Thank you for sharing your dream/vision. I was raised Lutheran before it was infiltrated by Liberalism (I am 73). I have always believed that I have a Heavenly Father, and that Jesus was the Son of God who was my Savior, and that there was a place in Heaven prepared for me after my death. Since that time, my journey became difficult and confusing. I married a man with small children who was Baptist. I was told that I should follow my husband's faith as he was my spiritual "head" and chose to do so for the sake of his children. This was a painful time and I suffered under Baptist doctrine. My infant Baptism was unacceptable, and I underwent a second Baptism by immersion, hoping to be welcomed there, even though I felt offended by their attitude. I was a fish out of water...and nothing changed that. When the children were grown, I chose to leave...but much damage had been done. I could not return to the defiled Lutheran Church. I missed the Liturgy, the Holy Communion and the beauty of my previous faith. I began to study the Catholic Church...this was during the time of John Paul II and I was moved by his holiness and demeanor. I made the decision to join the Catholic Church in 2008. I live in a rural area with a small Catholic Church and was faithful for many years, but over time my health has taken a tole, the Priest that I loved left and with little support at home, stopped going to Mass. Now I am house bound, but continue to be in prayer, love the LORD. Please pray for me....
Christine thank you for sharing your story. I will pray for you. I know how it is to have lost your faith, regained it and feel like you have lost it again. I came back to the Catholic Church after many decades away right before covid. Then they closed the churches. I was devastated. I felt like God didn't want me there. But then I found www.livemass.net. There you can watch the Traditional Latin Mass online. I never grew up with the TLM and if you have ever attended one, that is the true Catholic Church. I recommend you watch Mass on that site. I watch the early 6:00am Sunday Mass from Warwick England when I can't make it to Church. God Bless You.

Thank you for your kind response. I will follow the Latin Mass as you suggested. I only wish my dreams were such a blessing as are yours!
