Don't forget that it might be satan whispering in your ear. Anything to weaken your resolve will give him great satisfaction. God be with you.

Of course that is precisely what is going on.

.45MAN and I went through a very complicated and, at times, thoroughly discouraging and frustrating annulment process that took nearly 5 years. I *know*, looking back on it, that satan was in the mix, doing his best to prevent me from coming back to the Church after a twenty-five year absence.

I'll spare you the details, but I'm here to say that it was very much worth the wait. Please hang in there and don't let the trials and tribulations (mostly man-made) that you face discourage you. Your rewards will be many.

Dear ((((((Salvation)))))) - thank you so much for the ping.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

We WILL hang in there. If it takes 2 or 3 or 10 years then that's how long it takes. The upsetting part of this is the lack of info or conflicting info we're receiving from the parish priest thru the Deacon. Hopefully some of this will be cleared up when I meet with the Deacon tomorrow afternoon.

The rewards from attending Mass everyday are too numerous to mention already. The portions of the afternoon I spend in the Chapel praying have also been wonderful.

Peace be with you:)

I'll spare you the details

Please don't! LOL

Seriously, if you could give some indication of what it was that made it take so long...it would be a big help. Of course I understand there may be some things not for public consumption.
