In a remarkable account, a man joining the Capuchin order of priests is quite open about his past, which had involved anger, drugs, alcohol, women, and gang membership. Then he began straightening out his life.
He spoke of the day during a retreat that changed his life. “During prayer, a woman next to Vera collapsed. She was taken outside when she started screaming. Vera experienced a moment of darkness followed by images of things he had done in his life. ‘Every single image made me feel guilty,’ he said. ‘I wanted them to go away. I couldn’t open my eyes.’” Traumatized, afterwards he spent much time in prayer, and he says, then he started getting closer and closer to God.
