In the nation where I live, becoming a Christian is prohibited and considered a crime. If we come to light, we will be beheaded. Fear of persecution prevents the Catholic Church from preaching or baptizing. They fear for themselves because many priests were murdered by the crowd for converting Muslims. Thus, we are trapped in a cycle of loneliness and terror. As new Catholics, we are not allowed to be married, live, or get baptized. Although we are legally Muslims, we secretly identify as Catholics. We don’t know what to do. I am disappointed.

That’s really sad!
Stay strong in faith, my friend. It is definitely hard to feel that way, wanting to express your love for God and Christ, but being impeded. I’ll pray for you and your family. This world has so much wrong in it; people have so much hate in their hearts. It is pretty disappointing. I hope you and your family have a great life and can be with Jesus, even if it needs to be a secret for now.
I’m pretty sure God knows what you are going through and totally understands that it isn’t your fault you’re not baptized or married or anything. God is love, and He will greet you with open arms. You staying strong in faith, even with this obstacle, shows your faith is real, and I’m pretty sure Christ sees it that way. I don’t know how to comfort you, and I feel bad that I can’t do anything to help, but I’ll pray for you. I wish you the best.
Christ’s peace!

Peace be with you, I am praying for you and I am sorry to hear that. I hope that someday your family can come out safe from that nation. Can I ask if it is possible for you and your family to leave this nation and immigrate to another?
