Glory to Jesus Christ!

Even though I am Orthodox, (OCA, Diocese of SF and the West, for the record) I have been seriously considering becoming Catholic (Roman, not Byzantine!) for quite some time.

I think I'm really near the point where I am going to do something, but I don't know what.

I know there are people on this list who are former Orthodox turned Catholic, and vice versa.
I humbly ask for ALL your prayers, because I feel truly in between, not sure of what to do. Should I follow my conscience, or stay because of friendships I've made?

Your Brother in Christ,

Michael

Dear Michael,

May you listen to hear the Voice of the Spirit in your convictions and your heart. May you find wisdom to know what God wants of you and the strength to do what you find that you must or need to do.

No matter where you go, you are our Brother in Christ and God's son. You are a member of what Dr. John calls our cyber parish or exarchy or diocese or community. Our love and support will be with you.
