Hello all,
My only request is that you pray for me during these tough times of aloneness and lack of support from friends and family. Converting to Orthodoxy has been something that very few people understand, especially my parents and my "friends". The only person who is happy for me in my boyfriend (God bless him) who is already a catechumen. It has been really hard and I have been criticized every day so far.
My name is Caitlin. Thank you.

Lord, have mercy!
I will be thinking about you, Caitlin. I am glad that you have some support, and this board can be a good place to rant about it.

may God give you great peace. remember your spiritual life in these hard times, and take time to pray regularly from yr church's prayer book and read the psalms. pour your heart out to God and pray blessing on those who oppose you. i know it can be tough, but cling to God who loves you more than anyone  |

Lord, have mercy! Matthew 5:11-12 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. |
