We are so happy to be Catholics, we feel so much joy to be part of the real church of Our Lord Jesus Christ! I`m so grateful, I wish I can thank all my grandparents and great and great grandparents who helped us to be what we are now, we are thankful for their Faith, to teach and guide us into our Catholic faith.
Jesus said to St Peter " you are Peter and upon this rock I`ll build my Church. And the gates of hell will not prevail against it."(Matthew 16:18).
The critics and enemies of the Church neglect the fact that Jesus spoke Aramaic, and, as John 1:42 tells us, in everyday life he actually referred to Peter as Kepha or Cephas (depending on how it is transliterated). It is that term which is then translated into Greek as petros. Thus, what Jesus actually said to Peter in Aramaic was: "You are Kepha and on this very kepha I will build my Church."
The Church Fathers, those Christians closest to the apostles in time, culture, and theological background, clearly understood that Jesus promised to build the Church on Peter. Jesus did not say" Peter, you will build my church", or" I will build my churches." or "You will build your church". But He said " I will build My Church" And the Church is only one, the Catholic Church.
What is more important to us? what saves us? to listen to sinful media and the enemies of the Church or listen to Our Lord? the enemies of the Church are many, many!! We don`t have to listen to them.Be careful!
The Catholic Church is very different from any church. Even the demons are forced to admit that during any exorcism rite. The demons hate the Catholic Church because they know our Church is the real Church of Jesus Christ.
What we have that the other sects don`t?
We have the real Sacrifice of the Mass! The Holy Mass is the greatest prayer and act of worship of the New Law. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is heaven on earth.
We have a Pope who is the legitimate successor of St. Peter thought the apostolic succession for more than two years!
We have valid ordained priests and bishops, through also apostolic succession, anointing and laying of hands. They are all anointed by the Lord, through their bishops on their ordination days. They have been consecrated to God.
We have real consecrated Host, the real Holy Communion. At the Holy Mass the priest takes the host offered it up to God and say the validly consecration formula and the host become the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We can not see with our own eyes, but we know it is there! Jesus is there! And for those who don`t believe it, just search for Eucharist Miracles, specially on Lanciano, when the consecrated host became real human flesh, they still have it exposed at their parish.
We have validly and approved miracles and apparitions of Our Lord Jesus and also of His Holy Mother Virgin Mary.
We have seven valid Sacraments. The sects have only two, baptism and marriage. And we have seven, Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, Penance(Confession), Eucharist, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders(consecration and or ordination of religious people, priests, nuns, brothers and so on). All these sacraments are treasures of the Church. They give us many graces, they give us salvation!
My dear child, when you want to learn more about the Catholic Church never go to the enemies of the Church, their goal are to destroy the Church, their goals are to make you lost your faith and become atheist and liberal, and make you distrust the Church. Never go there, never follow their ideas, ignore them. You should go for a traditional Catholic priest and ask him your questions. Or you can visit good and traditional Catholic websites.
My beloved child, keep your Catholic faith. Have hope! And pray, pray a lot, specially to Our Lady of Fatima. Pray also to St Michael the Archangel who guards our Church against any demons. When you go to Mass, soon after the Mass, please, kneel down and say the prayer to St Michael, following by 3 Hail Marys asking God for gifts of Faith, Hope and Charity.
The prayer to St Michael:
Saint Michael the Archangel,defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
