It all started several years ago when in my hands I get a little book of Divine Mercy, extracts from the diary of St. Faustina... there it began my slow conversion process. I come from a Catholic family, like any other Catholic who has received the sacraments of baptism, communion, confirmation, but still, in me... there wasn't a true love for God and the most Holy Trinity. One day, while I was in my office I started a search on Christina Gallagher, and to my surprise I found the wonderful messages of the Holy Trinity and the Mother of Salvation through Maria of Divine Mercy.
When I discovered this messages which were given almost daily, I began to read them and for me they were like candy to my soul! I started to print the prayers and read the messages. Shortly after you begin with prayers, came to my hand more prayers of healing, of consecration and my pending task: the Holy Rosary.
Started to recite the consecration to the Blessed Mother, this especially lasted 33 days of preparation and the day 34 was the consecration. For me it was something unique because I started to feel true devotion for our Mother.
Through the messages of MDM, our Mother, to me it was like an order being given and I obeyed. I began with 3 consecutive mysteries. Then I join a group of prayer and this has continue to be my life in prayer.
I felt each day more attracted to my religion, spiritual things, I began to worship. An hour and more, dedicated to our Lord in contemplation.
Jesus removed me the veil from my eyes and I see for the first time, so clearly, that at first it scared me. I see with absolute clarity the strategies of the enemy, the evil one. Also started educating my small daughter about God. The mass, communion, prayers and others. My 10-year-old girl is my perfect companion of prayer and even if I don't get it every day, there are many times we pray together.
I try to go to mass every day. I have consecrated s the Virgin Maria on two occasions, I am a change person. Love for the people, patience, pray for the brothers, caring more about others, pray, pray and pray... Also the Holy Spirit has sensitized me in order to recognize what does not come from God. He guides me, always fulfilling the will of God and not my own. It's not easy, I am a sinner, but the big difference now is, that when I fall I get up and leave running, fleeing from anything that may offends our Father.
I feel God's presence most strongly in my heart, than ever before. But I've also received rejection, in my own family. A friend tells me that I should follow Bergoglio but if I say that he is doing something strange and offensive, then they tell me that I could be infested with demons.
Jesus allows me to be serene every day, pray constantly and live a life according to God's commandments, trying to please Him all the time. A hug in in Jesus and Mary!
