I guess I left out a small detail, he had confessed Christ to a Minister, while in the hospital sometime in 2002. But it did concern us all, because, other than a more docile, humble spirit, his life had shown little evidence of contrition. My sister in Law, married into a Catholic family, but I would characterize their devotion as tepid, not fervent. Her two sons are much more reverent.
This blessed event is changing hearts. Revival is breaking out, in spite of the flesh.
Fortunately for us, God is slow to anger and of great kindness, and patient — very patient. As one of Angela Thirkell’s nicest characters, Father Fewling, said, “He can afford to wait, on and off, for years and years.”
Your story has moved my heart dear FRiend.
I'm guessing you mean he confessed Jesus is Lord, come in the flesh...And if it was a Protestant Minister, your father in law likely accepted Jesus as his Saviour...In which case, he's in Heaven this very minute...
Seeing a vision or ghost of Mary will get you nothing...And seeing a vision of Mary does not mean it was the Catholic Mary...
