One day, a neighbor invited me to an “Alpha” course, which I attended with my husband.
During this retreat, I was touched by all the testimonies of healing and conversion I heard and a sentence resonated in my mind: “Jesus is at the threshold of your heart; it is up to you to invite Him in…” I invited Jesus to be the Master of my life… From that moment on, all my fears disappeared, a great joy inhabited me, and I was filled with hope. I feel more positive.
At the end of this journey, a friend introduced a sentence that touched me greatly: “Because Love loves you, you become Love.” At the time, I didn’t know where it came from. I continued my journey of faith with my husband and children and, one day, someone gave me a new book entitled “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus”. I started reading this book and was overwhelmed by its content. I had all the answers to questions about love that I had been asking the Lord – clear and precise answers from Jesus. I realized that the Lord is truly present by my side. He hears everything, He knows everything about every one of us, our joys and sorrows, even our most secret thoughts. He responds to each of our requests.
This book is a treasure that I cherish and read again and again. I am overwhelmed by Jesus’ words of love, tenderness, and mercy. I always start my day in prayer and with the “Thought of the Day” that I receive on my computer. It nourishes me and it helps me to live and make decisions. I am struck by the fact that the events I observe frequently correspond to the “Thought of the Day.” The Lord teaches me and corrects me as a father who loves His children.
The Lord has restored my interest in reading. My son recently asked me what my favorite book was. Well, after the Bible, it is “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus.”
I have become a new apostle of Christ. I preside sessions inside the Alpha course and I teach catechesis to college students. My heart burns with love for Jesus and I have developed a great desire for evangelization. To my students, I emphasize that our mission on Earth is, above all, to become creatures of love, to develop love, and to love one another.
