CONVERSIONS - GOD IS AT THE HEART OF EVERY CONVERSION

[Notes taken from Fr Donald Haggerty's message]

“Conversions are never entirely sudden, coming from nowhere, even when they seem to ignite an explosively new force within a life.

The hidden chiselling of the hand of God has usually been at work for an unknown time; concealed touches have been laid upon the heart; the trailing of the soul has taken place into its shadowed hours, sometimes for long periods of time.  

God meets a soul at a crossroad of life and in some unexpected way makes his real presence known.  A peronal encounter with the real mystery of a personal God is at the heart of every conversion.”

Fr Donald Haggerty, Priest of the Archdiocese of New York.
