Sinners Are Converted

That Was the Moment of My Conversion

My life was so much entangled in sin and the like and I fell deeper and
deeper. Often I would seek a confessor and I used also to go on pilgrim-
ages. But I could not find a priest in whom I would have been able to
confide, and often I lacked the courage to do so. I did not know what to
do with priests of modern theology, who only excuse sin. They were
repulsive to me, although I actually did not know why.
As the Most Reverend Sword-Bishop extended his hand to me at our
first meeting, it burnt like fire in my hand. His words inflamed my heart.
That was the moment of my conversion. Never before had I heard
words which were such a sign of GOD’s love as the Sword-Bishop’s.
My life was beginning to straighten itself out and was gradually bright-
ening up and is now a full and active one in deep gratitude and long-
ing: „All for the love of GOD! All to the glory of GOD!“ Dozens of very
happy events … I could tell of the blessings of GOD, which I was al-
lowed to receive through the Most Reverend Sword-Bishop.

Mt 7,15-17: „Beware of false prophets, who come to you
in sheep’s clothing; but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered
from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so every good tree
brings forth good fruit, but a bad tree bears evil fruit.“
