Theresa I had wondered in the last few days when I saw your lovely new blog with the title, "Seeking Old Paths" I just wondered...

I will remember you and your journey in prayer! Can I ask, do you remember who your confirmation saint is? I'd love to pray to her in particular for you. Of course I'll be praying to St Theresa...well you have a few there, St Therese of the Little Flower, the Spainish Carmelite, St Theresa of Avila (my confirmation saint) and the wonderful saint of our times, Mother Teresa!! They're all great patrons!

I'm reading a great, thick book on the life of St Teresa of Avila, it is written by a fabulous author, William Thomas Walsh. St Teresa was born during the reformation and was known as one of the most charismatic of the Church's counter-reformation saints.

I'll share this beautiful quote of St Theresa of Avila with you:

Nada te turbe,
nada te espante;
todo se pasa,
Dios no se muda.
La pacientia todo lo alcanza.
Quien a Dios tiene nada la falta:
solo Dios basta.


Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.

I feel like my eyes have been opened. Never have I seen so much Scripture or understood so much as I do now.


This was me 3 years ago - not as a revert but as a convert. It's such an exciting time but also scary - at least it was for me. I'll definitely pray for you to have discernment and PEACE.

If I remember correctly it was Blessed Rose. My full name is Theresa Marie and I chose Rose as my confirmation name after my grandmother Regina Rose. My mother said that I was named after Therese the Little Flower.

Theresa,
I am so happy for you and I will be praying for you, also. Remember, I am sort of local (MN), too, so if there is anything I can do to help, let me know! God bless you as you seek His will for your life!

Wow! Theresa, praying! I am a REVERT and may I recommend the book Rome Sweet Rome by Scott Hahn if somebody else has not suggested it? Please feel free to pm me. I was away from the Catholic church for four years...I was fortunate to have a lovely friend who was trying to "convert" her Catholic friend to the protestant church only to convert to Catholicsm HERSELF!!!   Also, another book I would love to recommend is Catholism and Fundamentalism by Keating.
Blessings and praying!

Dear Theresa

I am only just seeing this. How amazing! I will be praying and praying for you.

I would be happy to send you Rome Sweet Home - please pm me - I used to have your address from something you sent me - but I am not sure I still do.

As Anne has said - you have some wonderful patrons in the Little Flower and Saint Teresa of Avila.

Hugs!
