sweens8403 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hello everyone! I am here due to the tireless efforts of my friends Brian and Paul whom you may know as Ziggamafu and Saint Olaf. Having grown up as a Baptist you can all be assured that they didn't reel me in easily.... until they showed me the Bible that is, as well as what Catholics ACTUALLY believe vs. what I've been told they believe. They both tell me that many of you on this forum have been praying for me during this whole process, so for that I thank you all very much. My real name by the way is Matt Sweeney. I look forward to learning more about the Catholic church and to coming into full communion with it. Thanks y'all, Matt S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary's Goddaughter Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The Lord said that there will be more rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who have no need of repentance. Now, earthly rejoicing ain't nearly the same as heavenly rejoicing (the beatific vision must launch it to a new level), but I'm doing some anyway. Welcome!
