Great story. I'm excited about your channel. I was raised a JW. But two years ago left and became Protestant as a default because i knew nothing about Christianity. Made such nice friends... But something was missing. I started voraciously studying history... All to say, my whole family is now entering the Catholic Church.
That is so awesome! So many non-Catholics have big opinions about something that they actually know nothing about. You actually put in the time and effort when others won't. This year my husband and I (both Cradle Catholics) have been invited to my Aunt Rose's home for Thanksgiving. She is the last one left out of seven siblings. My Aunt Rose has been a JW her entire life. It was only during the C-lockdown that she started to question their authority and stopped following them. Unfortunately, she has turned toward conspiracy theory stuff (New Age nonsense) as a substitute. Any Catholics reading this, pls pray for Rose and her grown children and their families, that they may come to know the Holy Trinity, Jesus's Church and Our Blessed Mother. God bless! ✝️🙏🕊
Discovering the Church Fathers, apostolic succession, primacy of Peter, canon of Scripture, etc etc lead me to the Catholic Church BUT discovering the Holy Eucharist ensures I will NEVER leave! †AMDG
Hey, I have a journey like yours. After reading Catholic literature for umpteen years I decided to make a step in faith and do RCIA. My wife is not with me in this yet. But I am praying for her. The Lord delights to work in families. I enjoyed. Hearing about your journey of faith. Thank you.
Just went to the Sunday Mass, it was the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. The day before Sunday I went to the Confession. I cried during the Eucharistic Consecration. “This is my body, take it, and eat it.” I feel so blessed as a Christian. The Eucharist is truly the source and summit of a Christian life❤
As a Protestant when I first studied Sola Scriptura it absolutely upended my whole thought process. When I talk with my Protestant siblings about Catholicism I feel like they have some sort of mental block that keeps Catholic logic from taking root. They can’t comprehend the idea of ceding over interpretation of scripture to an authoritative Church. They seem perfectly fine with everyone fending for themselves in the Bible and if someone doesn’t agree with their interpretation they say they're simply dishonest and unwilling to “see the truth.”
As a Catholic, I can read the Bible by myself and be inspired by myself. It is in the ancient practice of lectio divina where you read the Bible, meditate and pray, to deepen your relationship with God. There is no one standing over me telling me how to react to what I've read.
I am Fr.Jose Maniyangat, Catholic priest, live in Jacksonville belong to St.Augustine diocese. I offer many Holy Masses in Immaculate Conception church, Jacksonville. I was hearing your conversion story.My congratulations. Welcome Home
Thank you father! We are currently attending Father Martins parish in Macclenny. We will always cherish our first attendance at the Immaculate Conception! It was so beautiful! ☺️
@sammygomes7381 Jesus christ did the first eucharistic celebration on holy thursday night. The mass is all about the eucharistic celebration. To Correct you jesus christ did the first mass
@@sammygomes7381 The Lord did not need to change the bread into His body during the Last Supper, as He was there in the flesh. He instructed His disciples to continue this practice in memory of Him. After His ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit, the consecrated bread is believed to be transubstantiated into His body. This tradition, passed down from the Apostles to the Church Fathers, remains a central practice. The Didache, an early Christian document, reflects these rituals and teachings.
God bless you. I shed real tears during your story. I will pray for you and your family. And i also pray for unity between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
new convert here - enjoying your testimony. Welcome home. May you and your family enter the church in peace and joy. Please always pray to Our Blessed Mother that she will guide you and keep you close to her in your journey, as you enter the faith.
Thanks for sharing. The feeling of being robbed resonated with me. Being robbed not just of the fullness and the sacraments, but also robbed of a whole family.
As a ex evangelical and ex inquirer into EO and now a Catholic I wholeheartedly understand the hard and gruesome road of understanding truth as someone who loves God and seeks Him in the deepest sense. It’s a hard and tough rough but testimony’s like yours and mine is what helps others who are on this road to make that journey easier and short to come to know the fullness of the faith.
There’s a saying I think by either St. John Bosco or Fulton J Sheen that weak Catholics become Protestants but the strongest and most excellent of Protestants seeking Jesus become Catholics.

Boy your story sounds very similar to mine. My husband said he would divorce me if I ever converted to Catholicism. So I’m praying. This is so hard. I’ve been digging into The Church for over a year and a half, and with each passing month I grow more certain of what The Church teaches as being the fullness of what Christianity is. I so desperately want all of Jesus.
I’m sorry that you’re going through something so hard. It was the most difficult time in my life. So I completely empathize. I will pray for you! If you can, talk to a priest for guidance. 🙂
Welcome home sis! I was once a super anti-Catholic fundamentalist Protestant who believed Catholics were damned pagan Mary worshippers but just didn’t know it. That’s what I told my Protestant friend about 15 years ago, shortly before going on the same journey you’re on right now. It was a tough pill to swallow my pride and admit i was wrong my whole life, but the historical evidence was so heavily in favor of the Catholic position. I lost my friend for many years after converting, but just the other day he asked me to be his sponsor, praise God! He will be arriving home shortly. But I also went down the EO road, naively assuming they were basically the same, attended catechism and quickly discovered just how deeply anti-Catholic some of them were (including the priest!). I was treated like garbage once they discovered I was Catholic and later thrown out of the church in the middle of Divine Liturgy, threatened to never come back, and told I wasn’t welcome there for simply being Catholic. Totally unprovoked. Kinda wish I was making this up but it really happened, and I’ve heard many other similar horror stories. Unfortunately they receive many anti-Catholic Protestant converts that def poison the well. Catholics, on the other hand, were completely the opposite and have always had a good reputation for being hospitable regardless of who visits. They aren’t infected with any biases against other Christians and aren’t taught to hate anyone, so it quickly made sense why they were so loving. That really spoke to me, and thankfully I remained Catholic. But did have to learn about all the differences the hard way.
I’m so sorry that you had such an experience! That is so unfortunate! I’m happy to hear about your conversion! It’s a long hard walk but it’s so worth it! ☺️
I only know the Orthodox on twitter. Some of them have been so hateful towards me sometimes and towards other Catholics, and I was hoping it was just an online thing. 😢
I am also a former EO of 6 years, my wife and I are now in the process of returning to the Roman Catholic Church. EO are very anti Catholic to a degree I could not accept. There were other things that I came across that ultimately led me away from the Orthodox. God bless you
I am a combat vet ( Vietnam ) when I came home I struggled and ended up riding motorcycles with a very dangerous group . I lived a black life for many years but slowly came back to the church I have been married for 56 years now and I have to thank God for giving me a wife who didn't give up on me. Later about 4 years ago I had complete kidney failure and was told I would be dead very shortly so I asked for last rights and felt a peace like I have never knew was possible. As you can see God saved me and I think it's to tell what God did for me . I am not as articulate as you but I hope maybe people will understand me. Thank you for this and may God bless you for the rest of your life
@@EmbracingTradition100 Thank you so much. I hope I didn't sound to stupid but I am not the man I used to be and I think I was spared so I could tell people about God saving me . This was my first time with you but not my last and I will try not to become a pest . God bless you and your family
You didn’t sound stupid at all! I love hearing peoples stories and how God saves them and shows them his love! It was very encouraging! Keep sharing brother!
Welcome home my sister in Christ. Your testimony of your search for the absolute Truth is an inspiration for all of us. Thank you for sharing. God bless!
Oh, wow, I watched your husband’s testimony first I didn’t realise you guys were still in RCIA. God bless you all. Very well articulated. You found a treasure in the field as Christ said. That’s the faith of the apostles and His Church. Advent starts soon. I hope you guys are starting some new family traditions for Advent awaiting Lord’s coming, ⭐️
Hi, I really loved your story, thank you for sharing it. I'm a cradle Catholic , my husband is a Calvinist. Please join me in my prayers for his conversion.
Im in RCIA this year. Im a cradle Catholic that went astray in my late teens. Was encountered by God at 29 and went Protestant. Did calvanism for first 5 years and charismatic until this year in March when I was led back you the Catholic Church . I’m 43 and married with 3 kids . My wife who’s still pondering all this change accepted getting our marriage convalidated ( happened in sep 2024) but is still not sure about all this change for her. I’m praying she gets a revelation and that I’m able to bring my 3 kids into the church too. So far it’s only me to be confirmed this coming Easter 2025.
I will be praying for your wife! I know how difficult it is to have a spouse that isn’t on board and it’s honestly the hardest trial I’ve ever been through in my life! Blessings to you as you seek to follow God! 😌
I don’t know the dynamics with your marriage but you are the shepherd of the family’s souls as head of the family to do what’s spiritually best. I just get the impression that one thing you could do in your case is keep going forward and try to get your children and wife into Catholic Mass with you like my mother and father did with me. Only the Holy Spirit leads us into the Catholic Church not by force but by his gentle burning love and in the same way perhaps your wife may be more receptive if she sees how important this is to you and the family.
Among the most devout,, knowledgeable and fervent witnesses I have met to the Faith are adult converts. Because they have experienced life in other denominations, they have a deeper appreciation for what the Church really provides than many "cradle Catholics". The radical individualism and twisted rationalism that have so profoundly affected Protestant theology have bred alienation, antagonism, and schism. We were all united in the Church Christ founded for 1,500 years, and since Luther, there have been spawned 45,000 Protestant denominations - each insisting that they possess the true creed and institution intended by God. Your relentless pursuit of the truth, and discovering God's intentions for you and your family are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experience and the lessons learned on your journey. We are all graced by your witness, and your adoption into this one, true, apostolic Catholic Family.
My coworker was a protestant through and through. He was always telling me that he respected me for my "intelligence", but that he couldn't understand why I am Catholic, since that "it's just paganism bro". One day he called me and said that he was studying with his wife about Church history when "all fell in place" and, maybe, JUST MAYBE, "the paganist popeist might be right". Fast forward two months, he is receiving his Eucharist and becoming catholic along with his wife. We need more stories like yours, ma'am
I am happy to hear a story of conversion it strenghten my faith more. God bless you and your family sister. Welcome to the One, Holy, Apostolic Church!
As a cradle Catholic in my early childhood I absolutely knew when we were at mass that God was there. Now in my later years I have spoken to my sisters about this, both of them have told me the same thing. I attended protestant churches with friends growing up but I knew they didn't have what I had as a Catholic. You and your family, welcome home!
“IF” you have not already, please consider going to Adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament (also known as “Holy Hour”). Call your local parish and find out when they offer it. Then, just go and sit in silence in Christ’s Presence. Take your bible. Read scripture, pray, contemplate. Tell the Lord of your search for truth, of your doubts, worries, even fears. Then, be as patient with Him as He has been with you. When you receive the grace to know that HE IS THERE, you will be forever changed. Miracles occur in Christ’s presence - of that I can personally attest.
Almost made me cry a little bit. I became Catholic last Easter. I feel like it was the best decision I ever made. I actually feel challenged in the covenant and commitment I have with God. I did not feel challenged when I was only a protestant Presbyterian. It’s like you described in the video. I felt like I was garbage and that was it, and Jesus was a blanket to cover me and hide my filth. And I feel like there was hardly any effort on my part. When I was still Presbyterian, we had a men’s group where we read a book called the hole in our holiness. And it feels like it was an attempt to make sure people knew that there has to be actual evidence of change in your life. But it felt so back-and-forth since the majority of protestants say you could be sinful your whole life and sincerely say you’re sorry and still be forgiven. Not to mention the confusion on which sacraments are needed and absolute, like baptism. Some protestant denominations don’t believe you need baptism. So which is it? Which denomination is closest to the truth? I feel like I went through the same process as you did. I just simply wanted the truth and I wanted the thing most closest to the truth. Which I believe is the Catholic Church. Its history is undeniable. Appreciate you sharing this with us. I will be watching your future videos.

@@Bono2uu of course there has to be a change in your life. We still fail though due to the weakness of the flesh. You have made the wrong choice though, compare catholic teaching to the bible which is the word of God. You will find no trinity, no immortal soul, no going to heaven at death, no praying to saints and Mary. You have been tricked into making some sort emotional decision and it should be more on fact. Remember when you think about salvation, many called....few chosen. In that context think of Noah and who was saved....8 people from a whole world.
Girl you are an awesome apologist! Well explained. I agree that it is wonderful to realize that God loved us even while we were yet sinners- love. Always. God hates only one thing- sin. He is in no circumstance EVER hating us. God is love and peace beyond all human understanding.
"Where the Bishop appears there let the people be. Just as where JESUS CHRIST IS there is THE CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC CHURCH "St.Ignatius of Antioch 107 AD. ⛪️ 🔑🍷🍞🔥📿🐑🕊
@@EmbracingTradition100 Orthodox love Catholics too. We love Protestants too but we would like them to read History and find the Church. Some Protestants sadly behave like Jehovah’s Witnesses as if holding the doctrine of “ Church Apostasy” JW teach that the Church was lost from the first Century to the appearance of Charles Russel which in the Protestant case would be Martin Luther. This is not against the Church only, it is against Christ Himself.
Praise Jesus for bringing you and your family home! Thanks for sharing your journey! I was raised in a Catholic/Orthodox family and reverted to Catholicism in my 20s. It's been 25 years, and I have only grown more deeply in love with Christ and His Catholic Church.
Oh my what a terrible saying!!! We need to change it. I think I was a Bad Catholic but I never became Protestant. So that saying is not at all true. "Bad Catholics be humble and ask for faith for Good Protestants are becoming Catholic!" I do need to become a Good Catholic. Pray for me and I will also pray our faith becomes very strong. Nonetheless, I am also seeing a lot of Bad Catholics coming back into the church... and I am helping with my cousins in South American and California, as much as I can.
Good catholics who care about their tradition would look upon their own discrepancies in Vatican 1&2, Unam sanctum, and see that Papal doctrine is complete Bull. Orthodoxy is the true church
Wow I’m also the same about feeling called to Catholicism, but my husband being Protestant, and I just can’t join because it feels wrong for our relationship specifically. So I go to Mass, adoration and am basically a closet catholic.
Praying for you! My husband has expressed that me not trying to go do my own thing without him and being patient with him was very helpful in helping him to be able to work through Catholicism on his own. I pray your patience can have the same effect on your spouse. 😌
@@MomJeansReads You should not delay in enrolling in the RCIA so you can receive Jesus in the Eucharist sooner and eat with me as well as my other brothers and sisters across the world at the sacrificial table of the altar. Jesus tells us he will be a cause for division even among spouses, family members, and friends for those who follow him. Don’t be aggressive with your husband but still continue to obey the Holy Spirit leading you into the Catholic Church. There are many encouraging testimonies from the saints and even Saint Paul in the Scriptures where one spouse was a Catholic believer and the other was not either Paul telling the believing spouse to win over the other by their gentleness and deep witness to the Catholic Faith. Saint Monica for example is one such saint whose husband was a Roman pagan and atheist who at the end of his life before death was baptized because of her witness as a Catholic and their son, Saint Augustine of Hippo.
Suffering injustice with patience is a spiritual work of mercy. “IF” you have not already, please consider asking him to Adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. He will have the opportunity to go and sit in silence in Christ’s Presence. TAKE HIS BIBLE! He can read scripture, pray, contemplate, tell the Lord of his search for truth, of his doubts, worries, even fears. Then, IF he is patient - as patient with Christ as Christ has been with him, he will receive the grace to know that CHRIST IS THERE. When that occurs, he will be forever changed. Tell him that miracles occur in Christ’s presence - of that I can personally attest.
Thank you for realizations... Welcome home... its beautiful to be Catholic.. May the good Lord continue to bless you abundantly even in times of trails
Thank you for sharing your journey. Earlier today I watched your husband's conversion vide. So fantastic to have your and your family in The One True faith. God Bless!!!
There is so much to learn in the Catholic Church. I'm still learning even being a cradle Catholic. Though Catholic means universal but it also means wholeness in that no part of the faith is left out. I think that is what draws people to it. In terms of Orthodoxy that break is so minor even some of the eastern Orthodox are questioning the reason for the break in the church. Only time will tell. As we do have eastern rites that are in communion with Rome. Other than that bask in being Catholic at Easter vigil it is an amazing mass.
Orthodox churches will return to the Mother Church very soon, for after the great schism, there will be only 2; the Catholic Church and the false church of 1 world religion under the Antichrist. No protestant churches will exist.
Stories like this make me tear up. The HS has worked wonders through you. Only in Catholicism does one experience true love. Scripture says God so loved the world that He sent His only Son...it doesn't say God so loved His Son that he sent His only Son... I pray everyday that the HS help me remain in His love. Prayers to you both.
@@EmbracingTradition100as a Protestant I am praying this is the last church jump. And to plant your roots somewhere, and not continue to jump ship every-time you change your mind on theological matters. If you do, you’ll be changing churches until the day you die, and miss out on the blessing of genuine fellowship. Although this is a horrible time to become Roman Catholic, I am praying your faith in Christ is strengthened and grows
@@CleavetoAntiquity The main reason people church-jump is because they are desperately trying to find truth, but once they find the Catholic Church, they have finally find it, there's no need to jump anymore. God bless, brother.
'Tis never a horrible time to join the Catholic Church. Coming into the Catholic Church is the absolute best thing to do. For Catholics, we know there will be very, very hard times ahead... we will be the absolute target of evil. We must always maintain our faith. There will be scary times ahead, never turn your back or deny the Church. There will be a schism... be very prepated to decide which way to go. We will be persecuted. Not sure if all Christians will be targets. The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will always be our refuge. If there is martyrdom, there is sainthood.
I have tried to run away from God because of many disappointment I have gone through but each time he pulls me back. I am still struggling though. Pls pray for me. I am a catholic.
Just randomly came across your channel, if there is anything really random 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, it strengthens our faith and hopefully yours too. Stay prayed up, they will come to attack you but with Christ Himself at your side you'll be just fine 🥰 I cannot begin to imagine the courage it takes to announce to the world that you were wrong about Christ's Holy Catholic Church, I was blessed to be born Catholic and Irish 😂🥰 but your courage is an inspiration to us all. God bless you darlin xx
Praise Jesus for your beautiful testimony and your tremendous faithfulness to your husband and family. I pray for all of what you have lost may be obviously found in the one true church established by Jesus Christ Himself and built upon Peter. I pray that your husband may find suitable employment within the catholic community. Welcome home. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I red many great and inspiring RCIA who came into the Church by a personal gift of truth about things. So upright so Catholic, so be it. This one, is the latest grace, and inspiration.
Welcome home! Praise God! When we understand and truly live our Catholic faith, it is so, so beautiful! The more one learns, the deeper our love for God, our faith and our Church! 🙏❤
You've got it backwards. Bad Protestants become Catholics. A church that maimed, tortured and murdered those who refused her doctrines for centuries, who has grown obscenely rich by corrupt practices throughout it's long history, who's doctrines cannot be found in the bible, who has dared to change the Ten Commandments, is no church of Jesus Christ.
This was brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm a revert. But it took me far longer to find my way home than you. I reverted nearly 2 years ago and I'm 59. But praise God that I made it home at all ! 🎉😊
Hallelujah, welcome Sister and God let you to the true faith and may we pray for the union of all our brothers and Sisters in Christ to be one body in Jesus Christ our lord and savior. Yes God is good and Holy ❤
Wow God is good. I become catholic 4 years ago from athiesm I love hearing all the testimonies from different backgrounds. Jesus and Mother Mary are rounding us all up like lost sheep to save us. 🐑🐑😇😇
Thank you for sharing! My husband and I converted to the Catholic Church from Protestantism this past Pentecost! My friend who is a cradle Protestant is going through OCIA right now after hearing my story!! All glory be to God! God bless you and welcome home 🏠. 💕💕
@@darrellperez1029 there are 4 books referred to as the gospel and only one gospel in practice. This gospel is how someone is saved. So… How is someone saved?
@HusGoose By following the commandments Christ gave us. And if we fall ( because even you fall), He also gave us the act of confession, and Paul affirmed reconciliation.
I've listened to many testimonies of Protestant's finding the RCC and RCC's finding the Protestant church. It seems God is placing those (like yourself) who genuinely seek, where they'd thrive most. Although most will disagree with what I'm saying. It does warm my heart, seeing Christian's as a whole find comfort in God's church whether it be a singular institution, or a body of people!
I love how you put that. ❤I’ve been the same way. Always just wanting to know “what’s The Truth” searching and seeking. In all of the denominations I was always left with more questions than answers and it would offend those who couldn’t answer me. Pastors that thought I was challenging them but it was simply a thirst for the fullness. The complete truth. Every time I felt like this just isn’t it. It can’t be. I have a very similar experience. That’s such a beautiful testimony of you and your husband visiting the church. October 20th I was sitting outside of a local parish in the parking lot for 30 mins before mass praying. My hands were shaking. Begging God to lead me simply to the truth. I had been studying Catholic theology and believed it had some very interesting points. My hands were shaking because since becoming a believer, all the denominations agreed, the Catholic faith was in error. It taught a false gospel. That it was dangerous for a believer to even take part in a mass. I went in. And I was overwhelmed emotionally. I cried so hard and I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. I had never seen such reverence for God. I had never experienced a Holy place like that. When I walked out I knew in my heart instantly that I would never go back to a Protestant church. I signed up for RCIA classes the following week.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I love to hear about people’s experience and how God brings them into the church! This is an awesome testimony! 🙏😊 I’m so happy for you!
I am so excited for you!!! I am also a recent convert. I officially joined the Church Easter of 2024!!! It is definitely amazing and finding the Truth and the depth of our Faith in a way I never had before!! I will be praying for you and your family as you join the church!!! 😁
Dear Sister, What a very beautiful, beautiful, beautiful testimony about your journey of faith to Catholicism. May the love, peace and joy of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother Mary remain in your heart and all your loved ones always. Amen. Paul Malaysia.
@@JayRedding12_12 Well said! You know, if the bible just fell to earth last month, I could understand their opinions. But they assume themselves to be superior even to the Church which WROTE the New Testament and to the fathers and Saints they cherry-pick and quote-mine. Poor souls!
The Lord is always drawing us closer to Him by our own will. As we grow older and hear more noise, we may lose the voice of the Good Shepherd. Yet, He calls each one of us by name. I’m glad you have heard His voice and are moving towards Him. Our prayers are with you as you continue on this journey to meet Him, as we hope for everyone one day.
Patience is a virtue! Nothing beats a silent prayer and for 22yrs praying for my wife to convert from Episcopalian to Catholicism made it completely worth it. Our family is complete and she is home knowing she made the right decision. She gave me that wish and commitment just one month before my fifth open heart surgery. I knew I had to pull through it to witness her receiving the real body and blood of our Dear Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God you too are coming home!
Do not apologize for getting emotional. It's the Holy Spirit who gave you the Gift of Faith so you can't help it. I'm the same way, and I'm a cradle Catholic! 🤣
Thank you for sharing your story, I was crying at the end. It was beautiful and very inspiring. I wish many people realize this truth. I am a cradle Catholic but at some point, I took it for granted but I am thankful that I remained a Catholic and I’m very proud of our traditions and gifts that this true church is providing for us. So many of my family members have been deceived by Protestants and I pray for their own discernment to the truth.
And one more thing: Yes! You can rest. Rest in Him and His love. That is beautiful. And Catholic. Please pray for a friend of mine. I will send this to hear hoping that it will contribute to her homecoming from being a Protestant to the Church.
Got a huge limp in my throat. God certainly answers prayers. We pray and pray and pray and lots of the time start doubting when prayers are not answered. This is testament that God does answer prayers according to HIS will because many of us have been praying daily for conversions and these testimonies confirmed it.
I actually clicked on your husband's conversion story first. But just after a few seconds, I saw the thumbnail for yours, and I saw that it was made first. So I quickly clicked on yours before I finished watching his. I only watched the first few seconds of it anyway. 😊 so now I'm going to watch his. I was just reading some of the comments here. You're in my prayers. 🙏🏼❤️🔥✝️ Deus Vult! ✝️AMDG✝️
@@genemyersmyers6710 As Jesus tells us in the parable of the vineyard workers, even those who Jesus came to and hired for work late (like yourself) before their death and close of the age still received the same reward as those who labored earlier all their lives as cradle Catholics. He warns us like the brother of the prodigal son not to be jealous and envious of those who came back and join later because they are celebrated in Heaven for their conversions. Rather we are to be there for them and thank God they came back and in one piece.
God bless you for listening to the Holy Ghost and becoming His Evangelist! You are very special and I am praying that everyone who listens to you reflecting on how much God Loves us and if we respond to His call He opens the Gates of Heaven to us. Most beautiful explanation of God, for God is Love and He wants all to come to know Him, love Him, and serve Him in this life so we will be happy with Him in the next. Thank you!
Except for in Europe, America and some part of Asia are continually seeing relatively large numbers of Christians and persons of other religious systems converting to the Catholic Church.
Amen ma'am.... It's testimonials like this...that make me feel blessed to be a cradle catholic.. and that i should strive more to be a model on what it means to be catholic ❤
@@jim7576 Yes and for those who are Catholics but stopped practicing for whatever reasons or never went further beyond Confirmation in their life with things that have happened.
Great story. I'm excited about your channel. I was raised a JW. But two years ago left and became Protestant as a default because i knew nothing about Christianity. Made such nice friends... But something was missing. I started voraciously studying history... All to say, my whole family is now entering the Catholic Church.
Thank you so much for sharing! So happy for you! 😊
❤❤❤❤
That is so awesome! So many non-Catholics have big opinions about something that they actually know nothing about. You actually put in the time and effort when others won't.
This year my husband and I (both Cradle Catholics) have been invited to my Aunt Rose's home for Thanksgiving. She is the last one left out of seven siblings. My Aunt Rose has been a JW her entire life. It was only during the C-lockdown that she started to question their authority and stopped following them. Unfortunately, she has turned toward conspiracy theory stuff (New Age nonsense) as a substitute.
Any Catholics reading this, pls pray for Rose and her grown children and their families, that they may come to know the Holy Trinity, Jesus's Church and Our Blessed Mother. God bless! ✝️🙏🕊
@ praying for your aunt and your family! 🙏 Thank you for sharing!
Wow that's fantastic that your whole family will be Catholic! *Deus Vult!*
Discovering the Church Fathers, apostolic succession, primacy of Peter, canon of Scripture, etc etc lead me to the Catholic Church BUT discovering the Holy Eucharist ensures I will NEVER leave! †AMDG
So you're.
Pope, who's so corrupt?You're going for it.I feel sorry for you

DEUS VULT! AMDG! 🙏🏼❤️🔥✝️
Hey, I have a journey like yours. After reading Catholic literature for umpteen years I decided to make a step in faith and do RCIA. My wife is not with me in this yet. But I am praying for her. The Lord delights to work in families. I enjoyed. Hearing about your journey of faith. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!! I’m praying for your wife! 😌
Pray rosary bro, ask for Mother Mary help with the convertion. My wife converted from Buddhist. Thanks for Mother Mary intercession.
Just went to the Sunday Mass, it was the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. The day before Sunday I went to the Confession. I cried during the Eucharistic Consecration. “This is my body, take it, and eat it.” I feel so blessed as a Christian. The Eucharist is truly the source and summit of a Christian life❤
Amen! 🙏
Welcome home very nice testimony
Welcome home from Ireland and our entire global Catholic family..
Thank you!!!😊
As a Protestant when I first studied Sola Scriptura it absolutely upended my whole thought process. When I talk with my Protestant siblings about Catholicism I feel like they have some sort of mental block that keeps Catholic logic from taking root. They can’t comprehend the idea of ceding over interpretation of scripture to an authoritative Church. They seem perfectly fine with everyone fending for themselves in the Bible and if someone doesn’t agree with their interpretation they say they're simply dishonest and unwilling to “see the truth.”
Agreed. It’s a definite mental block for them, unfortunately. 😥
As a Catholic, I can read the Bible by myself and be inspired by myself. It is in the ancient practice of lectio divina where you read the Bible, meditate and pray, to deepen your relationship with God. There is no one standing over me telling me how to react to what I've read.
Man I’m in the exact same place my friend. I feel your pain
I am Fr.Jose Maniyangat, Catholic priest, live in Jacksonville belong to St.Augustine diocese. I offer many Holy Masses in Immaculate Conception church, Jacksonville. I was hearing your conversion story.My congratulations. Welcome Home
Thank you father! We are currently attending Father Martins parish in Macclenny. We will always cherish our first attendance at the Immaculate Conception! It was so beautiful! ☺️
@StMaryMacclenny Dear Father its great to hear from you I am one of your spiritual sons from the UK, but originally from Kerala, India.
Sad…
@sammygomes7381 Jesus christ did the first eucharistic celebration on holy thursday night. The mass is all about the eucharistic celebration. To Correct you jesus christ did the first mass
@@sammygomes7381 The Lord did not need to change the bread into His body during the Last Supper, as He was there in the flesh. He instructed His disciples to continue this practice in memory of Him. After His ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit, the consecrated bread is believed to be transubstantiated into His body. This tradition, passed down from the Apostles to the Church Fathers, remains a central practice. The Didache, an early Christian document, reflects these rituals and teachings.
God bless you. I shed real tears during your story. I will pray for you and your family. And i also pray for unity between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ I too pray for the union between East and West!

Thanks for sharing. The feeling of being robbed resonated with me. Being robbed not just of the fullness and the sacraments, but also robbed of a whole family.
Thank you so much for your comment! 😌I’m glad to hear from people that have felt the same way I have felt!
@@ModernLady it's a delusion. There should be more logic and less emotion.
@@2304rcbno. I was robbed by the sacraments and a family. That’s a fact. Not a feeling.
As a ex evangelical and ex inquirer into EO and now a Catholic I wholeheartedly understand the hard and gruesome road of understanding truth as someone who loves God and seeks Him in the deepest sense. It’s a hard and tough rough but testimony’s like yours and mine is what helps others who are on this road to make that journey easier and short to come to know the fullness of the faith.
Thank you for your insight! I pray that we can be a light to those around us and help them see the beauty of our faith! ❤
There’s a saying I think by either St. John Bosco or Fulton J Sheen that weak Catholics become Protestants but the strongest and most excellent of Protestants seeking Jesus become Catholics.

Boy your story sounds very similar to mine. My husband said he would divorce me if I ever converted to Catholicism. So I’m praying. This is so hard. I’ve been digging into The Church for over a year and a half, and with each passing month I grow more certain of what The Church teaches as being the fullness of what Christianity is. I so desperately want all of Jesus.
I’m sorry that you’re going through something so hard. It was the most difficult time in my life. So I completely empathize. I will pray for you! If you can, talk to a priest for guidance. 🙂
Have you read Rome Sweet Home by Scott and Kimberly Hahn? It’s a beautiful book that might help you tremendously
@ I have. It was the first Catholic book I read.

As an evangelical, I'm so happy for you. Videos like this will convert many people. Keep them coming.
Thank you! 😊
Welcome home sis! I was once a super anti-Catholic fundamentalist Protestant who believed Catholics were damned pagan Mary worshippers but just didn’t know it. That’s what I told my Protestant friend about 15 years ago, shortly before going on the same journey you’re on right now. It was a tough pill to swallow my pride and admit i was wrong my whole life, but the historical evidence was so heavily in favor of the Catholic position. I lost my friend for many years after converting, but just the other day he asked me to be his sponsor, praise God! He will be arriving home shortly. But I also went down the EO road, naively assuming they were basically the same, attended catechism and quickly discovered just how deeply anti-Catholic some of them were (including the priest!). I was treated like garbage once they discovered I was Catholic and later thrown out of the church in the middle of Divine Liturgy, threatened to never come back, and told I wasn’t welcome there for simply being Catholic. Totally unprovoked. Kinda wish I was making this up but it really happened, and I’ve heard many other similar horror stories. Unfortunately they receive many anti-Catholic Protestant converts that def poison the well. Catholics, on the other hand, were completely the opposite and have always had a good reputation for being hospitable regardless of who visits. They aren’t infected with any biases against other Christians and aren’t taught to hate anyone, so it quickly made sense why they were so loving. That really spoke to me, and thankfully I remained Catholic. But did have to learn about all the differences the hard way.
I’m so sorry that you had such an experience! That is so unfortunate! I’m happy to hear about your conversion! It’s a long hard walk but it’s so worth it! ☺️
Wow....I had no idea some of the Eastern Orthodox were like that. I'm sorry you went through that.
HUMILITY! God smiles on you.
I only know the Orthodox on twitter. Some of them have been so hateful towards me sometimes and towards other Catholics, and I was hoping it was just an online thing. 😢
I am also a former EO of 6 years, my wife and I are now in the process of returning to the Roman Catholic Church. EO are very anti Catholic to a degree I could not accept. There were other things that I came across that ultimately led me away from the Orthodox.
God bless you

I have been married for 56 years now and I have to thank God for giving me a wife who didn't give up on me. Later about 4 years ago I had complete kidney failure and was told I would be dead very shortly so I asked for last rights and felt a peace like I have never knew was possible. As you can see God saved me and I think it's to tell what God did for me . I am not as articulate as you but I hope maybe people will understand me.

Hi, I really loved your story, thank you for sharing it. I'm a cradle Catholic , my husband is a Calvinist. Please join me in my prayers for his conversion.
Praying for him! ☺️
Praying for him
Im in RCIA this year. Im a cradle Catholic that went astray in my late teens. Was encountered by God at 29 and went Protestant. Did calvanism for first 5 years and charismatic until this year in March when I was led back you the Catholic Church . I’m 43 and married with 3 kids . My wife who’s still pondering all this change accepted getting our marriage convalidated ( happened in sep 2024) but is still not sure about all this change for her. I’m praying she gets a revelation and that I’m able to bring my 3 kids into the church too. So far it’s only me to be confirmed this coming Easter 2025.
I will be praying for your wife! I know how difficult it is to have a spouse that isn’t on board and it’s honestly the hardest trial I’ve ever been through in my life! Blessings to you as you seek to follow God! 😌
God bless you and your family ! May He continue to sanctify us all
I don’t know the dynamics with your marriage but you are the shepherd of the family’s souls as head of the family to do what’s spiritually best. I just get the impression that one thing you could do in your case is keep going forward and try to get your children and wife into Catholic Mass with you like my mother and father did with me. Only the Holy Spirit leads us into the Catholic Church not by force but by his gentle burning love and in the same way perhaps your wife may be more receptive if she sees how important this is to you and the family.
Amin, puji Tuhan Aleluya 🙏🙏
Welcome home! I will pray for you and your wife’s conversion
Among the most devout,, knowledgeable and fervent witnesses I have met to the Faith are adult converts. Because they have experienced life in other denominations, they have a deeper appreciation for what the Church really provides than many "cradle Catholics". The radical individualism and twisted rationalism that have so profoundly affected Protestant theology have bred alienation, antagonism, and schism. We were all united in the Church Christ founded for 1,500 years, and since Luther, there have been spawned 45,000 Protestant denominations - each insisting that they possess the true creed and institution intended by God. Your relentless pursuit of the truth, and discovering God's intentions for you and your family are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experience and the lessons learned on your journey. We are all graced by your witness, and your adoption into this one, true, apostolic Catholic Family.
Thank you so much for your very kind words and your reflection! ☺️
Welcome home to you and your family! May God be praised! May he bless you and guide you.
Thank you so much!
My coworker was a protestant through and through. He was always telling me that he respected me for my "intelligence", but that he couldn't understand why I am Catholic, since that "it's just paganism bro".
One day he called me and said that he was studying with his wife about Church history when "all fell in place" and, maybe, JUST MAYBE, "the paganist popeist might be right".
Fast forward two months, he is receiving his Eucharist and becoming catholic along with his wife.

As a cradle Catholic in my early childhood I absolutely knew when we were at mass that God was there. Now in my later years I have spoken to my sisters about this, both of them have told me the same thing. I attended protestant churches with friends growing up but I knew they didn't have what I had as a Catholic. You and your family, welcome home!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! ❤️
Thank you Brother, I feel the same way. Never felt like I was in church and felt that spiritual experience in a Protestant service.
“IF” you have not already, please consider going to Adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament (also known as “Holy Hour”). Call your local parish and find out when they offer it. Then, just go and sit in silence in Christ’s Presence. Take your bible. Read scripture, pray, contemplate. Tell the Lord of your search for truth, of your doubts, worries, even fears. Then, be as patient with Him as He has been with you. When you receive the grace to know that HE IS THERE, you will be forever changed. Miracles occur in Christ’s presence - of that I can personally attest.
Almost made me cry a little bit. I became Catholic last Easter. I feel like it was the best decision I ever made. I actually feel challenged in the covenant and commitment I have with God. I did not feel challenged when I was only a protestant Presbyterian. It’s like you described in the video. I felt like I was garbage and that was it, and Jesus was a blanket to cover me and hide my filth. And I feel like there was hardly any effort on my part. When I was still Presbyterian, we had a men’s group where we read a book called the hole in our holiness. And it feels like it was an attempt to make sure people knew that there has to be actual evidence of change in your life. But it felt so back-and-forth since the majority of protestants say you could be sinful your whole life and sincerely say you’re sorry and still be forgiven. Not to mention the confusion on which sacraments are needed and absolute, like baptism. Some protestant denominations don’t believe you need baptism. So which is it? Which denomination is closest to the truth? I feel like I went through the same process as you did. I just simply wanted the truth and I wanted the thing most closest to the truth. Which I believe is the Catholic Church. Its history is undeniable. Appreciate you sharing this with us. I will be watching your future videos.

@@Bono2uu of course there has to be a change in your life. We still fail though due to the weakness of the flesh. You have made the wrong choice though, compare catholic teaching to the bible which is the word of God. You will find no trinity, no immortal soul, no going to heaven at death, no praying to saints and Mary. You have been tricked into making some sort emotional decision and it should be more on fact. Remember when you think about salvation, many called....few chosen. In that context think of Noah and who was saved....8 people from a whole world.
Girl you are an awesome apologist! Well explained. I agree that it is wonderful to realize that God loved us even while we were yet sinners- love. Always. God hates only one thing- sin. He is in no circumstance EVER hating us. God is love and peace beyond all human understanding.
Thank you! 😁 and yes, knowing God loves you changes everything! 😊

@@EmbracingTradition100 Orthodox love Catholics too. We love Protestants too but we would like them to read History and find the Church. Some Protestants sadly behave like Jehovah’s Witnesses as if holding the doctrine of “ Church Apostasy” JW teach that the Church was lost from the first Century to the appearance of Charles Russel which in the Protestant case would be Martin Luther. This is not against the Church only, it is against Christ Himself.

I came across a saying that goes something like, "Bad Catholics become Protestants. Good Protestants become Catholics."
Oh my what a terrible saying!!!
We need to change it.
I think I was a Bad Catholic but I never became Protestant. So that saying is not at all true.
"Bad Catholics be humble and ask for faith for Good Protestants are becoming Catholic!"
I do need to become a Good Catholic. Pray for me and I will also pray our faith becomes very strong.
Nonetheless, I am also seeing a lot of Bad Catholics coming back into the church... and I am helping with my cousins in South American and California, as much as I can.
So true!
Good catholics who care about their tradition would look upon their own discrepancies in Vatican 1&2, Unam sanctum, and see that Papal doctrine is complete Bull. Orthodoxy is the true church
True indeed. Anybody who reads the church fathers and Cathechism of the Catholic Church will not become a Protestant and vice versa.
God loves you so much that he has led you to the fullness of TRUTH in the Catholic Church! Alleluia! Praise the Lord!

Wow I’m also the same about feeling called to Catholicism, but my husband being Protestant, and I just can’t join because it feels wrong for our relationship specifically. So I go to Mass, adoration and am basically a closet catholic.
Praying for you! My husband has expressed that me not trying to go do my own thing without him and being patient with him was very helpful in helping him to be able to work through Catholicism on his own. I pray your patience can have the same effect on your spouse. 😌
It's hopeless, you'll be Catholic. ❤
@@MomJeansReads You should not delay in enrolling in the RCIA so you can receive Jesus in the Eucharist sooner and eat with me as well as my other brothers and sisters across the world at the sacrificial table of the altar. Jesus tells us he will be a cause for division even among spouses, family members, and friends for those who follow him. Don’t be aggressive with your husband but still continue to obey the Holy Spirit leading you into the Catholic Church. There are many encouraging testimonies from the saints and even Saint Paul in the Scriptures where one spouse was a Catholic believer and the other was not either Paul telling the believing spouse to win over the other by their gentleness and deep witness to the Catholic Faith. Saint Monica for example is one such saint whose husband was a Roman pagan and atheist who at the end of his life before death was baptized because of her witness as a Catholic and their son, Saint Augustine of Hippo.
I have said a prayer for your husband's conversion. Take heart and don't lose hope. Also pray thee Rosary. You can look up the mysteries online.
Suffering injustice with patience is a spiritual work of mercy. “IF” you have not already, please consider asking him to Adoration of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. He will have the opportunity to go and sit in silence in Christ’s Presence. TAKE HIS BIBLE! He can read scripture, pray, contemplate, tell the Lord of his search for truth, of his doubts, worries, even fears. Then, IF he is patient - as patient with Christ as Christ has been with him, he will receive the grace to know that CHRIST IS THERE. When that occurs, he will be forever changed. Tell him that miracles occur in Christ’s presence - of that I can personally attest.
You're a heroic role model showing me what humility is like.

There is so much to learn in the Catholic Church. I'm still learning even being a cradle Catholic. Though Catholic means universal but it also means wholeness in that no part of the faith is left out. I think that is what draws people to it. In terms of Orthodoxy that break is so minor even some of the eastern Orthodox are questioning the reason for the break in the church. Only time will tell. As we do have eastern rites that are in communion with Rome. Other than that bask in being Catholic at Easter vigil it is an amazing mass.
@@waltb2967 don't bother, they don't teach truth
Orthodox churches will return to the Mother Church very soon, for after the great schism, there will be only 2; the Catholic Church and the false church of 1 world religion under the Antichrist. No protestant churches will exist.
Stories like this make me tear up. The HS has worked wonders through you. Only in Catholicism does one experience true love. Scripture says God so loved the world that He sent His only Son...it doesn't say God so loved His Son that he sent His only Son... I pray everyday that the HS help me remain in His love. Prayers to you both.

@@CleavetoAntiquity The main reason people church-jump is because they are desperately trying to find truth, but once they find the Catholic Church, they have finally find it, there's no need to jump anymore. God bless, brother.
'Tis never a horrible time to join the Catholic Church. Coming into the Catholic Church is the absolute best thing to do.
For Catholics, we know there will be very, very hard times ahead... we will be the absolute target of evil. We must always maintain our faith. There will be scary times ahead, never turn your back or deny the Church. There will be a schism... be very prepated to decide which way to go. We will be persecuted. Not sure if all Christians will be targets.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will always be our refuge. If there is martyrdom, there is sainthood.

Just randomly came across your channel, if there is anything really random 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, it strengthens our faith and hopefully yours too.
Stay prayed up, they will come to attack you but with Christ Himself at your side you'll be just fine 🥰 I cannot begin to imagine the courage it takes to announce to the world that you were wrong about Christ's Holy Catholic Church, I was blessed to be born Catholic and Irish 😂🥰 but your courage is an inspiration to us all. God bless you darlin xx
Thank you so much for your awesome and encouraging comment! I appreciate the support and the positivity! 🥰
Praise Jesus for your beautiful testimony and your tremendous faithfulness to your husband and family. I pray for all of what you have lost may be obviously found in the one true church established by Jesus Christ Himself and built upon Peter. I pray that your husband may find suitable employment within the catholic community.
Welcome home.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement! ☺️
Beautiful story. I will have you in my prayers. Welcome to the Catholic Church 🙏
Thank you so much! 😊
I red many great and inspiring RCIA who came into the Church by a personal gift of truth about things. So upright so Catholic, so be it. This one, is the latest grace, and inspiration.
@@RonniePioBernardAmituanai thank you so much! I truly appreciate your kind words!
Welcome home! Praise God! When we understand and truly live our Catholic faith, it is so, so beautiful! The more one learns, the deeper our love for God, our faith and our Church! 🙏❤
Thank you! 😊
A bad Catholic bacomes protestant. And a good protestant bacomes Catholic. Wellcome home, my friend! Greetings from Brazil
🇧🇷🇺🇸
Thank you! 😊
You've got it backwards. Bad Protestants become Catholics. A church that maimed, tortured and murdered those who refused her doctrines for centuries, who has grown obscenely rich by corrupt practices throughout it's long history, who's doctrines cannot be found in the bible, who has dared to change the Ten Commandments, is no church of Jesus Christ.
This was brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm a revert. But it took me far longer to find my way home than you. I reverted nearly 2 years ago and I'm 59. But praise God that I made it home at all ! 🎉😊
So happy to hear you came home! 🥰 Thank you for your comment!
Hallelujah, welcome Sister and God let you to the true faith and may we pray for the union of all our brothers and Sisters in Christ to be one body in Jesus Christ our lord and savior. Yes God is good and Holy ❤
Thank you for your kind comment! 😊
Wow God is good. I become catholic 4 years ago from athiesm I love hearing all the testimonies from different backgrounds.
Jesus and Mother Mary are rounding us all up like lost sheep to save us. 🐑🐑😇😇
I couldn’t love this comment more! Thank you for sharing! 😊 Welcome to the fold!
@EmbracingTradition100 thanks ❤️
Welcome home!
Thank you for sharing you plight to Roman Catholicism. I am going through a similar situation presently. God be with you......
God be with you as well! 🙏
Welcome home Mama Mary loves you
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing! My husband and I converted to the Catholic Church from Protestantism this past Pentecost! My friend who is a cradle Protestant is going through OCIA right now after hearing my story!! All glory be to God! God bless you and welcome home 🏠. 💕💕
Awesome testimony! Glad to hear such good news! God bless you!
Sad. What was the reason you gave up the gospel for one that can’t save you?
@@HusGoose the gospel? There are 4
@@darrellperez1029 there are 4 books referred to as the gospel and only one gospel in practice. This gospel is how someone is saved. So… How is someone saved?
@HusGoose By following the commandments Christ gave us. And if we fall ( because even you fall), He also gave us the act of confession, and Paul affirmed reconciliation.
I've listened to many testimonies of Protestant's finding the RCC and RCC's finding the Protestant church. It seems God is placing those (like yourself) who genuinely seek, where they'd thrive most. Although most will disagree with what I'm saying. It does warm my heart, seeing Christian's as a whole find comfort in God's church whether it be a singular institution, or a body of people!
Thank you for your kind comment! 😊
I love how you put that. ❤I’ve been the same way. Always just wanting to know “what’s The Truth” searching and seeking. In all of the denominations I was always left with more questions than answers and it would offend those who couldn’t answer me. Pastors that thought I was challenging them but it was simply a thirst for the fullness. The complete truth. Every time I felt like this just isn’t it. It can’t be. I have a very similar experience. That’s such a beautiful testimony of you and your husband visiting the church. October 20th I was sitting outside of a local parish in the parking lot for 30 mins before mass praying. My hands were shaking. Begging God to lead me simply to the truth. I had been studying Catholic theology and believed it had some very interesting points. My hands were shaking because since becoming a believer, all the denominations agreed, the Catholic faith was in error. It taught a false gospel. That it was dangerous for a believer to even take part in a mass.
I went in. And I was overwhelmed emotionally. I cried so hard and I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. I had never seen such reverence for God. I had never experienced a Holy place like that. When I walked out I knew in my heart instantly that I would never go back to a Protestant church. I signed up for RCIA classes the following week.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I love to hear about people’s experience and how God brings them into the church! This is an awesome testimony! 🙏😊 I’m so happy for you!
I am so excited for you!!! I am also a recent convert. I officially joined the Church Easter of 2024!!! It is definitely amazing and finding the Truth and the depth of our Faith in a way I never had before!! I will be praying for you and your family as you join the church!!! 😁
Thank you so much! 😊
God bless you!
I pray you continue in hope for Jesus in the Eucharist!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind comment! 🙂
Dear Sister,
What a very beautiful, beautiful, beautiful testimony about your journey of faith to Catholicism. May the love, peace and joy of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother Mary remain in your heart and all your loved ones always. Amen.
Paul

Thank you so much!
"Shallow, emptiness of protestantism" That's exactly how I've described it too. That's totally how it felt.
I am glad that resonated with you! That’s exactly how it felt! ☺️
I came to realize that its foundation is the ego.
@@po18guy-s4s, and like we sometimes say in AA- Your ego is not your amego.
@@JayRedding12_12 Well said! You know, if the bible just fell to earth last month, I could understand their opinions. But they assume themselves to be superior even to the Church which WROTE the New Testament and to the fathers and Saints they cherry-pick and quote-mine. Poor souls!
I am so happy for you and your family. Welcome home!
Thank you so much!😊
The Lord is always drawing us closer to Him by our own will. As we grow older and hear more noise, we may lose the voice of the Good Shepherd. Yet, He calls each one of us by name. I’m glad you have heard His voice and are moving towards Him. Our prayers are with you as you continue on this journey to meet Him, as we hope for everyone one day.
Thank you so much! 😊 I appreciate your very kind and encouraging words!
What a great testimony. thank you for sharing. I'm a convert myself of 12 years. I have no regrets about my conversion.
Thank you! And thank you for sharing! 😌
God bless your sweet soul!!!
You were completely resigned to God’s Will!!! Fiat!!!🙏🏼🌹❤️🔥✝️🙌🏻
Thank you! 😊
I love your story . You and your husband chose the path of complete fulfillment and truth . I’m so happy for you ❤.
Thank you so much!😊 God bless!
Will pray for your family. Well come to the one true Catholic Church
Thank you! 😊
Patience is a virtue! Nothing beats a silent prayer and for 22yrs praying for my wife to convert from Episcopalian to Catholicism made it completely worth it. Our family is complete and she is home knowing she made the right decision. She gave me that wish and commitment just one month before my fifth open heart surgery. I knew I had to pull through it to witness her receiving the real body and blood of our Dear Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanks be to God you too are coming home!
Thank you so much for sharing such an inspiring story! It is such a joy to hear how other people come into the church! God bless you!
What a beautiful story thank you for sharing and welcome home to the church founded by God himself!
Thank you! 😊
Welcome home! May God continue to bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!😊
Welcome home. I always love when I hear people finally seeing the truth
Thank you! 😊
Welcome home, may the good Lord bless you and your family always.

God is so good and you have received the Grace of God and his blessings.
Thank you for your comment! 😊
Welcome Home. Thank you for your beautiful testimony.
Thank you! 😊
@@EmbracingTradition100 you're welcome. May God Bless.
May God bless you richly as you are baptized into the Catholic Church!
Thank you! 😊
Do not apologize for getting emotional. It's the Holy Spirit who gave you the Gift of Faith so you can't help it. I'm the same way, and I'm a cradle Catholic! 🤣
Thank you for sharing your story, I was crying at the end. It was beautiful and very inspiring. I wish many people realize this truth. I am a cradle Catholic but at some point, I took it for granted but I am thankful that I remained a Catholic and I’m very proud of our traditions and gifts that this true church is providing for us. So many of my family members have been deceived by Protestants
and I pray for their own discernment to the truth.
Thank you so much for your comment! I pray your family members would turn back to the church! ☺️
And one more thing: Yes! You can rest. Rest in Him and His love. That is beautiful. And Catholic. Please pray for a friend of mine. I will send this to hear hoping that it will contribute to her homecoming from being a Protestant to the Church.
Thank you so much! I’ll be praying for your friend. 🙏
Your friend will be in my prayers as well. 🙏🏼❤️🔥✝️
Got a huge limp in my throat. God certainly answers prayers. We pray and pray and pray and lots of the time start doubting when prayers are not answered. This is testament that God does answer prayers according to HIS will because many of us have been praying daily for conversions and these testimonies confirmed it.
Thank you so much for your comment! I’m so glad God answers prayers! 😊
I actually clicked on your husband's conversion story first. But just after a few seconds, I saw the thumbnail for yours, and I saw that it was made first. So I quickly clicked on yours before I finished watching his. I only watched the first few seconds of it anyway. 😊 so now I'm going to watch his. I was just reading some of the comments here. You're in my prayers. 🙏🏼❤️🔥✝️ Deus Vult! ✝️AMDG✝️
Welcome home you are on the right path ,im 73 i was orthodox for 30 years but i am returning to the true Church .
Thank you for your encouraging words! Welcome home!😊
@@genemyersmyers6710 As Jesus tells us in the parable of the vineyard workers, even those who Jesus came to and hired for work late (like yourself) before their death and close of the age still received the same reward as those who labored earlier all their lives as cradle Catholics.
He warns us like the brother of the prodigal son not to be jealous and envious of those who came back and join later because they are celebrated in Heaven for their conversions. Rather we are to be there for them and thank God they came back and in one piece.
Welcome home!
@@Justyouraverageguy172 thank you it means so much to me .God bless.
Praise God! Welcome home 🏠
God bless you for listening to the Holy Ghost and becoming His Evangelist! You are very special and I am praying that everyone who listens to you reflecting on how much God Loves us and if we respond to His call He opens the Gates of Heaven to us. Most beautiful explanation of God, for God is Love and He wants all to come to know Him, love Him, and serve Him in this life so we will be happy with Him in the next.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kindness!
Except for in Europe, America and some part of Asia are continually seeing relatively large numbers of Christians and persons of other religious systems converting to the Catholic Church.
Welcome home greetings from philippines
Thank you! 😊
Amen ma'am.... It's testimonials like this...that make me feel blessed to be a cradle catholic.. and that i should strive more to be a model on what it means to be catholic ❤
That means a lot! Thank you so much and I am glad I can be an encouragement! ❤
@@jim7576 Yes and for those who are Catholics but stopped practicing for whatever reasons or never went further beyond Confirmation in their life with things that have happened.
@@jim7576 To those who have been given much, much shall be expected.
Welcome home. GOD bless you and your family always…..
Thank you. Just what i needed today. My walk with christ are very similar to yours and my conclusion are just the same. Thank you
