During that Mass, I truly felt the presence of Christ in the Church. Unlike anywhere else I had been. Seeing the Eucharist for the first time, the tradition, the veneration, everything about it felt right.

From my childhood, I was Southern Baptist, where I was very involved starting in my teenage years. I was involved in youth group activities, bible studies, and even played guitar in the youth group band. I was never really anti-Catholic, but I knew why we were Protestant.
