To any who care,
I need to take a break from CF, I may lurk here sometimes but probably wont be posting much. I have one more thread Id like to post to over in GA, but I might not make it and I at least wanted to say goodbye here in OBOB.
I came hoping to find help in my struggle over whether or not to enter the Catholic Church. It's been a bit more than a year, and thanks in part to the people here I quickly realized that Luther was wrong, horribly wrong, and that I was going to have to submit to Holy MotherChurch.
God allowed me to see a glimmer of light, and the closer I came to it the more I found that the teaching of the One, Holy and Apostolic Church has no dark places, no imperfections, no aberrations of logic, no lack of grace or fitness. I submitted, and the instant I was able to finally receive our Lord in the Eucharist I knew that nothing would ever be the same.
Lately Ive been spending a lot of time in adoration, at least a few minutes every day but up to two hours a day in prayer in His holy presence, praying the Rosary. I worship what I know only appears, for my own protection, to be a bit of unleavened bread, but what is really and truly our risen Lord, body and blood, soul and divinity, and its like Im immersed in a vast, bottomless, endless river of living water that wells up around and through me. Its like a light that grows ever brighter, purer, more beautiful, filling the universe with its presence so that it would either vaporize me or fill me to overflowing with life and grace and yet Ive only been brought to the shallowest depth.
Oh, my Jesus: my Lord, my King, and my God! Who am I that you should look at me with such grace? Do with me as you will. Amen, Amen.
