Author Topic: An Amzing Conversion Story (Read 807 times)

I realize that I'm a new member, but, I wanted to share my conversion, or reversion, to the Catholic faith. I was a (very)fallen away Catholic who was lost in a world of secularism. In 1999 I had some amazing encounters that awakened my soul.

Over the years I've shared my encounters numerous times, but, feeling a sense of urgency I recently developed a site to share my testimonial.

The site I created I titled Close encounters with the Holy Trinity. My encounters;

I've been veiwing numerous Catholic forums recently in an effort to convey my experiences. This site, in particular, seems to understand that there is a something more occuring that shouldn't be ignored. I hope that my testimony will be appreciated by the members of this forum.

In Christ, Jon

I've just read your testimonials and frankly, it sounds more of a Protestant than a Catholic one. There were few paragraphs that noted some Catholic teachings but it was never given deeper emphasis.

Also, you mentioned the Blessed Trinity and your guardian angel but I was wondering why you never gave any single attribute to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Hi Joan,

The reason I didn't give any attributes to the Blessed Mother is because She was not revealed to me during my encounters. I do, however, attribute her by stating that it was through my wife praying the rosary that led to these encounters, which I believe promotes reconciling oneself to God.

I trust that the Blessed Mother fulfilled her role in leading me back to the Church.

My objective was to recount my experiences in a humble, geniune manner.

Just because I didn't witness Mary doesn't mean I'm attempting to express a protestant perspective.
