God has blessed me with this job and an amazing fiancée which I think is really God’s blessing and grace. -Marcus Silus Sam, Bangalore

I was born in a Christian family. My dad was Anglican and my mum Catholic. Both were equally  staunch in their beliefs. My mother was insistent in having us baptised and was very diligent in  raising us in the faith, ensuring we go for daily mass and sending us for retreats during summer  vacations. Though it planted a seed of knowing God in a deep way, when I came to college many  things changed. I lost my closeness to Jesus and the earlier sincerity in the small and simple things of  life seemed unimportant. I began questioning the practice of traditional prayers. I stopped going to  church. During my second year I fell in love with a girl. It seemed most appropriate since it seemed  that everyone else had a girlfriend. Over time I was quite sure she would be the one I would marry. I  changed the course of my career, opting for a post-graduation that I may remain with her. A year  later, my world crashed when I discovered that she had become friendly with another classmate. I  was shattered and unable to see a future. My grief turned into anger. I was determined to prove to  this girl that I could outshine her during the rest of the course. I was filled with unforgiveness and  hatred. I was so disturbed I realised I must go for the retreat and try to find some peace. During the  retreat I developed high fever. During the Eucharistic adoration where special prayers were offered  for the healing of inner wounds, the priest who leading the service Fr Augustine Vallooran mentioned  my name and gave a message to forgive and see how God works. It was hard. I nevertheless prayed  for the unforgiveness and hate to be removed. As soon as I did this, I could feel a cool sensation over  my body. I realised I had received the grace to completely forgive the girl and the boy whom she was  in love with.   There began my journey with the Lord and ever since He has been beside me through some very ...
