The joy of conversion, Christian community, and the Catholic faith
“Right now, the Holy Spirit is using me and the book to help all of us who are coping with the transition into a new lifestyle of constant restraint and change. I didn’t know that Sharing Your Catholic Faith Story would be used for this purpose, but I’m now realizing that the Holy Spirit had many uses in mind for it. People want to know how to get through this and this book has answers”–Nancy Ward
“I discovered Mary’s place in my life and in the church quite late into my life-long conversion as a Catholic. I had an amazing renewal experience that made me more alive in my faith and I began to be more active in the church in Bible Studies, marriage enrichment, as a eucharistic minister and at daily Mass. I began paying attention to what I accepted in my head but never got to my heart, like the importance of Mary. It was a gradual process, with a surprising vision one day. My husband and I . . .were in Tampa, FL. I went to Mass at noon . . . at historic Sacred Heart Church . . . I wrote about it on my blog in The loving glance of Jesus.”
The Holy Spirit’s mission of evangelizing by sharing our Catholic faith story is perfect for me – and given to every baptized Christian at Baptism. Whatever other career, family commitments, or ministries God has meant for us to do, this one fills all the crooks and crannies. Being ready to bring God’s presence to others by sharing his wonders in our life embraces all our goings-on.
