Ave Maria!
Roy Schoeman gives an account of his conversion story, which is the first of two talks at the Marian Day on May 4th, 2019, at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center in Bloomington, IN.
00:00 - Intro
02:00 - Jewish and Catholic Two Phases
Jewish and Catholic are not two religions but two phases of the same faith. As a Catholic, I am a fulfilled Jew. Jews fit into the salvation plan even today. I am a Son of Holocaust survivors.
09:00 - Loss of Faith
At MIT I lost my faith and embraced Pseudo-Science. The answer to this is Modern Miracles, Shroud, Tilma, Fatima, and Eucharistic miracles
11:00 - Miracles at Lourdes,
An atheist who tried to disprove, I don't care how much evidence, I won't believe
13:00 - Harvard business professor at 29 years old
14:00 - Tried to find fulfillment
At: bar mitzvah, drivers license, girlfriend, job, tenure, but none. Great despair
16:00 - Cape Cod dunes, the vision of God,
I was shown regrets if I died that day, not acknowledging love in life, That disasters in life are valuable, missed opportunities
17:00 - Love and serve God.
God is the creator of existence from nonexistence, and that God would have created everything for me alone was most transformative.
19:00 - I could see the physical and spiritual world at the same time.
All instantaneous. I was surprised that he could not see the spiritual before, which was more real than the physical.
20:00 - But Moral transformation took some time. Very Selfish. Did not see a problem with this but did not realize that I was being stupid. I should at least be selfish and smart.
22:00 - New vision of God but not sure where this God fit into the idea I had of him from the Old Testament. Wanted to know whose God he is and what religion to follow. Willing to follow God into any religion, but not Christianity. This came from the anti-christian Jewish perspective.
24:00 - Knew God existed, god is all loving, day of death is the happiest day of our life.
25:00 - Walking on cloud nine.
Wanted to spread the news and build up an account in heaven. Smart selfishness.
26:00 - Found out about Fatima
Went to find a mystic in Cambridge, MA, and found one newager, kabbalist, but saw a book there on Fatima. Was indignant that no one told him about it after so many years of education and asking why there are no miracles today. This planted a seed.
30:00 - What is Your Name?
Often asked in prayer for the name of God whom he met in the dunes. Woken at night and was brought to a room with a beautiful woman. I knew it was the Virgin Mary, with a voice of beautiful music. I asked many questions, what prayers she liked, and I wanted to honor her.
34:00 - How can she be so glorious?
She said, I am but a thing, but daughter of Father, mother of Son, spouse of Holy Spirit. Knew it was Mary and Christ was the one who appeared on Cape Cod.
37:00 - Woke up and looked for a church.
Wanted to see her again but did not and this was difficult, fortunately this realization came slowly.
39:00 - Protestant then La Salette
Protestant first. but did not honor Mary so left. Went to Marian shrines La Salette in Attleboro, Ma.
40:00 - Questions - how did the family react?
The first three years were easy because I did not tell them. They did notice how much kinder I was to them, but they went ballistic when they found out. 30 years, 2014 assisted living, 102 years old, Jesus appeared to him. Baptized on Good Friday and died on Easter Tuesday. Mom all the more mad. But again on death bed, I gave my testimony, and she thanked me restored her faith in Judaism, helped her believe in Catholic faith, rosary, scapular, last rights, funeral mass, catholic procession to Jewish cemetery,
49:00 - How I came to avoid the anti-Catholic attitude.
La Salette in MA was good but knew of a real La Salette in France, which I visited. They let him stay there even though he was Jewish. After complaining to God about missing skiing by going to La Salette, had a dream, God appeared, "You can ski, or you can work for the kingdom of God"
53:00 - Introduced to the Carthusians
I needed to talk to get explanations of the mystical experience. Never pressured me to be Catholic, but rather keep eyes open and be honest with myself. Chanting divine office from Old Testament. Joyful despite severe lifestyle, strong devotion to Virgin Mary.
