All I would say is that I believe in the Christ who died for me and shed His precious blood for me and my sins and those of my family's sins and we believe he died and rose again and is seated in Heaven.

I was baptized catholic and became born again before my kids were born and am so glad I did. As a child going to the catholic church was very confusing for me as I felt I didn't belong there or among my family at all.

I always felt I was different because of the beliefs I had. Confessing sins to a man instead of directly to God and Jesus myself privately in my room,

I was always frowned upon or ridiculed for doing so, but I had a good priest I loved dearly, who explained to me that I was chosen by God to take my family out of Catholicism and it's rigid beliefs.

I have failed to do that entirely as I have gotten older because of their stubborn and rigid natures in conforming, however I pray all the time that they will loosen that stubbornness to see that faith In Jesus Christ and not works will safe them. A few have conformed along the way, but not all.

It is my fervent wish and hope that they will all conform before death as they still believe in the sacraments, the purgatory thing, and confession to the priest only things and traditions as gospel and won't let go of it.

I love them but I cannot change their hearts or minds about anything so have left them In God's own hands to do that with. All I can do is pray for them love them, be there for them as best as I can and accept their hatred of me for my beliefs and faith.
