The Top 10 Reasons to Come Home to the Catholic Church

http://www.catholicscomehomerockford.org

Whether you are on a journey into the Catholic Church or returning to the Catholic Church, you have come to a good place. Our goal is to provide you with the help you need to complete your journey of understanding more clearly the Catholic Church and its teachings. We are eager to walk with you in the practice of the faith that leads us all to Jesus Christ our Lord.

Our lives on earth should be a wholehearted search for God and His truth. For some, the search is easy and quick, for others it can be long and laborious. The purpose of Catholics Come Home is to make your search for the fullness of truth easier and more fruitful.

The old saying is so true: God loves you. He loves you so much that He sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and rise again from the dead to redeem and save you from sin and alienation. And, as Christ Himself promised, I will not leave you orphans (John 14:18). He established a Church, the Catholic Church, with all its human imperfections as the shelter from the storms of this life.

God loves you so much that He will not stop searching for you, reaching out to you, and seeking you, so He can bring you safely home to a big, warm, and loving Catholic family. But God is gentle... the choice is yours. The people of the Rockford Diocese are here for you. We hope you find what you are looking for on this web site and its resources. We look forward to seeing you soon in our parishes. Welcome home, we've been waiting for you.

@zjacks I will pray for you right now. The One who created you wants to journey through life with you.

any one have an idea how i can convince my former catholic friend who is now athiest to come home agan to the faith

[BigGrinStudios]

@RomanCath0lic I suggest two things: First, pray for God to re-open the heart and mind of your friend. Second, let your life and example be a witness to the reality of the existence of God. St. Francis exhorted his fellow brothers to "preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words." If your friend is seeking Truth, it will be found. God does not keep it hidden from the humble heart. Conversion of heart can take years. Be patient, but persistent. I will pray for you and your friend.

@zjacks COME HOME! WE LOVE YOU! You're in my prayers. You WILL NOT find happiness anywhere else. The Blessed Sacraments will change your soul for an eternity. If you need to talk, please message me :) God bless you. May Our Lady guide you. "Eternal Father, bring this soul of Yours home to the Catholic Church. Strengthen & encourage this soul. O blood & water which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fountain of mercy for us, I trust in You." Saint Faustina, pray for us.

@7thdayable "Any church that believes their leader ... level of divinty as such as Jesus"

You clearly have no idea what the true Church established by Jesus teaches and believes. Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) on-line. Learn what we really believe. Then read the early Church fathers (those who actually learned from the mouth of Jesus and His Apostles) and see what the earliest Christians believed. Catholics today believe the same as all true Christians through history.

@7thdayable "How can you say that the Catholic Church was a CHURCH before, when the Papacyl rose from the ashes of the Roman Empire"

The truth is easy to find. Why base your bigotry on ignorant anti-Catholic lies. Look for the truth. It is not hidden.

@RomanCath0lic Pray for him.

[Micki1958]

No church is home. The meek will inherit the earth, but only those who worship Jesus Who leads us to the Father. God does not share His glory with any servant. Praise & worship Jesus & you r home. Give the glory that belongs to God alone to anyone or anything else, & hell is waiting. By the way, reason #5 is a lie. Jesus was a practicing Jew Who never abolished Judaism. Peter was apostle to the Jews. Come home to Jesus & eternal life, no one & no place can take His place.

[7thdayable]

One more thing: Any church that believes their leader (the Pope (Papacy)) on Earth is of equal divinity or any level of divinty as such as Jesus had on Earth and in Heaven is the Beast and bears the mark of it. Look to the LITTLE HORN from Danial chapt. 8 and look to Revalation chpt.13 seriously study hard your souls depend on it.

[7thdayable]

How can you say that the Catholic Church was a CHURCH before, when the Papacyl rose from the ashes of the Roman Empire . It is admitted in the Caths. books by Caths. that they changed the Sabbath. The Holy Trinity didn't. Changing Times and Laws LITTLE HORN!!!. Read close and patiently the Holy Bible 10 cammandments + Danial chpt. 8 and Revalation. For your own souls fined the truth please. Look to the Holy Bible brothers and sisters, read the Bread of Life and study closly your history PLEASE!

@djvdiddy If a man taught by an Apostle said that you should believe that the bread and wine actually becomes the body and blood of Christ, would you then believe?
