How I got here

(The following was my contribution to an essay in the St. Ignatius Loyola newsletter.)

I’ve been a spiritual seeker all my life. Raised atheist by ex-Mormons, I journeyed through Quakerism and Buddhism, and Centering Prayer acquainted me with Catholic monasticism, which I explored but abandoned. Last year, grace led me into a new close friendship with someone who embodies loving Catholicism. Our rich conversations about spiritual matters and my discovery of St. Augustine’s writings helped me see the Church and a life of faith in an entirely new way. She guided me to St. Ignatius and as I sat near the back that first Sunday, though I had yet to understand the mysteries of the Trinity and Eucharist, the relevance of objects all around me—our amazing RCIA program would later fill those in—the moment the plainchant began, I knew I was no longer a seeker. St. Augustine describes his conversion as returning home, and that’s what it feels like for me. Also like him, I feel called. I’m long past my “formative years” and didn’t convert for a spouse or child, yet I have found myself drawn to this sea change, this awakening, like it was inevitable. As the beautiful Jeremiah passage says, ‘You have seduced me, O God, and I have let myself be seduced.’

How are you. Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. the ones who see things differently - they’re not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
