Family Becoming Catholic:

One of the goals I had when I became Catholic was to get my mother to convert as well. She married into a Catholic family almost 35 years ago and no one has been able to get her to join the church. I have been talking to her for about three months now and finally she told me last night that she has decided to become Catholic! She will go through RCIA, and later down the road take the initiation 'grand slam' where she will be Baptized, confirmed and take her first communion. This was very exciting news, the months of praying work.

Now not only is my mother going to join the Church, my niece who is expected any moment now will be baptized Catholic and also my sister in law who once said she would never become Catholic is even considering joining the Church along with her daughter and my mother. It is great to know that the Lord used me as an instrument to introduce the peace and the joy of that Catholic Church that they will no doubt find.
