catholic do not just ‘say things’ - all our responses are truly biblical, responding to the words of Scripture recited by the priest - just reverence should always be in Holy Mass - we do. It come to be entertained, but we have to be fully engaged and joined with Christ in their priceless sacrifice of the Mass. when we receive him, humbly, contritely, we are given the graces to become just a little more like Him. Please guard against feeling. I’ve travelled a bit and have attended Holy Mass in many different languages and cultures. Always the same sacrifice. I think it truly grieves the Holy Spirit when we allow our ‘feelings’ to decide that one Mass is ‘better’ than another. That is not of God. I am deeply concerned by the ‘divisions’ caused by this in the west. This not of God. Perhaps what would help is to imagine that God sends you to Africa and you have to attend Holy Mass in one of the rural areas. It’s vibrant and colourful, but nonetheless a perfect sacrifice, which I truly believe God accepts and is very pleased by the humility of the poor people who walk many, many kilometres just to get to Mass. Be blessed on your faith journey always✝️

Amen!🙏
Being Catholic is something greater. It’s one thing to accept Christ as your personal lord and savior but to receive him daily or weekly in the Eucharist it’s amazing to hear he’s prayers that bring Christ into that bread and wine.
First off Christ is not in the wafer nor can man put Him there. The bible is very clear that Christ is already in you if you are saved. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, seeing whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not know that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you are disqualified.
@@sammygomes7381 Man didn't "put Christ inside a wafer". Jesus HIMSELF held up bread at the last supper and said " This IS my body".
Did the physical appearance of the bread change after He said those words ? NO. But do I still believe Jesus when He said This IS my body ? YES I DO.
I do not live by SIGHT; I live by FAITH. My faith in the words of Jesus ("This IS my body") tells me that the bread is NO LONGER bread but is now the real living BODY of Christ, EVEN THOUGH my eyes still SEE ordinary bread. Furthermore, I Know that Jesus was NOT speaking a metaphor because a sensible individual does not use the verb "IS" (or "AM") to refer to AN OBJECT as being HIMSELF when he is pointing to the object right there in front of him (for instance, that is why Paul wasn't physically showing the Corinthians a piece of rock in his hands when he told them that "the rock IS Christ" -- 1 Corinthians 10:4
Neither did Jesus hold up a vine plant in His hands to show it to His disciples when He told them: "I AM the True Vine" -- John 15:1
This is because both of these statements are examples of a metaphor)
@@jerome2642 It was a metaphor. Christ was teaching that as bread is life in the flesh His word is life for eternity. It is the same lesson He taught to the woman at the well but He used the term living water. Christ wasn't lying, it was His body that stood in front of the disciples and His body that would be broken apart like He broke the bread. It is the price He paid that He commanded us to remember. You don't think it's a bit funny that if we are saved that way the apostles never taught it. In fact, neither Christ nor the apostles ever said mass
Christ is no more a piece of bread than He is actually a door, lamb, water, or vine.
In John 6 most people turned away because they didn't have ears to hear as they refused to believe Christ was the Son of God. Only the apostles received the message in verse 68-69 When peter replied that Christ had the "words" to eternal life, and He was the Son of God.
We are saved by grace through faith, the gospel, the WORD.
Many blessings my friend.
@@sammygomes7381 sorry, but like I said, people don't speak in metaphors when they use the verb "is" or "am" to describe themselves as being an object that is physically right there in front of them. You keep on giving wrong examples. For instance, your example about the woman at the well is an inappropriate example because Jesus didn't point to the water in the well and say "This IS the Holy Spirit" or "I AM this water". I challenge you to provide an example of when Jesus DIRECTLY referred to an object physically in front of Him using the verbs "is"/ "am" (just like He did at the last supper when He showed them bread and said "This IS my body") while speaking in a metaphoric sense. Thank you
@@jerome2642 It is also true that many of Christ's followers left him when he spoke about the Eucharist in John 6, because they couldn't understand how would we literally eat His flesh and drink His blood and thought Him crazy; Our Lord didn't correct them, He just let them leave, because it was not a metaphor.
I too am a Catholic graduate of Oklahoma State University. Spent a lot of time at Saint John's University Parish. Why am I a Catholic? Because there isn't anything else.
Welcome to Christ 's Church.
What a sweetheart, welcome home!!
Welcome Home Jessica ❤🤗🥰
Thank you for your powerful testimony. Your conversion has sincerely moved my heart and brought me to tears.
Beautiful testimony. Always helpful to hear how Jesus and the Catholic Church touches someone.
This is how I went back to the Catholic Church. From the beginning: my paternal grandparents were from Asturias Spain and they went to live in Cuba because my grandfather’s parents wanted him to be a Priest but he wanted to get married. On my maternal side, my mother’s grandparents went to Cuba as Methodists, I think they were part German and part Spanish, I am not sure. And when I was born in Cuba, my parents were in the Catholic Church and I got baptized in the Catholic Church. My mom went to a Catholic school growing up but was taken out when she was a little older because of the threats of the communists. When they came to this country, my parents, they were invited to Protestant churches and so they and we became Protestant. My twin sister and I never really liked the Protestant church and we would even ask my dad if there was a church that was full of sanctity and some things that were Catholic without us even knowing it. He kept it hush but my parents realized what was happening. Moving forward, the doctors found a cancer in my kidney while in college and I was really tormented. Going to Protestant churches trying to find fulfillment. One day, when I was going in for the biopsy, I asked my sister to put the Christian tv channel for me at the hospital. But they were selling a book or asking for money, I don’t remember exactly what it was but it was really tormenting. I told her to change it and the mass came up, first time I’ve seen it. And I told her to stay on it. It was amazing: reading the Bible, getting blessings, no screaming, etc. I told her that when we get through this, we’re going back to the Catholic Church. And after the biopsy, we did start going to RCIA and did confirmation. We were already baptized Catholic. They removed my stage 3 renal cancer by surgery and I’m currently and thankfully cancer free right now. And something that really Stuck with me was that my priest told me and I would be ok if I lived or if I died. I’ll never forget that. Because it’s really true. In protestants churches, we’re not really taught about suffering but it is a reality even Jesus, the apostles, the prophets, and the Saints go through. Edit- We’ve never been happier. We’re in the Catholic Church and we’ve learned so much, feel community, and even feel closer to God.
The one and only church in the universe jesus Mary and Joseph protect our familys
It's good to hear these conversion stories. As a devout, born and raised, Catholic, I sometimes forget that our religion isn't just something that we should cloister and practice. That our light is meant to be shone on believers, people of other faith and non-believers. We are called to share Christ's love with everyone. It does not belong to us, it was given to us to give away.
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for deepening my faith. Thank you for reminding me of my duty as a disciple.
Being a Catholic Sacrament give me peace in my heart🙏
Any time I may hit the doldrums as a Catholic, I try to learn about a new saint I am unfamiliar with, and it rejuvenates my faith and joy in Catholicism every time, without fail!❤
God bless you young lady!
I'm catholic and I enjoyed this.
I was also initially drawn to the beauty in the local Catholic parish, and once I got the courage to go to a Mass for the first time I was hooked! The absolute sense of truth shown to me in RCIA sealed the deal and I've been Catholic now for 21 years!
Such a beautiful testimony. May the Lord bless her always. ✝️🙏
AMEN!
The Holy Catholic Church is amazing.
It truly is the Body of Christ.
AMEN! Thank you for watching!

Yeah, if you put aside the sexual abuse of thousands of children. The Inquisition. The forced conversions of the indigenous peoples of Central and South America. Ignoring and sometimes abetting the Nazis during WWII. The active participation in the Rwandan genocide. The separation of indigenous children from their parents in Canada for the purpose of forced indoctrination.
@@dominicpardo4783 Some of what you mention can be attributed to the bad apples, “tares”, that exist in every institution.
The other is tainted by classic anti-Catholic propaganda.
The Church has come nowhere near to producing the horrors that have come out of institutional Communism and secular Liberalism (The French Revolution and abortion for example).
The years AFTER the rejection of Catholic Civilization (1500-present) have been the bloodiest in history.
@Kyntai Blah blah blah. Comparing a religion to governments is a terrible analogy. Besides, misdeeds of one entity do not erase the eniquity of another. The atrocities l mentioned that were propagated by th Catholic Church have *NOT* been refuted. Those are facts. Do you not find it reprehensible that it was *proven* that the church, all the way to the Vatican, actively covered up the sexual abuse of thousands of children and shielded the perpetrators? That is a fact.
I'm 35. Grew up in protestant house but was atheist/agnostic most of my life. Now I'm about to start RCIA
Am about to start the journey. Thank you for this testimony.
Congratulations! You won’t regret your decision!
I was raised in a Evangelical religious church when I was a child but I step away from the church as a adolescent. In my late 20's I took an interest in Catholicism and decided to get baptize at the age of 30 and still fascinated by the teachings of the Catholic church and more closer to God.
Praise the Lord....Amen!
so beautiful! thank God for your conversion and your witness to the TRUTH
As a recent convert, the comments of the Latin Mass really hit home. It is entirely different compared the the Novus Ordo, and although they can be reverent too, the time left to oneself allows you truly meditate on all that is going on and take the full body and blood of Christ, knowing what it is and happy to be with Jesus.
Where I live, there's no option for Latin Mass, so the ordinary form of the Eucharist is all I have. What you say is very true, so the priest of the parish I attend is inserting these times of silence, allowing for private prayer, meditation and repentance into the liturgy, making it way more fulfilling. Thank you for your comment, may God bless you and our Lady go with you wherever you go.
AMEN!
This is an incredible summary of our faith from the viewpoint of a conversion. Are you kidding me! This is brilliant!
Stick around for a LOT more!
Thanks for this station. I just found it. I have gone to the Latin Mass since I was a kid, so really love it. So happy people are discovering it.!

My name is brother Nihit Arora, I was born & brought up in a hindu family till 2012 then surrendered my life to JESUS my Lord & saviour, a pentecostal spirit filled praying in tongues protestant But headed to join catholic church after got answers to all of my questions which I never ever got from my protestant church(s) since 11 years of my faithful walk in pentecostal denomination(s). Now I'm convinced there is only ONE HOLY CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC CHURCH which catholic church only, whom Jesus gave the keys to st. Peter.
The Catholic Church needs to go back to Traditional Latin Mass. The power of TLM is euphoric. It’s magical. You do feel connected to the father. It’s amazing.
God is Great 😃
Thank you sis, it was the same to me. Took some years, not some weeks in my case, but I remember that overwhelming feeling at my first visit to a real Mass. Well I dont just go by my feeling, I also go by reason, but by time I found that all the teachings of the Catholic Church are true. And the Mass expresses this truth in every gesture that's why it's so overwhelming. Greetings from Germany.
1:20….I did the same thing! I googled “Who started the Catholic church?” Jesus Christ….I was shocked, but now Im Catholic! (I did additional research too!) God bless you!!!
Google also says we came from apes and Moses was White 🤔
🙄
THANK YOU! EXACTLY! The only two devotions I had as a protestant were reading your bible and praying. That was it and even prayer was lacking because it was what you made up in the moment. The benefit of prewritten prayers is that they have been meditated on by thousands of people over the years. They are more beautiful and eloquent than I know how to be. Now I am swimming in devotions and ways to show and grow my love for God. I am at home.
Your experience mirrors mine as a fellow Convert. I feel like my Prayer life only really began when I became a Catholic! I could pray dazzling spontaneous prayers as a Protestant and a day later I wouldn't even remember what it was I prayed, but praying The Rosary as a Catholic has brought daily discipline to my Prayer life and a rythm and familiarity that makes it easy to get into day after day. Plus the POWER I find in Rosary Prayer ❣️ LORD I can't even begin to describe the wonders of this devotion. I used to always be afraid at night and had many spiritual attacks, but now all I have to do is grab my prayer beads if a pit dweller is trying to haunt my sleep time and they are soon put to flight. I can literally hear devil's crying when I'm praying The Rosary 👏👏👏
Our Lady Queen of The Holy Rosary pray for us 🙏✝️💖🙏💖
@@MagdalenaIsaiah431 amen 🙏
Exactly. The prewritten prayers distilled the emotions of thousands of people for thousands of years. We can only hope to approximate them on our own.Most protestants run on and on and in circles without getting to the essence at all in their extemporaneous prayers.
@@MagdalenaIsaiah431 Welcome to the faith. ✝ I wonder if the other denominations or self righteous folks still have the (preconceived) impression that we're a bunch of idol worshipers / worship Mary? 😄 (instead of eternal argument: of focusing on the only one true God)
If they are not from your heart they are not your prayers, plus it's your heart that does the communication between you. It's much better to just personally know him.
