Lux in Tenebris

I always associate conversion stories with dramatic events like Saint Paul’s being knocked off his horse or piously dreamy movies perhaps starring Loretta Young. But my conversion story seems to be sui generis. Or so I would like to think. I could attempt to write my own apologia pro vita mea, but one has to be somewhat famous for a number of people to be interested in reading such a document. My road to the Catholic Church was neither straight nor clear. There were a number of conversion moments that looking back only make sense in the light of who I am today. So my conversion story is my life, a life that I believe has been guided by a loving God Who appreciates irony and Who has a divine sense of humor.
