What internal or external changes have you experienced-(eg:become more patient) etc…
 
I’ve always been Catholic but since becoming more serious about my faith I’m much more able to pluck up the courage to check if someone who is non responsive is OK.
 
I’ve been a Christian my whole life, but my relationship with God goes through cycles where I’m more or less devoted.

During my more devoted times, I’m a more compassionate and patient person.
 
I’m a cradle Catholic, but definitely strayed from my faith for a large period of time of which I look back in regret. When I was in my atheist phase I found that I was so much more selfish than I should be and now that I’m back I definitely find myself to be a much different person than I was before (for the better).
 
To the degree that a lifetime of faith is made up of a bunch of mini-conversions, the biggest change for me has been the peace and freedom of really trusting that God is in control.
 
I was Protestant for many years, and converted to the Catholic Faith two years ago. I now have an inner peace like I’ve never had before. I knew something was missing in my relationship with God in my Protestant years. I’m now much happier, very patient, and my love for God is in my thoughts all day everyday. My wife and father in law both have commented on the changes they see. I really enjoy being active in my parish, and helping others as I can. The Catholic Faith has turned my life upside down in a good way.
 
I turn my thoughts more and more to God and His Heavenly Kingdom, more and more often.

If I’m not thinking of our Lord, I’ll be thinking of His Mother or the Angels or the Saints.

I think that I have become a more compassionate and caring person. I worry about others more, and care more about their lives and their personal well-being.
