I connected with you on Instagram. Enjoyed your photo images of you and your family. Thanks for all you do. These videos are helpful.

3:46 I have been to 4:09 a Catholic Church mom and stepdad wants to retire to Florida I never get a chance to go back to my Catholic Church 5:37 I’m looking for a Catholic Church 6:05

8:40 how do I get back to Catholic Church 9:00

Glenn Rogers Same thing for me! I was raised Baptist but I was never really into anything they did. I went to mass with my husband and his family and I haven’t stopped going since

Glenn Rogers I was raised the same, about to go to my first mass tomorrow

Same here, I was raised southern Pentecostal in Georgia my entire life and after 18 years in church and a few living in sin, I joined the Catholic Church last year and this Easter will be my one year anniversary in the church. The Peace at Mass is what drew me also

I know what you mean as well. My family has been looking for the truth for years, I am 24 but my Mom was raised as a bus kid. She has never quite felt satisfied with mainstream christianity. Growing up I have been to almost every kind of church except Episcopal and Catholic. My Dad was raise Holiness (kind of like Pentecostal) and has always leaned that was or southern Baptist. So I am VERY familiar with that. I have never felt peace in those churches. I am currently looking into the catholic church funny enough after touring a catholic college and going into the chapel. It felt instantly peaceful, something you dont get from a "normal" church. Unfortunately I was unable to go to the college but that has always stuck with me. Sorry that was long lol.

As a child I attended mass. Raised as a Baptist, I’m converting back to my Catholic Faith. Thank you

Our words are divided a year or so apart but wow are these words especially relevant right now. For those reading in the future, there has been an uptick in extremely unfortunate and senseless school shootings in America. I went to a mass recently after this most recent school shooting and it really helped the parents/grandparents of children in the church feel solace and a bit of calm in the storm.

I hope you’re doing well, God bless

Same

@@AllusernamesgoneFUCK God bless and I hope you will continue to learn more about Christ. I will pray for you. 💕

True. Sometimes I am being discouraged. Sometimes I think I get bored and want to go back to the world, but then I think that if I do that I will become depressed again! Knowing that material things and people do change, so is the happiness they bring, how long? How long will it last, the discontentment of the world? But religion, especially Catholicism brings contentment. It even has a very positive view of suffering, which is inevitable, whether we are part of religion or not, whether we believe in God or not. It teaches and encourages us that God makes use of our suffering for something better, for the good of other people and in rare cases it bring us supernatural experiences as in the case of mystics, for example St. Teresa of Avila!

totally! the euphoria i felt in my first catholic mass was great, i compared later that way more better anf fulfilling than being high (I'm a recovering drug addict). i miss masses so bad

Oh yeah! Not sure if I'm down for all of their doctrine, but they definitely are not faking it (most of them anyway).

He's there.

How did it go? :) I’m gonna attend mass this weekend by myself and I’m so nervous.

@@Nadsow Homestly, it’s so amazing, I was also nervous when I first went and I realized I had built it up in my head for nothing. My only regret was waiting to go so long because of my nerves. I urge you to go and just be in Christ’s presence.

All the Angels and saints are with you, as well as our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ. You are never alone. We are never alone! I was so relieved to learn that. 🙏

😂now THAT story deserves a comment!

This happened to me exactly the same way. I was just following behind my friend, and almost crashed into her when she knelt before entering the pew.

Kenny Gray am becoming catholic and I ask do I to do my baptism then a can do confession

Kenny Gray Welcome home.

By now you should be baptized. Congrats and welcome!!!

Kenny Gray me to I am Emma

Congratulations Kenny. I also did my RCIA last year. #proudcatholic

David Santiago may mama Mary keeps blessing your path to know Jesus and the Eucharist.. 🌷

I started mine this week.

Welcome home

Welcome home.

That's great, God Bless you by the intercession of the Virgin Mary!

Just believe lol make the choice to be a religious person and it will be easier. Dont focus on the really difficult questions that plagues fence sitters (physical evidence) and just immerse yourself.

Best wishes and Blessings.

Those who trust in the Lord will also receive a spouse that trust in the Lord.Instead of praying to Valentine next month try praying to St.Joseph.Let St.Joseph surprise you.The spouse of the Virgin Mary.

She MUST be catholic. Protestants do not have the sacrifice spirit that is needed in the catholic marriage.

Hello!😊 how are you? How is your day going? How is your conversion going?

I was a single mom. Thank God for Guardian angels! Prayers. Well, you might consider receiving Communion on the tongue, like a little child. Jesus said be simple like a child. It is more direct & then you do not have to think about washing your hands first. It sounds to me like you are a very sensitive & spiritual one, which is a good thing. Something is making you feel restless. If I may say, you may feel a deeper connection with [& this may sound very odd, as it may seem so out of this world foreign] with a Traditional Latin Mass, if you can find one. You may have a more contemplative nature & like entering into The Silence which is not empty. A lot of strength comes in this manner. Well, I hope I have not offended you. A priest said as soon as you think of God, He is there. You do not have to do more than that. It is that easy. God Bless.❤

Yes these are great one too! Very important to be respectful!

Yes, the Church is the house of God and treat it sacred with full of respect. Go to Church early before the Mass begin to avoid disturbance, haste, etc. Normally, Novena and Rosary prayed before the actual Mass started. You'll be more in the Spirit, more prepared and feel more peaceful. God bless.

We had a babies screaming the whole time at our holy hour.....I was trying to concentrate it was tough too

I went up to priest with my arms crossed and the priest gave me a mean look...it was awkward. So I stood a second and then I walked back to my seat. How embarrassing

You will do great! I’m so excited for you!

That is awesome! I love the Knights of Columbus! Thank you for serving the church!

WOW!! Your are a Knight, just lime me. I am happy for you Brother. I am so proud to be a Knight that I am totally involved in my church. Keep the good work. Vivat Jesus.

Welcome home Treva Peres, from Johannesburg, South Africa. I often watch mass online from Melbourne with Fr. Rob Galea, amazing priest. GOD bless!

I did RCIA in 2019 also! Wonderful decision.

great one:)

Jennifer Thomson Are non-Catholics expected to do this?

Skynet for the reason he just said. He is on duty and required to wear it.

As a very broken retired professional dancer , it's hard for me to kneel up and down .

101327 , I’m also disabled and can gently bow my head. I’m going through RCIA now. Learn something new on a daily basis and adapt each thing to a do-able method! Blessings.

Good one! Thanks for sharing

I've never seen them up, all our churches have them down.

Also, I was taught in Catholic school to never use your feet to lower the kneeler. Only your hands.

My old priest would say that when a kneeler made that loud noise a volcano goes off

That’s a lie

I will add that to my list of videos to do! Thank you:)

That's why you get communion as a kid. I don't practice Catholicism but I did my communion at 8 years old with a pure heart 😁

So glad the help! I’m glad you are here and welcome home!

Come home!

When genuflecting it is always with the right knee all the way to the floor. I know it's a little thing but always the right knee, and facing the tabernacle. Also, in some more modern Catholic church buildings the tabernacle isn't in the Sanctuary (I don't know why). If the tabernacle is not present don't genuflect. Instead bow from the waist facing the altar.

I never understood this. I always thought that the priest had to walk out of the church before you leave.

Many don't know this but they're doing what Judas did: "Having received the piece of bread, he then left immediately.", John 13:30

YES! YES! YES! Thank you for saying this! I wish I would have thought to put this in the video because it is so important!

Brenda Fuemmeler it's like leaving a party/ banquet without dessert.

Mass begins at the sign of the cross and ends with the final blessing /sign of the cross, to come in late or leave before that without good reason is a sin. Technically one can leave after the final blessing, however, I stay until the end of the hymn for decorum and out of respect for our music ministry.

Godspeed.

So glad it helped!

yes well said! Thank you for sharing!

I' visit my catholic and regulars sit in the same seat so I always end up having to sit at the front and I don't go regularly and not catholic

Sorry for the typos

The Entire Catholic Mass Comes Directly From The Bible ( In 2 posts since it’s too long) THE INTRODUCTORY RITES Priest: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit ( Mt. 28:19). Congregation: Amen (1 Chr. 16:36). Greeting by Priest [Form A] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all (2 Cor.13:13). [Form B] The grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you (1 Pet. 1:3). [Form C] The Lord be with you (Ruth 2:4). PENITENTIAL RITE Priest and Congregation: I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault (cf. James 5:16) in my thoughts and in my words (Rom. 12:16; James 3:6) in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; (James 4:17) and I ask Blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God (1 Thess. 5:25). Priest: May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive our sins, and bring us to everlasting life (1 Jn. 1:9). Priest and Congregation: Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy (Tob. 8:4; 1 Tim. 1:2). GLORIA Priest and Congregation: Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth (Lk. 2:14). Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, (Rev. 19:6) we worship you (Rev. 22:9), we give you thanks (Eph. 5:20), we praise you for your glory (Rev. 7:12). Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father (2 Jn. 3), Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us (cf. Jn. 1:29); you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer (Rom. 8:34). For you alone are the Holy One (cf. Lk. 4:34), you alone are the Lord (Rev. 15:4), you alone are the most High, Jesus Christ (Lk. 1:32), with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen (Jn. 14:26). LITURGY OF THE WORD: First Reading (Taken from the Old Testament) Responsorial Psalm Second Reading (Taken from the Epistles, Acts of the Apostles & parts of the New Testament) Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia Gospel Reading (Taken from any of the Four Gospels, on a three-year cycle.)

PROFESSION OF FAITH Priest and Congregation: We believe in God, the Father, Almighty, maker of heaven and earth (Gen. 14:19), of all that is seen and unseen (Col. 1:16). We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father (Lk. 1:35), God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father (Heb. 1:3). Through him all things were made (Jn. 1:1-4). For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven (Jn. 3:13): by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man (Mt. 1:18). For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate (Jn. 19:16); he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:3); he ascended into heaven (cf. Lk. 24:51) and is seated at the right hand of the Father ( Col. 3:1). He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead (2 Tim. 4:1), and his kingdom will have no end (Lk. 1:33). We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life (Acts 2:17), who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified (Jn. 14:16). He has spoken through the Prophets (1 Pet. 1:10-11). We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church (Rom. 12:5). We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38). We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen (Rom. 6:5). LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST Priest: Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have this bread to offer, which earth has given and human hands have made (Qo 3:13). It will become for us the bread of life (Jn. 6:35). Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have this wine to offer, fruit of the vine and work of human hands. It will become our spiritual drink (Lk. 22:17-18).

Congregation: May the Lord accept this sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his Church (Ps. 50:23). EUCHARISTIC PRAYER Priest: Lift up your hearts. Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord (Lam. 3:41). Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God (Col. 3:17). Congregation: It is right to give him thanks and praise (Col. 1:3). PREFACE ACCLAMATION Priest and Congregation: Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest (Is. 6:3; Mk. 12:9-10).

Eucharistic Prayer I We come to you, Father, with praise and thanksgiving, through Jesus Christ your Son (Eph. 5:20). Through him we ask you to accept and bless these gifts we offer in you in sacrifice (2 Macc. 1:26). We offer them for your holy Catholic Church, watch over it, Lord, and guide it; grant it peace and unity throughout the world. We offer them for N. our pope, for N. our bishop, and for all who hold and teach the Catholic faith that comes to us from the apostles (Jn. 17:21; Acts 2:42). Remember, Lord, your people, especially those for whom we now pray, N. and N. Remember all of us gathered here before you. You know how firmly we believe in you and dedicate ourselves to you. We offer you this sacrifice of praise for ourselves and those who are dear to us. We pray to you, our living and true God, for our well-being and redemption (Ps. 106:4; Heb. 13:15). In union with the whole Church, we honor Mary, the ever-virgin mother of Jesus Christ our Lord and God. We honor Joseph, her husband, the apostles and martyrs, Peter and Paul, Andrew…and all the saints. May their merits and prayers gain us your constant help and protection (Mt. 1:2-16; Lk. 16:9; 1 Cor. 12:12, 20f; Rev. 5:8). Father, accept this offering from your whole family. Grant us your peace in this life, save us from final damnation, and count us among those you have chosen (Col. 1:11). Bless and approve our offering; make it acceptable to you, an offering in spirit and in truth (Jn. 4:24). Let it become for us the body and blood of Jesus Christ, your only Son, our Lord. The day before he suffered he took bread in his sacred hands and looking up to heaven, to you, his almighty Father, he gave you thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you (Mt. 26:26-28). When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me (Mt. 26:26-28). MEMORIAL ACCLAMATION: Let us proclaim the mystery of faith (1 Tim. 3:16): Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again (1 Cor. 15:3-5). Father, we celebrate the memory of Christ, your Son. We, your people and your ministers, recall his passion, his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension into glory; and from the many gifts you have given us we offer to you, God of glory and majesty, (1 Pet. 1:18-21) this holy and perfect sacrifice (Heb. 9:13-14): the bread of life and the cup of eternal salvation (Jn. 6:54). Look with favor on these offerings and accept them as once you accepted the gifts of your servant Abel (Gen. 4:4), the sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith (Gen. 22:12), and the bread and wine offered by your priest Melchisedech (Gen. 14:18). Almighty God, we pray that your angel may take this sacrifice to your altar in heaven (Rev. 8:3-4). Then, as we receive from this altar the sacred body and blood of your Son, let us be filled with every grace and blessing (Eph. 1:3). Remember, Lord, those who have died and have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, especially those for whom we now pray, N. and N. May these, and all who sleep in Christ, find in your presence light, happiness, and peace (1 Thess. 4:13, 14). For ourselves, too, we ask some share in the fellowship of your apostles and martyrs, with John the Baptist, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas…Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha… and all the saints (Col. 1:12). Though we are sinners, we trust in your mercy and love. Do not consider what we truly deserve, but grant us your forgiveness (Ps. 25:7). Through him you give us all these gifts. You fill them with life and goodness, you bless them and make them holy (Ps. 104:27-28). *The following Eucharistic prayers find their expressions in the following Scripture passages: Eucharistic Prayer II (2 Macc. 14:36; Phil. 2:8; Jn. 10:17-18; Mk. 14:22-25; Heb. 2:14-15; Jn. 6:51; 1 Cor. 10:17; 2 Macc. 12:45-46; 2 Thess. 1:4-5) Eucharistic Prayer III (Tob. 8:5; Jn. 1:3; Ps. 113:3; Lk. 22:19-20; 1 Cor. 11:26; Mk. 13:33; 2 Cor. 5:19; Eph. 4:3; Eph. 5: 25-27; Jn. 17:22, 23; Col. 1:4-5) Eucharist Prayer IV (Gen. 1:26; Is. 55:6; 55:3; Gal. 4:4-5; Heb. 4:15; Lk. 4:18; 1 Cor. 15:54-57; Jn. 14:16; Heb. 9:15; Jn. 13:1; 1 Cor. 11:23-25; Jn. 4:42; 1 Pet. 3:18, 19; Eph. 1:19-20; Mt. 25:31; 1 Cor. 12:12, 27; Acts 10:35; Rom. 8:20-21) DOXOLOGY Priest: Through him, with him, in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever. AMEN (Rom. 11:36). COMMUNION RITE The Lord's Prayer: Priest and Congregation: “Our Father” (Mt. 6:9-13). Priest: Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day.

Congregation: For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. SIGN OF PEACE Priest: Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles: I leave you peace, my peace I give you. Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church, and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom where you live and reign for ever and ever (Jn. 14:27). The peace of the Lord be with you always (Jn. 20:19). BREAKING OF THE HOST Lamb of God: Priest and Congregation: Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us…. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace (Jn. 1:29). COMMUNION Priest: This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper (Rev. 19:9). Priest and Congregation: Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed (Mt. 8:8). CONCLUDING RITES: FINAL BLESSING & DISMISSAL Priest: The Lord be with you. Congregation: And also with you (Ruth 2:4). Priest: May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Lk. 24:51). Go in the peace of Christ (Lk. 7:50; 2 Chron. 35:3). Congregation: Thanks be to God (2 Cor. 9:15).

EWTN is wonderful!

Brynn Kohler maybe that’s why Protestant churches serve grape juice rather than wine, they don’t want to give humanity any ideas about drinking alcohol in church. Of course, the transubstantiation would make effects of alcohol beholden to God’s will rather than keeping a watered down version of a sacrament.

MissPopuri but a lot of Catholic masses don't even use the wine part anymore... just bread...

Most prods don't believe in anything

Yes they do, they see the bread and wine as a symbol just that. And this is coming from an ex protestant, received by the church this past Easter of '18 .

@@MissPopuri , been sober for 13yrs, you don't have to drink the wine, God knows you're struggle

GREAT one! Thank you for sharing!

It is exactly right!!!!!!!

What changes did you notice? I'm asking because we don't say the Apostles creed very often.

I think the changes run throughout, but for an example, start at the beginning. This is what my 2018 Missal says: "I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell..." Previously it had been, "I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead." The meaning is the same but the wording is different enough that it throws me off when reciting it in a group.

i'll have to check on that. Thanks for bringing that up.

Here's a quick overview from an article on USCatholic.org. Hope this helps! "The first full revised Latin texts of the Mass after the Second Vatican Council were released in 1969. ICEL released its first full English translation in 1970; that English text was used with minor changes until November of this year. In 1983 ICEL began work on a second English translation of the Mass, based on a 1975 second edition of the Latin texts, in the hopes of producing a more poetic English translation. That version was approved by all the English-speaking conferences of bishops and sent to Rome in 1998. In 2001, however, the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship issued a new instruction on translation, Liturgiam authenticam, which called for a strict literal translation of the Latin text and a more elevated tone. Pope John Paul II then created a small group of bishops called Vox Clara to oversee English translations. Based on the new translation rules, the Vatican rejected the 1998 translation of the Mass. ICEL was disbanded and then recreated with new translators, who began work on a new English translation of the Mass. This new, more literal English translation must be used beginning with the First Sunday of Advent 2011. In addition to the response, “And with your spirit,” many of the people’s parts, along with all the prayers proclaimed by the priest, have changed significantly to follow Latin word order and grammar. Their more complex structure and vocabulary will require extra care and attention as English-speaking Catholics get used to a new style of praying together."

Thanks for posting this!

I'm adding...OPEN your heart to Jesus, just be open to His Spirit.

Thank you! Amazing back in the 70’s if you questioned anything or were confused you were punished. Very very well explained

That is so wonderful! I think just being honest and talking to God about wanting to have faith is a good way to start, just talking to God like he is your best friend or your father. He wants a relationship with you, it might feel weird at first like your talking to yourself but just try to envision Jesus. I would love to coach you if you need help! My email address is acatholicmomslife@gmail.com asking Jesus’s Mother Mary for help would be nice too.

The important thing is you have to believe and trust in God for you! Talk to the people at churches to learn more about the faith, read the Bible online, but please do it for yourself, not to please anyone else, please God. Everyone gets to know God at their own pace. I didnt believe him for 20 years until I had my first close experience with God. Now I love him so much. You will get there if you keep praying for him and trusting him. God gave us our lives. :)

Oh nice! I hope this is helpful to them!

T F same, my family always sat right up front growing up and so did all the other families with kids because we could see what was going on and would be more encouraged to join the community and participate and stuff when we would be old enough, now that we’re not kids anymore we sit a few pew further so that the new families with younger kids can sit up front but no matter where I sit I need to be able to see what’s going on up front or else I’ll get too distracted and not properly pay attention

T F I agree Pope Francis gave that recommendation. My 2 year old knows all the prayers and process of mass, by us sitting 1st pew and him observing and hearing

lol I love it! :)

Morgan...Obviously, it's because you love your faith and wish to share it.

There’s always room to learn more! :)

Awesome!!

Never apologise for your English: it's great (& the very first sentence you ever strung together in English is better than my Italian will ever be ;)

That is so exciting!!! I am so happy for you!

@@ACatholicMomsLife thanks...its been a long time coming... the monastery I'll be associated with is St. Meinrad Archabbey....useually you go to the monastery to make your final oblation after a year as an oblate novice....but my car is in sad shape so fortunately God smiled on me and there is a monk who is going to be going to springfield il to the cathedral of the immaculate conception for a deaconate ordination and his trip will take him right through where I live so on divine mercy Sunday he will be here to preside at the rite for final oblation that will take place during the morning mass here...I'm excited alot because aside from it taking me a bit longer to complete my novitiate and this being such a long time coming..I feel it will better equip me as the sacristan here at my home parish....I'm still in discernment to decide if I am being called to become an actual monk or called to ordained life, but for now I'm just super grateful to God for allowing me to finally complete this part of my journey. So thanks again...I truly appreciate it.

Never heard of Children's liturgy. Isnt that a prodestant thing?

God Bless you!

At age 70 and a Catholic from birth, I can't describe how happy I feel when I see someone like you take the first steps towards Catholicism. Nervousness is to be expected but let go and let God take control. So excited about your conversion - you're in my prayers.

Thank you:)

Sergio Morales; Great way to serve the church.Collection time.Being nervous shows humility.We need humility for grace.God grants a few extra graces when assisting at mass no matter what capacity.

Thanks! My daughter is an altar server too.

That is great! Thank you for serving!

Sergio Morales - Thumb up for serving the House of God. One correction though: that particular collection during the Mass is called *Offertory.* We're at times called upon to make donations, eg to support a project or help finance Youth pilgrimage, etc., but that's usually after Mass or as a 2nd collection, usually after the announcements, "post-communion". Summary: Offertory is part of Mass; donation is not. God bless.

@Dillon Werner Yes we do! In Swedish it is called "Nattvarden"

Margo Karpiak that is awesome! I’m excited for you!😊

Thank you!
