RCIA starts on 28th Sept. DH has yet to say whether he is planning on going or not. If not it will be yet another year without Communion for him. He does believe in what the Church teaches, comes to Mass, somewhat joins with prayers, rosary etc, supports the faith of the children, etc etc, but unless the priest personally asks him I doubt he will go - he's just that kind of man, and tends to focus on one "issue" at a time. Please pray for him. And for me to just keep my mouth shut! I am praying for your intentions.

Praying for you and your husband. The year my dh expressed some interest I immediately signed us up and got my mom to agree to watch the kids every Sunday and we had "date night"  I vaguely remember him saying I just was thinking about it well you shouldn't think out loud  The outcome was he was very happy we did it. St Monica is a great help.... Annie

Praying, Lucy! My DH started RCIA before we were married, stopped going, and then picked it up again after we were married and even managed to work out continuing after a cross country move in the middle of the course.
I held my tongue and let him decide for himself. And prayed a lot. I'm glad that I know he converted on his own, without coercion.
Praying for your husband!

I've been there and it took the words of God coming from somewhere else to turn the tide with my hubby. He and our middle daughter were baptized at the same time at the Easter Vigil 3 years ago! I'll pray for your hubby!

Praying. I agree, don't lose hope. I have seen the conversions of the most unlikely suspects! With God's grace your husband may do exactly what you don't think he will...and Green Scapular. Get it blessed and put it under his side of the mattress. Pax, Barbara
