About Me
My name is Marie. I am a convert to the Catholic Church (was brought up Southern Baptist). My conversion story is long, but thankfully not very painful. After several years of personal study, and two years of formal study, I was joyfully confirmed into Christ's true Church in March of 2005.
I am the joyfull wife of an amazing and loveing husband, and also the happy mother of one sweet and willful little toddler. My husband and I are expecting our second child next summer! (Please pray for our family and that our new baby is born healthy.)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mystical Rose, make intercession for holy Church, protect the sovereign Pontiff, help all those who invoke you in their necessities, and since you are the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from your most holy Son the grace of keeping our faith, of sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life of burning charity, and the precious gift of final perseverance.
Amen.
