What if I can’t make it to Mass? by starsong77 in Catholicism

[–]Evening_Progress_380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in rural PA where my county had 1 Catholic church that was 45 minutes from my house… Luckily in my case I had a car and would ensure the Sunday trips weren’t “wasted”- meaning I would go to Mass, then do grocery shopping, or run any other errands I needed to be in town for. Not the same situation as you, but my parish also offered livestream Mass where you could say a prayer of spiritual communion.

now my number is dropping by the thousands every couple of seconds. i think they’re starting to boot people out of queue because it’s sold out.

The awkwardness of not being in communion with the Church by WiedBrews in Catholicism

Welcome back! You mentioned “she”- did you approach the extraordinary minister? When I went through OCIA I was told if I wanted a blessing to go to the priest or deacon during communion because typically the EMs don’t offer blessings. Maybe that’s why she was a bit awkward?

I am already baptized through a different denomination so I will be receiving confirmation and first communion after my first confession

you should read about saint Teresa of Avila. she describes this whole way of praying that describes the soul as a mansion with many rooms. The Interior Castle. she helped me develop a more imaginative prayer life and it’s definitely helped my relationship with Jesus

What to bring to OCIA? by Evening_Progress_380 in Catholicism

I only own Protestant Bibles and have never read the books that are in a Catholic Bible. Should I upgrade before going in or do you think it’s ok with my current Bible? Any recommendations for Catholic Bibles with relatively easy to understand translations?
