Deepertruth: The John Carpenter Conversion Story

John Carpenter is a convert to the Catholic Faith.  In his study and research, he has developed one of the worlds greatestest documentation on Marian Apparitions found any where.  Join John each week as he brings alive the message of Our Lady.

We are all called to follow the Lord in all that we are and I think this is why conversion stories are so important to many of us.  They offer hope in times of despair.  Because we are living in an evil age, St. Paul writes,  ”And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper.” Romans 1:28

Even so, St. John is clear, “But to those who did accept him he gave the power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name.”  John 1:12

Jesus gives us this message of hope, “What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it.”  Luke 15:4

Joel 2:12-13 really says it all, “Yet even now, say the Lord, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning: Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the Lord, your God.  For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment.”
