I’m being baptized into the catholic church and choosing to walk this path with faith, purpose, and a new sense of peace in my soul. I ask for your prayers that my relationship with God continues to grow stronger, that I stay grounded in faith, and that I’m guided in the right direction through ever
Amid a surge of other posts I’m sure mine won’t be a spotlight but I feel like I HAVE to post something.
Me and my entire family of 4 have been baptized tonight and myself and my wife received confirmation and first communion and I’m just so happy to be home after my non dom upbringing and pagan r

It's been in a long journey, probably 10 years of discerning, but last night at our vigil i finally joined the church. Glory to God.
First of all happy Easter everyone !!
So in the beginning of the week i made a post about being in other words mortified of going to confession as a teenage girl, especially with confessing sexual sin, and everyone was so kind in the comments and gave genuine advice, but i realized that if never re
Hi everyone! Happy Easter!
I’m not really sure how to write this, but I’ve been carrying this for over a year now and I don’t know what to do anymore.
I’m 29 years old, and about a year ago, a sense of calling to the priesthood came back stronger than ever. It’s not exactly new. I first felt somet

“Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.” — Luke 24:5–6
On this most radiant of mornings, the Church proclaims not a metaphor, nor a sentiment, but a fact upon which all history turns: the Resurrection of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. The tomb is emp
I believe in God, I have a daily examination of conscience (Admittedly I’ve had to cut it down immensely cause it’d always cause panic attacks in me), I try to follow God’s law and commandments and I'm looking into getting confirmed (Even though tbh I don’t rlly believe in Catholicism and I wouldn’t
I come from a Hindu family in America. My parents are super religious and instilled that onto me. For the past few months, I have been studying Apostolic Christianity and wanted to convert into Catholicism. But I don't know how. I can't drive by myself as I have only a learners permit so visiting a
Hi, I have severe chronic insomnia and never fully enter deep sleep.
I've been unable to sleep despite trying for hours, medication, deep breathing, bed sprays, body scan meditations with deep breathing, etc everything I can and still nothing.
When I finally start to fall asleep, I wake up again.
Hello, I just got confirmed and accidentally got some Chrism on my hands and I tried to rub it off on my skin. Afterwards I washed my hands. was what I did appropriate and did I commit a sacrilege?
my mom says she’s catholic but she doesnt go to church or practice any catholic traditions, the only thing she believes in is prayer. im in a situation where i cannot go to church without her driving me (no, theres no public transportation or a friend who can bring me instead) the thing is, my mom W
So, I took communion unworthily in the Easter mass today. I wasn’t going too, but as I approached the priest I panicked and took the communion anyway. I feel real awful for doing this, especially on the holiest day of the year. I’ve just spent the whole of this period failing to do the bare minimum
I’m trying to find more catholic bibles and rosaries to buy so i can give them as gifts to my friends. does anyone know where i can get cute bibles, saint angel beads and rosaries?
Dear r/Catholicism,
Christ is Risen! He is Truly Risen!
The entire moderation team wishes everyone a blessed and joyous Easter. There is much going on in the world that troubles, frightens, confuses, and angers us, but today is a sobering reminder that the Prince of Peace and King of Kings has con
From Baptist to Agnostic to Non Denominational to finally Catholic! Happy Easter!
I just got baptized at the Easter Vigil Mass. everything seemed great while I was in Mass but everything was a blur. But after Mass, Someone sent me a video of my baptism just now with audio. I’m worried about the form.
The priest said “I baptize you. Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy S
Y’all, let’s please stay active in our churches. I read something about how common it is for Catholics to stop going to mass shortly after getting baptized/confirmed because they lose the support they had from OCIA. Let’s all stay committed to furthering our involvement beyond OCIA! There’s so much
Just had the Easter Vigil in my parish in which I was baptized and confirmed. It hasn't truly set in, but the next time I go to mass I can go up without having to cross my arms!! I am in a whole new world now!!! (Aladin pun not intended). What a night!!! I loved how it all started in darkness and ev
Tonight, I received the Sacrament of Confirmation and received the Holy Eucharist for the first time. I am so grateful for God’s grace in my life and that the Holy Spirit brought me to where I am. Throughout these past few weeks, the prayer I have been praying is: Lord, empty. Fill me. Use me.
The
Christ is Risen, Aleluia
I want to start by saying that I know I’ve committed a grave sin. I’m in this situation because I got pregnant out of wedlock. I’ve been attending precana with my fiance ever since we found out I was pregnant, but by the time we started the precana process (which takes about 6 months) the priest enc
After Mass, I was able to take home Blessed Water from Easter Vigil. I recall someone telling me a few months ago Easter Water has a special blessing and is “stronger” than the Holy Water we bless our selves with when we walk in to church. From what I have read water that is blessed on Easter Vigil
Over the last 6 months, I’ve felt a spiritual calling, hard to explain. I started Bible in a year with Fr. Mike and am still going strong. Day 90 something, what an achievement. When I workout I listen to the gospels on YouTube or random psalms, they really do something to me on an emotional level.
TW- this is a sensitive topic.
Hello, im only a middle schooler and i have my holy confession soon i have commit the sin of masturbation and indulged in watching and reading some things that i know are not meant for children they are very explicit and include homosexual activities and incestful act
Tomorrow I am attending mass on Easter Day. It will be my second time attending a Catholic service. Will the 11am masses be a normal mass or will there be some things that are significantly different ? I watched yesterday’s mass and everyone was lining up down the center of the isle and I think the
I am being completely serious.
I was raised catholic and though I don’t always go to church I pray and maintain a relationship with God. I’ve had a really difficult few months. Earlier this week, a friend of mine was murdered. I have returned to my job as a cashier yesterday. Today was absolutely
I just got back from the Easter Vigil, did my baptism along with other new Catholics. It was such an amazing experience, and I feel a lot more at home now than when I was raised a fundamentalist Protestant.
After years of being a Hebrew Israelite and converting over to Rome, I am now finally baptized and confirmed. ✝️
After a long journey, and the change from my non-denominational church… I just got home from Easter Vigil and I am now Catholic!
It was truly an exhilarating experience, the emotions that came with it had me in such a mess… but it was so beautiful to watch the others get baptised and confirmed! The
I've just received the sacrament of confirmation at Easter Vigil!!
This is so crazy. I was raised Baptist and actually found a priest that was willing to work one on one with me. I got my confirmation and the Eucharist for the first time (I am already baptized).
This feels so surreal.
I received the sacraments, baptism and communion today. I feel much closer to the Lord, the greatest feeling ever!
Greetings to all!
I attended my first Easter Vigil tonight. Ran about 3 hours from 9 to midnight. So beautiful. I am baptized Christian and the Church has recognized my baptism as valid. I am so close to being able to take the other sacraments of initiation. They are saying I will be able to take
On this sacred celebration of Easter, may the glory of the Risen Christ illuminate your path and renew your spirit with grace, hope, and everlasting peace. Wishing you a truly blessed Easter.
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death. He is not here for He is risen!
Was gonna come on here and post about receiving the Sacraments for the first time, and it seems everyone else has that covered!
What a joy to receive Christ. God bless you all. Let’s pray for each other!
I like to pray my novena before going to sleep (Im doing the 9 days for Divine Mercy), but my schedule is kinda messed up I usually don’t fall asleep until around 12:30 AM or later.
Does it still “count” as that day’s novena if I pray it right before bed even if it’s technically after midnight? Or
Hey all! A couple of you said I should come back and give my thoughts after I go to Easter Sunday service so here I am! Overall the church and service was beautiful, I felt a pull to go to this particular church for a while. I did look around a while ago to be more familiar with it but it was the fi
Why is that Dudley?
Right you are Harry!
Our Lord rose on Easter Sunday!
No Eternal Damnation Today! No Sir!
Does the "felix culpa" line of the Exsultet rule out supralapsarian views on the incarnation, that if Adam had not sinned Christ would still have become incarnate?
