My dramatic conversion

[mamamary]

what a beautiful experience, tina....i have always felt in my heart that God's mercy eventually shines thru to all, regardless of their mental state, at death. his mercy is abundant.

[Philomena]

Tina...I am praying with you as I have been led to do the same. Imagine my surprise to see that you have been inspired to pray the exact same prayer! Thank you to all of you for your wonderful posts.

hi philomena!

yes.. i betcha lots of people have been led to pray for these souls.. seems like God is sweeping clean the whole planet.. calling for all who will says *yes* to Him these days.. it is so wonderful be be a part of so many others praying for those who do not yet know Him...

i can hardly wait for Divine Mercy Sunday.. my husband and i are driving 200 miles to billings Montana where they have a big celebration this year.. our little town does not celebrate it really.. but is is fun to travel and go to a different church and city....

Read the article Phille. That's pretty scary - that they can take your organs by redefining death - before you're done using those organs.

hello, everybody

Something amazing happened to me about five minutes ago, let me start from the beginning.

I am currently a high school student, my parents baptized me, I went through first communion etc., but my parents really arent practicing catholics and the only time we go to church is on easter and christmas. I've always believed in God, and have tried to do the right things, although sometimes getting swayed in the wrong direction or just not knowing enough and doing the wrong thing... but recently, about a weak ago I was just sitting around and was randomly inspired to go online and find out about mary's apparitions, when I was young I remember my religion teacher speaking of mary appearing to young children. So I went online, and after doing a few searches found medugorje and remembered this was what she was talking about. So, the last few days I've been reading / watching a lot about medugorje, especially on this forum, I was even inspired to start reading the bible.

But, now let me get to the point of my story. So, this is probably the 5th or 6th time i've been on this forum, and I started reading this post. In it, I read Tina's story and saw her footer that talked about the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. This sounded like something I should definately do, reading how Jesus put so much importance on it, and that every single person should say it.

So I looked up online how to say the prayer (had some trouble, because how it was explained, you needed knowledge of how to say the rosary, which I also didn't fully know ), but I eventually figured it out. So I found an old plastic rosary I had in my room and started saying the prayer.

Then it happened, I had this amazing sensation of warmth, heat, and radiance as I was saying the prayer. This was in no way normal, I could truly feel Jesus in the room! My hands even started sweating, the first ten times I said "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world." I just felt that radiating heat, and then it wore of. This happened at about 7:25, 11/28/2008, just 25 minutes ago. Immediately after I registered at this forum and started writing this.

This was truly an amazing experience, I won't forget it. Although I've never questioned God or anything like that, now I've actually felt his presence, I've always tried to pray before going to bed and say a Hail Mary and Our Father, but the power of this prayer is amazing! Five minutes after reading about Tina's story, and how the people in the hospital room felt that radiating heat when Jesus was in the room, I felt the exact same feeling, wow

[Hopper]

Wow Todd, wonderful. You certainly did feel the power of the Holy Spirit.

Keep at it...

Can you reveal it?

God Bless

What an awesome story, thank you so much! When I found out that I am pregnant this time at 6 and the other 2 times when I would remember. I will make more of an effort now to say it all three times. I have to admit that I always feel a slight jealousy when others have these wonderful experiences, as I am not a mystic. But, thanks be to God that we can read about them and be inspired! I also pray the Chaplet almost every day at 3pm after reading St. Faustina's diary. 2 of my daughters were born at 3:03 pm, so close to the hour of mercy.

[Philomena]

Welcome to the forum Meghan...don't be jealous at all because with the Grace comes the responsibility. Imagine my judgement day. Even I am frightened by it because I am so ordinary.
Blessed are those who believe and have not seen.

How awesome to see Our Lord and Savior! He definitely has plans for you! I would love to learn more of your experiences, can you PM me? In this time we are living in, I believe all people of faith should and must bear one another up; there are so many starving for the Truth. May you always be an inspiration to others; God bless you and all within your life's circle (and that goes for everyone on this Forum).
