I'm at spiritual crossroads again.

How incredibly valuable a soul is! God sent His Only Begotten Son to be tortured and killed by humans so that we may see how to return our souls to heaven. Imagine how valuable a soul must be if God determined this was a fair price to pay! You and your soul are incredibly valuable to God. Clearly, Catholicism, when practiced with understanding and dedication, will lead you to heaven. Isn't any price you have to pay, such as giving up the free masons, worth it?

 

"The Catholic faith is like a lion in a cage. You don't need to defend it, you only need to open the cage door." Bishop Fulton Sheen

 

I agree except I’d advise looking for a traditional Catholic church as opposed to merely the nearest Catholic church.

 

Yesterday, I attended blessed adoration followed by mass with my wife. What a fantastic feeling I received! I confess that my mind often wanders during the Liturgy of the Eucharist but yesterday it was if I was hearing the words for the first time. When the priest reverently transformed the host and the wine into the body and blood of Christ, I was stirred by the presence of Our Blessed Lord. Whereas I do love the reverence of High Mass, my latin is too poor to appreciate the words. Latin mass is beautiful but I am fortified by the English version too.

 

As a former freemason, I do not recommend it. Freemasonry is antithetical to the one true Faith and it has been a major force for evil in the world. It has played a large role in spreading religious indifferentism, numerous societal evils (like divorce), and is more demonic the higher up you go. Thankfully, by the grace of God, I rejected it and converted to the Catholic faith a few years back.

Good, I am glad to hear that you arrived at the decision. If you can find a Latin Mass parish that will be fantastic as their catechesis tends to be top notch (e.g. FSSP, Institute of Christ the King). I am a FSSP parishioner and feel exceptionally lucky to have found them after catechesis from Dominicans.

Dear @Dioplleo_547,
If you want to be connected with your Parish, then go in the same parish, your local parish, because the parish means in greek ενορία that means "the house alongside the house", "the spiritual house", pray a lot for your Priest(the Priest of your parish) because only by his hands you will get the Holy Body, Bleed, Soul and Dinity of Our Lord, the eucharist. The Priest of your parish is your spiritual father, alongside with the Pope. And the other parishers are your spiritual brothers. Pray for these people too. Besides that will be good for you to connect with the people that live in the same city of you, that are in the same reality of you, that share the same catholic faith of you. If you can, you should help with charity works, which consists in a mercy work of Body.

Greetings, Pax Christi.
