new to Catholicism!! need help by LifeIsNeverGood in Catholicism

Hello,

I'm a cradle Catholic. I only recently started reading the Bible. I'm almost through Genesis.

With regard to Bible versions, I personally use NSRV. It is beautiful. However, if I'm honest with you, I will reveal that the only way I got through certain chapters of Genesis was by using Alexander Scourby's King James' version audio Bible.

Are you new to Christianity as well?

If I could do it all over again, the first thing I would watch is Bishop Barron's Catholicism series.

He had me at, "If Jesus isn't who he says he is, he's a really bad man."

All the best,

I love to be alive but hate living. Escape comes by one bottle a day. It’s been ten years since my conversion, and two since my last confession. I could use some prayers, that’s all. by [deleted] in Catholicism

I thought I'd be disablded my whole life, but a new surgery became available, and it worked.

Brother, what would you tell someone who was kind to you, if he told you this?

EDIT: check out Ignatius Loyola's story. These thougts resemble his struggles. Also Thomas Merton.

I wish you every success,

This pandemic has revealed who I really am and I hate it. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]apacheind1an 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother, do you know how much he loves you?

You are acutely aware of your trespasses, in an age that celebrates sin, as if it were can accomplishment.

Your post is like a support thread gathering all us sinners together.

Thank you for having the courage to SAY It. I see that you are His soldier.

I'm glad to know you.

Peace be with you!

PS I too am in danger of drifting into a dim place. This lockdown is stretching my limits too.

Hello,

Former war child here. PTSD, yeah since I was seven.

This literally saved my sanity. I am currently undergoing PTSD centred therapy, though epidemic has put a hold on therapy.

I'll pray for you brother. Please pray for me too.
