Kevin how long before confirmation?

Probably December.

I am sure that your priest told you of other ways of receiving grace in the Catholic church including confession and spending time with the Eucharist(Jesus) at Eucharistic Adoration. Also daily Rosary and asking Mary to intercede on your behalf.

I can't go to confession until I have been confirmed. But yes, we have talked about the rosary and I did it for a while and Mary and so forth. I am going to pick it back up again.

Kevin I have been following your thread along with several others as it is one of the highest viewed threads here.

Yes, I noticed that not long ago. It is kind of embarrassing. I guess I post way to much.

I pray that you know that waiting for Confirmation isn't going to be a cure all for your marriage and God will suddenly make things better. Your confirmation should be something between you and God and not a way to get your M back. You don't have to answer me on here I really don't care I just hope that you are doing it to become closer to God instead of getting your W back. And if she does come back all the better.

I started out going to the catholic church with my dad because I was so devastated and I thought the only one I could turn to was God for help. I honestly still feel that way. But as I was going, I started learning more and more about the catholic faith and it started drawing me in. I realized the more I went and became part of it, the greater divide was going to happen between me and my W as she is very anti-catholic. But I couldn't deny what I was learning in the church. Now I am going for my confirmation for myself and my own salvation. If graces help out, bonus. But that is not why I am becoming catholic. I am slowly at times working on my girls as well and trying to teach them. I get away from it sometimes and have to get back on it. My W doesn't say anything about it.

She actually started taking them back to church. I was shocked. But it is not a catholic church. But I was just so happy that she was taking them to church at all. I thought that was great.
