In The Net: Catholic Answers Forums
Seraphim Home Faith Formation for Children
(FFC)
Many
good things can be found in the Net, Catholic Answers Forums is one. At FFC
Sunday School we are talking about Salvation, the
salvation of the children under our care, we try to lay strong faith foundation
for each and every one of them, every soul is precious to us.

“Catholic Answers Forums is the
largest Catholic Community on the Web”
From the desk of Karl Keating
Does It
Work?
I wish you could hear the
phone calls we get and read all the letters and e-mails we receive from people
whose lives have been changed at Catholic Answers Forums.
Here is a small sample of what we receive:
|
Forum Conversions
|
|
"As
a Protestant and long-time believer, I use to argue with Catholics, but now
I'm becoming one of them. I'm finding out that the Catholics are going by what
Christ taught. If you guys doubt your way of evangelizing, don't worry...
one is now entering. Thanks for all that you do."

"This
forum was instrumental in my conversion. I signed up for the full dose of
One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. I will except
none other. Here I stand, God help me."
- - - - -
"God
bless you for these forums. They have been such a blessing in my faith
journey. I came across your site when I was looking for info to support my
belief that Catholicism was flawed. Never have I seen so many charitable defenses of the Catholic position. Long story short, I
have entered RCIA and I plan to become Catholic next Easter. Praise God!
And thank you Catholic Answers!"

Other folks tell us how Catholic
Answers Forums have helped them to start going to Mass on Sundays
and holy days, to go to confession for the first time in years, to
receive Holy Communion again, to live their faith daily.

Forum Rescues

"I
am in tears as I write this. The abundant knowledge and conviction that has
been displayed here has worked wonders in my life. Thank you all and may
our Lord bless you as He has obviously blessed me."

"I
was the worst Catholic on the face of the earth. I left the Church. But
through these forums, I came back home. I can honestly say that these
forums were the only source of information that prompted my return. I am
forever in your debt."
- - - - -
"I
just got back from my first confession in over 30 years. I was in with the
priest like 20 minutes. After pouring my heart out to him, he smiled and
said, "Son, Welcome back." I stood in the parking lot and cried.
I don't cry! It was like a huge boulder was taken off my shoulders. To everyone
who responded to my plea in my last thread, you gave me the courage to go
today. THANK YOU....THANK YOU....THANK YOU!!! God bless you all."

And still other forum
members, newly awakened and strengthened in their Catholic faith, are now
sharing their spiritual treasures with family, friends, neighbors,
and co-workers.

Growth In Faith
|

"God
has answered my prayer! He gave me CAF to be my community. I find the prayer
intentions forum helpful in my daily walk with God. I have the chance to be
prayed for and to pray for others as well. I came to realize the many
blessings that God has given me that I hadn't even noticed before.

"Catholic
Answers Forums has been instrumental in providing me with armor to fight the Good Fight in my life and to help
others see the Light of Christ. I've found riches beyond compare here.
Thanks to Catholic Answers and all the Faithful who fight to Live and to help
others as they seek Life."

"Hi
everybody. I'm a missionary priest here in South Korea for a year. I have
lived my faith in bad times and good, but I still need to deepen my
knowledge about our faith. Thanks to God, I'm here at CAF. Only here on the
forums have I found this great help in my ministry. God bless us all."

Jesus said, "The
harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few"
(Matt. 9:37)
This shows how much God depends on us all to get his work done!
He desperately wants to reach the lost sheep who are wandering in the fields
and in the desert.
And Catholic Answers Forums are an extremely effective way to
reach tens of thousands of people every day with the truth.
As one forum member put it:
|
|
|
"I
love you guys!! You are saving the world one soul at a time."
|
|
|
|
|

But these efforts need to be
nourished and supported if they are to grow.
