When I was in my old church, ever since I was a kid, communion was always my favorite Sunday of the month. I loved and savored communion and wished it was every week. My conversion or my reversion back to Christianity is in my blog here on CF if anyone cares to read it, just click to view my blog. It's a pretty powerful story. Anyway, as I returned to the church, I was happy a little but something was missing. I couldn't put my finger on what it was until I visited a Catholic Church. Here in Minneapolis we are blessed to have the first Basilica in America. It was there where I was told by my mom who was a lapsed Catholic at the time, I was not allowed to take communion there unless I was Catholic. I joined the parish (online) thinking that joining would make me Catholic. Then when I went back, I found out about RCIA. I was very discouraged and didn't join that year thinking I didn't want to spend so much time in the program. I didn't go back or to another church until 2 years later after doing some research and finding out about the transubstantiation. After that, I had to take RCIA so I could experience this miracle. It was at RCIA when I discovered Catholics take communion every Mass and Mass is every day! I waited patiently through the class and when I finished, I finally got to take the Eucharist. I went back for it again and again. Now I go twice a week to partake of this miracle. I am so happy I came to the Catholic Church. My mother saw my transformation and returned to the Holy Mother Church after staying away for over 50 years!. My brother joined RCIA then next year (he just finished at this year's Easter vigil). Now we all go to the Basilica! Me and my mom twice a week and my brother when he can. It is AWESOME to be in the one true holy and apostolic church. I will never change and I wish everybody could experience the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ like we do. Anyway, sorry for the long story but that's my conversion.
