This is a really amazing story! One Reddit (social news medium) user recently shared his story about inviting a satanist to Mass. As a result, the satanist converted to Catholicism. What a miracle! The user explained that he evangelized to the satanist after meeting him in class. The satanist then asked him about the Catechism, so the Reddit user began reading it to him. The satanist then became “quite serious about it” and asked “deep questions” about “the truth of Mother Church.”
"What's Catholicism like?"
The Reddit user also revealed that the satanist’s wife is pregnant and he now plans to bring them to adoration and Mass on Sundays and Wednesdays. Here’s the full text of the story:
“This is a story I’d like to tell since I’ve noticed a distinct lack of positive evangelization among certain sections of the Church, and I want to get a conversation started about reaching out to the marginalized segments of society. I have an acquaintance whom I’ve spent a lot of time evangelizing over the past year. He is an outspoken satanist, and we were introduced last year during one of our classes.
“The first thing he asked was, ‘What’s Catholicism like?’ And I told him, starting with basics and then reading to him out of the Catechism. He was quite serious about it, asking deep questions, and trying to understand the doctrines and Truth of Mother Church.
Girlfriend is Pregnant
“Well, recently he got his girlfriend pregnant and was about to drop out of school, and I told him, ‘You’re always welcome to come to Mass. I’ll pay for your gas if you can’t make it otherwise.’ He accepted my proposal, and as a result, this last Sunday, he came to Mass.
“After Mass was over, he told me, ‘I wasn’t quite sure what was going on. I just did what you told me to,’ and I told him this was fine as he was just starting out. To my amazement, he tells me that he’s going to start coming to Mass every Sunday and Wednesday for adoration, and that he’s going to bring his wife and unborn child along as well.
“God willing, he will start RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) soon, and he could be baptized and confirmed as soon as next Easter Vigil. This event has had a serious impact on me and has put me on fire, so to speak. What are your thoughts, and have you had a similarly moving event in your mission on earth as a disciple of Christ?”
Pray for the conversion of Satanists!
