My wife and I converted to the Catholic Church as grandparents 10 years ago. It was obvious that I do not have enough years to read everything written about this faith, particularly the Church Fathers. So I have made scriptural Rosary the core of my holy hour. I also have been collecting as many of the prayers of the Early Church Fathers because the prayers are the essence of their beliefs … beliefs that are not defiled by the muck in which we now find ourselves. We came into the Church, not despite its dogma on the family, but to a large extent because of the dogma of the Church. I have come to understand this faith and to love it because it has brought me closer to God. My biggest regret in life is that I had wandered in my private DIY spiritual desert for over 40 years. But now I take great joy in knowing that “a thousand years are like a day or watch in the night” in that greater reality which is now the most important thing in my life … and my wife’s life as well.
