I've got one student who, as a child, witnessed his father murder his mother. He has had to testify against him, not just at the trial, but every 6 years for the past 30 years, at the parole hearings. He is being received into the Church on the exact anniversary of the murder.
And here's the heart-grabbing part: he told me that he is beginning to grasp that his conversion to Catholicism is empowering him to pray for his father, to be an instrument of his father's repentance, well-being and redemption.
It goes beyond what a human could do unaided, or even want to do. May Jesus be glorified forever!

That is true conversion! Wow!
Thank you so much for sharing that inspiring story. God bless.
