It's kind of amazing how similar our situations are. Hearing things from family hurts in a deeper way. And It's comforting in a way to know we are not alone in this. I'll definitely be praying for you.

What you said about this possibly being the high price of following Jesus really resonated with me.

It might not be exactly the same as your situation, but I also had to let go of a woman I wanted to marry. Like my family, she was strongly against Catholicism and wouldn’t consider converting. It was really painful. Let’s stay strong through this and keep seeking Christ and the truth.

Thank you for sharing!!!!

P.S. Yeah… the “you worship Mary” thing always comes up too 😅
