Got called to the bed side of a young man who tried to commit suicide and might have succeeded.. He was raised in a couple of different Protestant faiths.. but he felt led by the Holy Spirit to go to mass last week.. story of fig tree.. Jesus says ‘don’t cut it down see if bears fruit one year from now.’
I said what made you go into the Church that days.. I was ‘Curious ‘
I gave him sacrament of anointing.. and I said ‘I think Holy Spirit is bringing you to the Catholic Faith’
He knew the word ‘Transubstantiation’ but didn’t know how many sacraments there were. He has a struggle.. but Jesus says ‘Seek first Kingdom’ I said ‘you need solid food. Mary Jesus Joseph Eucharist Rosary.
I gave him a prayer folder and said here will be some future friends for you Padre Pio, Mother Theresa, St Joseph, St Michael… ‘
Than he said ‘don’t forget St Gabriel’
I said If you can says ‘I profess and believe all that the Catholic Church teaches snd believes and changes his lifestyle’ I will be honored to bring you into the Church.
What struck me when I asked him why he went to a Catholic Mass last Sunday was because ‘he was curious’
