  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Anybody else have a similar testimony?

I didn't really experience a singular conversion moment when everything just changed for me. Instead The Lord gradually changed my ways, through many different moments of teaching me this world is not my friend, and that He will always being there for me though illness and need.

Yet when it comes to testimonies, I usually hear about how The Lord suddenly moved dramatically in a person's life. Has anyone else had experiences similar to mine?

I think a lot of people describe their journey with their faith and Jesus as a walk. This allows for growth a long the way and pretty much can fit what you described as well. People can grow in faith and there can be peaks and fluctuations along the way. I have heard of similar stories to you.

I've had both experiences: a radical conversion when I was a teenager, then another radical one when I was older and in a crisis situation and prayed the rosary (which I have spoken of here).

But in btwn those experiences, I have done what you speak of here, just went about my business and allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me, learning a little at a time each day (sometimes a lot each day!).
