Before I came into the Church and, thus, before I knew that Psychics are agents of Satan,
my Mother talked up a certain Psychic in a nearby community.
So, I visited her and got a certain fortune, which I remembered.
Later on, much to my shame, I invited a friend of mine to go with me to this same Psychic.
Thanks be to God, she gave a fortune to me that was a complete 180 of what the first
one was and, so, I realized there was no Truth in it.
Another story. During this same time period, I had a Jewish friend who had a Ouija Board and invited me to his house to use it.
When we first began dialoguing with a “spirit” on the Ouija board, it claimed it was in another world than what we were in. So, I asked it to tell me who was with it in this “other world”?
Guess what it “spelled out”? J-E-S-U-S!
Even my Jewish friend was flabbergasted. Thanks be to God, I said to this friend of mine
that, “I’m not supposed to speak to Him in this way!” and I immediately ran out of his house and never dabbled in the occult again.
In both cases above, I believe Jesus personally intervened for me in those situations to show me that anything not of Him and against His commandments is a lie.
Also, it was a Jewess girl in High School who instigated my entry into the Catholic Church. Everyone knew in these High School classes that I was the only non-Jew; how they knew that I was Baptized Catholic I don’t know.
But, she asked me in class, out loud, in front of every other Jew in the class, including the Teacher, to recite for her “The Hail Mary” out of an honest desire to hear and know it from me, not from derision or anything like that.
I responded in shame, but with a sincere heart, by saying, “I don’t know the Hail Mary. I REALLY NEED to become a part of my Church.”
I pray for that Jewess and the Jews in my School to this day.
