Dear Anna, I’m from a Protestant Evangelical background yet I’ve had an ecumenical, contemplative aspect to my faith for many years to the extent that I don’t label myself as anything apart from Christian. Over the last few months I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to Catholicism. It’s predominantly through articles I’ve been reading here, a continued fascination with the saints and mystics that started several years ago, and a deepening desire to discover what it means to use a rosary and honour Mary as she truly is. There are various obstacles in my way that I’d prefer to discuss with you privately, but I remain intrigued. Thank you for this interesting post. Bless you, dear friend. ❤️
That's fascinating, Joy. I see the Catholic faith in you 😊, so your interest doesn't surprise me. People tell me that we also don't choose the saints we are drawn to- they choose us, desiring to intercede for us.
When I read through the Catechism it surprised me to see how the Holy Spirit had already guided me into the truths in there, through Scripture and my personal experiences and questioning. I could imagine you having a similar experience reading it.
Thank you, dear Anna, for your helpful response to my comment and your generous offer to field any questions I might have via email. I’ll be in touch soon.
