Conversion by The Rosary
I myself am a cradle Catholic but in 1993 I fell in love with Catholicism all over again through the rosary. Mary has a neat way of making us regain our faith. In this instance she came to me to get me to go to see the Pope, at the time I was sinning big time and still single. I needed to be inspired. She first sent me to the Medj. Peace conference in Irvine where I spoke to visionaries that had seen the Blessed Mother. I then met up with a group at St. Josephs Church in Santa Ana Calif to pray the rosary. That is all that it took. Saying the rosary to me is like falling in love all over again. I need nothing else but prayer and solitude. When I am meditating on the mysteries of the rosary it is the one thing that gets me through these hard times.
The rosary and the Eucharist is all I need to get me through these harsh times. I recently took out my well used copy of Scott Hahn’s Rome Sweet Home to revitalize my faith. A good conversion story gets me going. I feed off the energy of Scott’s book. I first got hooked on Scott, sort of like hooked on Phonics…when I listened to his tapes while I worked alone in my garage years ago. Notice I said tapes. Now I take out the worn tattered cover of his book and reread it when my spirits are down.
Now I would like to write a short montage of Catholic converts that were drawn to the religion through the rosary. If you are one of those, tell me your story and send it to me by emailing me at vernpaul@catholicamericatoday.net
also post it here so others may see it too. Inspire me once again people, for my business is down and I wonder if I will make it through these hard times. Pray for me as well and this great country of ours.
