I know a little bit about his background, and this is a real life-changer for him.

Love has a way of doing that. The blood dripping from the wounds of our Lord makes flowers grow. Therefore "in the place where he was crucified there was a garden."

Dear Mad Dawg,

“Love has a way of doing that.”

Yes, but often, it isn't God's love experienced directly that first moves us, because, as you have pointed out elsewhere, we would be unable to withstand the onslaught on our souls.

In this case, as in many, my friend fell in love with a young lady who is a Catholic, and through her sincere but wildly imperfect and attenuated love, he has found himself on a path drawing him ultimately to the heart of God.
