Crazy Catholic Convert

Ep:21- An Unexpected Journey

Crazy Catholic Convert

In this episode I interview Catholic convert, Casey. Before converting to Catholicism Casey was a missionary in Cambodia. She recalls the struggle she faced when the beliefs she clung to so deeply were undermined.  Casey then discusses other unexpected challenges and how she found healing in Theology of the Body and empathy from St Joseph.

Deliver me Jesus:
-From the desire for more"me time"
-from the belief that I have it harder than others
-from the fear of being woken up in the night
-from the desire to cook dinner with both hands
-from the desire for just 5 minutes of silence
-from the desire to "get my body back"
-from the desire to be recognized for doing a good job
-from the temptation to base my success on the behavior or happiness of my children
-from the desire to be in control

Jesus, give me the grace to desire it:
-that I may be more patient during the next tantrum
-that I may have a servant's heart as I clean up spilled milk for the 100th time
-that I may respond lovingly when I am interrupted
-that I may not groan as I roll out of bed at 3am
-that my little sufferings will be united to yours for the redemption of souls in my family and all over the world
-that my family will become holier than me as long as I become as holy as I should.

God loves you and created you. You're precious, unique and unrepeatable. He wants to be in a relationship with you forever and he's got a plan for your life. The bad news is that due to sin we were separated from God and our human nature was weakened. That means our intellect was darkened. Our wills became weak and sin became attractive. The consequence of sin became eternal death in hell. But the good news is that God's, Jesus became man. Atoned for our sins by dying on the cross, and rose from the dead for our salvation. We receive the Holy Spirit and this gift of salvation when we put our faith in Jesus, repent of our sins, get baptized and become his disciples. Finally Jesus established the Catholic church to teach with his authority, to empower us with his grace, and to bring us back to life if we commit a deadly sin.
