A musician friend, who lives in San Diego, California, had mailed me a box of 5 books. He did not tell me that he was sending it. The books were all about apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God. At this point in my life, I was far from the Church. Over the next 3 years, or so, had finished all the books, and did a great deal of searching online for other apparitions of the BVM. I had read of the miracles at some of apparitions, had visited one of them, in which the BVM had said if a Polaroid camera was blessed, miraculous pictures would appear. I had a camera blessed, and did take 2 miracle pictures. The BVM in other apparitions had spoken of her Son in the Eucharist, Confession, the Rosary, forgiveness and repenting, I reasoned if she was real, Jesus was also real, the Holy Catholic Church was real, and with that, went to Confession, with "Father, it has been over 25 years since my last confession...." When I left I felt like walking on air. Years followed digging into the Church, and how unbelievably deep it is! . |
