Crossed The Tiber

An Evangelical Converts to Catholicism

About Me

Name:
Location: Pennsylvania, United States

I was born into the Catholic faith. At 14, I was "born again" and found Jesus personally but lost His Church. After thirty years as an evangelical protestant, I have come full circle to find that He has been there all the time, in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I wish others to find the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith as I have found.

Seven Disguises In Which God Frequently Sends His Graces


In the disguise of ingratitude from friends.
In the disguise of being misunderstood.
In the disguise of failure.
In the disguise of being dishonored.
In the disguise of sickness.
In the disguise of poverty.
In the disguise of our daily work.

Our Lord isn’t anxious for us to suffer so let’s not complain to Him any more than is necessary! He sees us in our misery and looks forward to our final victory. If we could only appreciate the great work He’s doing in preparing these crosses for us. - St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Thanks to Father Gonzales for this.

Our dear and blessed St. Therese! She has so inspired me to seek humility...and that can only come through these disguises. It hurts, but the pain is worth the gain!

Thanks for posting our beloved Doctor of the Church who gave us her "Little Way" to grow in holiness and reach our goal, Christ & Heaven.
