What a beautiful story. I was thinking about it all night so I had to read it again this morning. Thanks for posting

It is a truly remarkable story ... and there are more to come :-). I believe you will enjoy this one, as well. Lenten blessings to you.

I will never know, this side of Heaven, whose prayers and sacrifices purchased the graces for my entirely unsought after and undeserved conversion, but I can only thank them profoundly, and exhort others, too, to pray for the conversion of (the world)

Thank you for the link to Roy Schoeman's story. How very similar to Israel Zolli's conversion - both stories start with seeing a Crucifix in the home of a pious family. Every Catholic and Orthodox home should have Holy reminders, and we should all pray for the conversion of the world. Thank God for pious families like Stanislaus's family in Rabbi Zolli' story and the Austrian housekeeper in Roy Schoeman's story.

Now I have to read Fr. Raphael Simon's story "The Glory of Thy People" referenced in Roy Schoeman's article. God bless you, NYer.
