This was beautiful! What a delightful letter for your children. I’ve been a Christian for over 50 years, but joined the Catholic Church at Easter in 2022, really was blessed by your instruction on the readiness to receive the Eucharist and the types of soil. Thanks!
My wife was raised Lutheran, which was the closest to Catholic regarding the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. We were in the military for 20 years, so lots of moves, wide range of denominations attended. The Eucharist was not difficult to accept. Our younger son converted 9 years ago, and he and his wife were instrumental in leading us to the Catholic Church, and was very focused on us understanding the sacraments, especially those we would celebrate daily and weekly.
That's wonderful that your son was instrumental, and that you get to celebrate the Sacraments together - not everyone gets that grace! I'm very happy for you, thanks for sharing, Chuck.
Wow, praise God, thanks, Chuck! Congratulations on your relatively recent reception into the Church.
I'd be really curious to hear what your experience of the Eucharist has been coming from another denomination. Was it a difficult doctrine for you to accept? What were your previous beliefs on the Lord's Supper?
