Question
Dear Sal,
       

                        Nice to have you back how was your vacation? Remember me telling you that I have a calling in life to become a nun well it came back the thing is I noticed my life is like a votex right now. I love God and his catholic church. Supposedly I had that calling of becoming a nun again. Why I dont know maybe I am suppose to be a nun who knows. I feel on the other hand like I am at a fork in the road. Help sal. What to do. I want to have an earthly regular life that I am happy with. By all means that religious call for the nun life keeps on returning Again and again. I now know that God really founded the catholic faith. Christ is the only way to salvation. It was His infinite atonement that forgives our sins.Roman Catholic Church in relationship to the Jewish people and faith.Luke 23:34: "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."

John 18:4 "Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?" Further, this was inherently God's plan, as Christ asked that God's will be done, not His: Luke 22:42 "Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." Only God can condemn a person.Israel 's mission is to teach Jews and Christians about the Jewish roots of the Catholic Faith.

Romans 11:50): "I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham", ... Hence, in order to appreciate to the full the Catholic doctrine of faith, Some are lead to believe that they're origin is found in the Ammonite.  By all means many have to realize Catholic or not Catholic long ago we were called ancient christians or Hebrews. As the Pope says" Other denominational churches founded after catholicism not true churches.Roman Catholic is only true church, pope says ... of the participants, but also fidelity to the identity of the Catholic faith!" So Hence the faith of catholicism is true that means we are Jewish in origing because Jesus was a jew and his teachings were Jewish-Chrisitan.  Not only that people have to stop saying our faith is pagan when it is not. And my question is Where am I to turn I have a calling to become a nun but I feel like I have been stuck at a fork in the road. I need Help Sal?

And my last question is do you believe we are in the end times because many say that 1948 was the mark and starting point for the count down to armageddon so do you think this is true they say that from 1948-2048 is a hundred years from now. Do you think that what is currently happening now is a mere sign from God. And if so do you think the antichrist is a real figure like in human flesh or just a spirit tempting people to do bad and to follow him only? That is were I am also stuck in the bible verses. I am trying so hard to seek and to please God. I don't want to get left behind which I know I wont if I truely believe but I just dont want to fall back from my faith do you know what I mean Sal?

Dear Jacqueline:

My vacation was great, thank you for asking.

I think that you need to stop pressuring yourself. Just live a good Catholic life and you will see all things will fall into place. So relax and let God lead.

Yes, we are in the end times and have been so since the first century. All things are signs from God. The anti-Christ is firstly, a spirit. John wrote that this spirit was already in the world in his day (see 1 John 4:3). Secondly, the anti-Christ is any person that opposes the work of Christ.

God Bless You,
Sal
