New to Catholicism - Any Suggestions Welcome
Hi all, first time poster here so thank you for having me.
I have recently felt a calling to Christ, to follow his word and abide by him. However, I was never raised in a religious household so I am feeling overwhelmed in where to start. I was gifted a King James edition bible but am wanting tips / suggestions in how the bible should actually be read, understood and followed.
I have yet to attend a mass or find a local Parish yet, so that may contribute to my feelings of being lost and not sure where to start.
I have reached out to a couple of parishes to see their processes on RCIA and I'm unsure if this was a sign, but I'm starting to think it is, that one of the churches I reached out to are in a different locality to me, however I went on a drive about an hour in the opposite direction, and happened to find a park infront of another church (both Catholic) with the same names. Could this simply be a coincidence, or is this a sign for me to join him on this Journey.
I am also happy to receive any recommendations on study materials / bibles, podcasts and all that stuff.
I have so many questions but don't know where to start, thank you all for your time!
