Divine Revelation
My late father was a convert to Catholicism and, like most converts, was enthusiastic in his faith. He told me a story from his younger days, relating to the process by which one entered into the Catholic Church.
His story went along the lines of this one fellow, seeking to convert, had classes with the local parish priest. He studied the Catholic Catechism, and attended Mass, and generally began to assume the trappings of the devout.
One day, in class with the priest, he shared one item that confused him. “Father, I do not get this entire Divine Revelation thing. It makes no sense to me.”
The priest verified that his pupil was reading the assigned parts of the catechism, and was, indeed, performing the exercises assigned for home study and reflection.
He deliberated upon this faith issue for the new convert, and decided that a clinical exercise was called for.
“My son, next Sunday, after Mass, at exactly noon, go and stand in the very center of the church garden. Spread wide your arms, cast your gaze to Heaven, and await the Divine Revelation that will assuredly come to you! Let us speak of it, in the class that follows.”
