"I have the same Spirit within me that the church leaders have in them...I am told to 'search the scriptures' to know that I have eternal life...Not to blindly trust a bishop, deacon or priest..."

Years ago, after I had become a Catholic, then fallen away from the practice of my faith, I came to a crossroads. I had been with a Baptist Bible study group for a year or two, and felt myself on the horns of a dilemma. Finally, one night, I prayed, "What shall I do, Lord? Shall I leave the Catholic Church? All I want is the TRUTH, wherever that leads me."

I know it will sound odd to those who have never had a similar experience, but I heard a voice within say, "No! I want you to go to Mass, and Confession, and Communion, and do all the things that good Catholics do, because I have work for you to do in My Church."

I obeyed, and have never been sorry even once. God bless you.
