Hi everyone, I’d like to introduce my self, my name is Clara, I’m 23 years old and I grew up in a cmri church but fell away at the early age of 14. I do have a very hard time sometimes, but never the less, I won’t let the enemy stop me from coming back. I want to bring my family back to the faith and all those around me to find the faith but it is hard I am coming to this page for support. My family all grew up in the church but no one practices it anymore and it breaks my heart. I am trying to convert my partner, we unfortunately had children out of wedlock and are planning to get married in the church. My grandmother Myrna was a wonderful catholic and I thank her for showing me the faith. Please pray for me. I am lost and I know the enemy is trying to deceive me but I love God so much. This is a hard journey coming back, but worth it. I have no churches around me except a sspx that comes twice a month, but I have never heard of sspx till I came back. I am a little confused with sspx and everything.

His name is Brandon. He did not grow up in the faith but he has an interest and wants to learn more and convert. He is very supportive of me with my journey back to the faith.

Clara,
Welcome to the forum!
Do you mean the beloved Myrna, that all of us knew and thought very highly of was your grandmother? I am sure she is praying for you right now and winning graces for you to find your way back to the practice of your Faith.
Don't worry about all the controversies. Just get to a valid mass and keep praying and persevering. Getting to Heaven is not easy. SSPX, is fine to go to, get to Mass as frequently as you can.
Regarding the father of your children, pray for him, but first get yourself on a stronger footing. Try to avoid anything that may push him away due to a misunderstanding or emotion. If you are able, have masses said for him, say rosaries for him, and hopefully you will win his conversion. Talk to the SSPX priest about marriage with him if he will convert.

Clara, you are in my intentions of the Rosary, absolute trust in God and especially be patient with yourself and your crosses, do not be discouraged and do not fall into despair because your environment seems to be going badly... God always works in crooked lines, remember that.
May Our Lady protect you and your family.

I am a little confused with sspx and everything. Hi Clara, I attend the SSPX myself but formerly attended the CMRI. I would agree with you that their position on the present crisis the Church is facing is confusing. However they are solid in many other areas. Ensure that the priest serving you was ordained by an SSPX Bishop and you can be confident that his orders are valid and you are receiving valid sacraments. If they came from the Novus Ordo/Concilliar Church then we'll guide you further on how to approach things to make sure you're ok. I'll keep you in my prayers. JL

Congratulations to Clara! Always encouraging to see someone coming back to the faith! especially at such a young age. Unlike me, old, I should have been gone when I was a kid, I have 5 sisters and 4 brothers and most of them left the faith, Jesus said, wide is the gate and narrow is the entry, many are called and few are chosen, we must follow the narrow entry to Jesus! To stop following family or friends is hard, but the world is not worth giving up Heaven. I'm learning as I continue to follow the faith more people want nothing to do with me especially family members. I'm okay with that! God bless everyone and I will keep everyone here in my prayers!

Oh it’s hard! I tried to ask my sister to come to church and I encouraged her to read the Bible and she made fun of me and called me a Bible thumper. I also have many people telling me that I’m satanic for following the Catholic Church but I just pray for them and keep doing what I’m doing. God Bless your soul. I will keep you in the intentions of my rosary along with everyone else here.
