Hello, it has been a while since I’ve been on these forums. I come asking for prayer and wisdom. After almost a decade as an Eastern Orthodox, this Sunday my wife and I, along with our two youngest children, will be received into the Catholic Church. Please pray for our remaining three children. Two are outside of valid sacraments. The oldest remains in Orthodoxy but is greatly distressed. I thank you for your prayers.

If you have any wisdom to share, please feel free to do so.

Glory to God!

My prayers are with you!

Btw, according to the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church does indeed have valid sacraments, but that’s a different topic!

:)

Conversion is a tough road. People’s unfavorable reactions do not help. I will pray for you and your family. I will pray that your oldest is given peace and feels God’s presence and comfort as well.

Welcome home! :)

O blessed apostle, St. Paul, greatest of all converts, who labored unceasingly for the conversion of other souls, inspire me with the ardor of your zeal that I may pray and work for the conversion of my brethren, redeemed in the blood of Christ but not as yet blessed with the full light of his truth.
