Another 'champion of abortion' becomes defender of life: the story of Sotjan Adasevic

[GonzoII]

In describing his conversion, Adasevic “dreamed about a beautiful field full of children and young people who were playing and laughing, from 4 to 24 years of age, but who ran away from him in fear. A man dressed in a black and white habit stared at him in silence. The dream was repeated each night and he would wake up in a cold sweat. One night he asked the man in black and white who he was. ‘My name is Thomas Aquinas,’ the man in his dream responded. Adasevic, educated in communist schools, had never heard of the Dominican genius saint. He didn’t recognize the name”

Adasevic has told his story in magazines and newspapers throughout Eastern Europe. He has returned to the Orthodox faith of his childhood and has studied the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas.

This guy has a Yugoslavian type name. And after all, the Churches are only in Schism. Correct anyone? They have their own tradition as well.

Good news. People can change. God can change dull metal into gold, can change hard hearts into soft caring hearts, wich God all things are possible.

And a beautiful story!

The painting is "The Triumph of St. Thomas over Averroes" by Benozzo di Lese, called Gozzoli. Averroes was an Islamic philosopher who promoted pantheism - that's him trampled under St. Thomas's feet - St. Thomas is flanked by Aristotle and Plato.

Above is Christ, speaking the famous words when he appeared in a vision to St. Thomas: "Thomas, you have spoken well of me. What do you desire?" St. Thomas answered, "Only you, Lord."

Great story.
