Dear Digital_Blue, I wish you all the best on your conversion! Reading through the letters of Blessed John Henry Newman, he had much experience with conversions, and what you described with your friends is exactly what so many before you have undergone when joining the One true Fold of the Redeemer.
Currently, I’m reading the “Memorials of Mr. Serjeant Bellasis, 1800-1873” and the gravity of his long considerations, how it would affect not just himself, but his family and friends, show the great love he had for God, seeing how much his conversion might cost him in this world. The story you shared reminded me of him.
I send many prayers to my saints for you!
take care,
amsjj

Jesus, God and man,
imprisoned by love in Thy most holy Sacrament,
have mercy upon us.
– Blessed John Henry Newman, December 22, 1851
Tú y yo sabemos por la fe que oculto en las especies sacramentales está Cristo,
ese Cristo con su Cuerpo, con su Sangre, con su Alma, y con su Divinidad,
prisonero de amor.
– San Josemaria Escriva, 1 junio 1974
