I want to tell you something that happened to me years ago.

I converted to Catholicism at age 23 and one of the factors in my decision was that I sensed a presence was near me. I sensed benevolence and victory over the self in that presence. I was going through a terrible moment in my life ( woman I loved turned me down - went off with someone old enough to be her grandfather instead FAIL ), and frustrated at this and believing God had abandoned me, I believe he sent a spirit to aid me.

Long story short. I was rehabilitated by the presence I felt. I could feel the presence, and at times on days when drowning in tears, I would physically feel a hand touch my face in reassurance.

It was not long before I became happy and regained my strength, due to the presence. It moved me to pray a great deal, and to go to the TLM I had went to more often.

Do you think I imagined this?
I never heard the presence speak or anything, but the touch to the arm or face was undeniable. I was touched by a ghost. I believe God sent the spirit to aid my conversion to the faith.

St Theresa of Avila talks about this.
