Ex Muslim woman from Iran here. Jesus Christ also in His mercy and love came to me and lifted me from a pit changed my life forever. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey.
There are a lot of RUclips videos recommended for me to watch about Catholicism. I am 23 years old and I wish someday to meet others who are Catholic. I love tradition, I love catholic, I love things that are like this. I want to marry someone who enjoys being a Catholic as well.
@@brotherdj777 - Ask Jesus what He thinks about His Mother. I'm a schoolteacher, and the most common cause of physical fights is a foolish child insulting another child's mother. The child whose mother is insulted flies to her defense. Maybe y'all don't care about your mothers where you come from.
@@brotherdj777 We don't worship The Blessed Virgin. She is a creature, imbued with God's Grace from her conception. We venerate her because of her acceptance of the role of the mother of Christ, our Lord and our God. We ask her to pray for us because we know that her son will not refuse her. In ancient Israel, the queen was the king's mother, not his wife. Think about that.
DJ. May the God if te Universle have Mercy on your soul... Do you not realze how presumtuous of you to say whatway God should have brought salvation to us.... thrugh Godxcometo earth as man but more, he did not float down from Heaven, but came as a baby. dependant upon creatures, through the cooperation and ascent of a creature(Mary) whose ancestor(Eve) had chosen not to cooperate with God or obey him; how Great are His ways; far beyond our understanding
I was raised as a Protestant. At 18 I became an atheist. At the age of 27 I am now pursuing Roman Catholicism. God never gave up on me, and neither did my family.

Manna Tech every mass Catholics recite the creed which begins WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD. in 1994 the United Nations and bill Clinton Had a world summit to try and make Abortion a Universal Right. One man stopped them. Pope John Paul ll. Where was your church ? No where.
Yes that is correct. Although Judaism of Jesus time was corrupt and wicked. That is why they did not except Jesus as their messiah. And so too the Catholic church is also corrupt and wicked, and they too do not except Jesus as the messiah. You see when you add or take away from the word of God you have destroyed it, corrupted it, perverted it. They have both added man made traditions to the word of God. That destroys God's word. That is why the Bible says do not add or take away from the word of God.
Two weeks after this video was released , I attended my first Mass as a true believer, 50 years after my baptism. I long to share the Mass again and feel the tears of joy when the priest holds the Holy Sacrament.
This is one of the most inspiring and one of the clearest and most beautiful testimonies I’ve ever heard in my 60 years on earth and 35 years as a priest!

Roy Schoeman's testimony in this video was a big part of me wanting to become Catholic and motivated me to pray Our Lady's rosary every day. I love his story.
I'm so happy for you. I, too, love his story. One reason is how our Mother told him not to worship Her, she is a creature, They are everything. We know that, but the Protestants don't seem to want to understand that.
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Orthodox Christian here! Love the rosary! Our blessed mother is Thotokos- the bridge between God and Man! No Mary no Jesus the only begotten son of God!
Ramona Ray ....Hi like the words Theotokos ☺ .. I want to know about Orthodox Christian on Mother Mary. I really like your icons esp Jesus and Mary . But Why Protestant always find honouring Mother Mary as too Catholicism because I find Orthodox also has deep connection with Mother Mary too..😍
Fantastic testimony, my brother. I was born and raised Protestant (Evangelical). In search for truth I galloped from Evangelical to SDA to Jehovah's Witnesses and finally landed in the Catholic Church, the only Church Jesus called MY CHURCH. That was 40 years ago and I have never looked back, always praising God for letting me see His Light that eventually led me to His Church! Welcome to the flock.
I am named after her, she heard the prayer off my mom wen I was very ill as a baby, and thats why I still alive. Thanks to Mary my heavenly mother in heaven
I was born Catholic and was not so much practicing and was almost atheist, then 2019 something dramatic happened and made me realise that Catholicism is the correct way of Christianity....I never looked back ever after.
What happened. I saw Her in my living room in Bangkok 10 am in the morning instantly lifting me out of abject depression and my immediate problems instantly disappearing
I am a Catholic as well, but one thing I do not like about the Catholic church is that they do not inject the evils going on in the world today in their homilies. It is vital that they discuss the world we live in and the sin that is spreading through it like a cancer. Like Joseph of Aramathia (sp) told the Sanhedrin - can we honestly say we represent the people. The church should be talking about Ukraine, abortion and all the evils going on in the world and not hide behind their tax exempt status!
What an inspiring story I wish a lot of Catholics had the same faith this man has , my faith has to be constantly renewed by watching stories like this .

@Collins Anosike I ask unnecessary questions??? Wow. That is your response to my question??? Believing something doesn't make it true. That has nothing to do with what is true. If you want to believe such made up rubbish, then go ahead. But I won't. If you want to accept such unscriptual traditions and beliefs, then go ahead. But I won't. You really should pray and ask GOD to help you see the truth, because people like you will be lost because they "didn't ask unnecessary questions" and leave false religions like Catholicism...Sad...
I was teary when Roy mentioned what the Blessed Mother told him her favorite title: the Daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Son, and the Spouse of the Holy Spirit"--because while I was praying to her I asked the same question, and 'she' told me the same answer several months before I encountered Shoeman in youtube.
@Marie W 777 I didn't say she's married to the Holy Spirit, I said she's the spouse of the Holy Spirit. Spouse in Theology is wider in meaning than being a 'wife'; Spouse in Theology is mystical, spiritual. You might understand this better when you read the Song of Songs of Solomon wherein it speaks of the Groom (God) and the soul as spouse. Moreover, the Catholic Church teaches that Mary conceived Jesus 'by' the power of the Holy Spirit, so in that sense she is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit because only spouses may beget or conceive someone. Now, please don't think that Jesus is brought about sexually because God can fertilize a human egg cell in His own way (not the way humans and animals procreate) just as He is capable of creating us out of nothing.
@Marie W 777 Not all truths that God wants us to know are written in the Scriptures. Look for John's Gospel where he mentioned it. The New Testament in particular was about Jesus's teachings, His redemption of humanity through His death on the Cross. Hence, other truths about Jesus i.e., his relation to His mother, Jesus leaves to His church in the development of His teachings ( Theology, Dogmas of the Church). Catholic Doctrine is a matter of faith; and it does not make sense to unbelievers like you--just as Jesus during His time was crucified because of HIs 'nonsense' teachings; many didn't believe Him. For Catholics, the dogmas about Mary and the Church of Christ are held for beliefs (that's why they're dogmas) . Dogmas are not blasphemies but precisely they're declared to be true by the Authority of the Church to counteract heresies and blasphemies. So anyone who calls the dogmas about the Bless Mother blasphemous--he blasphemes. If you don't accept the dogmas about Mary, then it's your choice, it's between you and God. You may ask Him the same questions when you meet Him as our Judge. And wait for His answer while going elsewhere...Bless you.
The fact that Mother Mary's favorite prayer is the prayer she showed to St. Catherine Labouré at the Rue de Bac Chapel to make the miraculous medal!! This gives me goosebumps!!

@@josephwells8699 It is based on the Bible. Christ taught the Apostles who passed on the correct understanding of the intentions of Christ, there is but one ark of salvation, the Catholic Church. The apostles were Jewish converts.
@ljit ljam only faith can give you the ray of light and hope, Jesus Christ our Lord gives life and nourishment. Have faith, seek Christ and practice traditional Catholicism and you will feel what Christ and true Christian-Catholicism is. I had some kind of depression but It vanished as it was nothing when I started to practice just this September, I feel different from before and it is the grace of God. I'm nearly 17 and depression is common among teenagers, a friend of mine is depressed but there are two things that males different from me and her. First she has been raised Adventist, then she is Atheist so not practicing. I try to help her but the only solution is faith in traditional Catholicism (not mainstream Vatican II set but Tridentine Rite), my slow conversion is thanks the grace of the Holy Spirit and the Tridentine Rite. I hope you can find peace in yourself but I can assure that true and absolute happiness is only in devotion to Christ but also to His Mother, our Lady. Is easier to heal throught faith rather than with a psychologist.
@ljit ljam Please do not kill yourself. Murder is sin, an offense to GOD. He created YOU with a purpose for YOU. You need to repent of yours sins and follow Christ. Obey his laws. Give your life solely to him. GOD loves YOU and your life is very variable to him. We were created to worship him forever. But sin has caused a divide between us and GOD. But Christ is the savior, that closes that division. He came to put us back on the right path and relationship with GOD. You can have joy, peace and love in your heart and soul, but most of all, the forgiveness of your sins, the breaking of the laws of GOD, all of that can be forgiven. Every lie, theft, fornication, pornography, etc, can all be forgiven. YOU don't have to live in fear or anxiety. GOD loves you. Christ died for YOU. He rose again for YOU. Pray and ask GOD to help you. Get you a bible and read Acts 2:38 and obey it. Ask GOD to fill you with the holy ghost and give you power to live free from sin and live this life. We will suffer in the life, but GOD gives us the power to make it. YOU CAN MAKE IT. GOD is bigger than drugs, abuse, loneliness, depression, fear, sadness, pain, addictions, etc!!!!! Christ is our only true lasting hope. Please don't take your life. Please know that YOU are so dearly LOVED❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Orthodox is the one and true church, it was indivisible all this time, while Catholics exploded in conflicts and split into protestants and now there are 25 thousand churches stemming from that. Orthodox church was one and true all this time!
This is so amazing. we as Catholics, should embrace our church, The Rosary, sacrament, sacramental. The Eucharist, the most precious to come in to our body and soul. Go to daily Mass also not just on Sunday. Holy Hour. God bless
Go to Mass and communion and do the stations of the Cross. Marian devotion is a very lovely option but is not required from a Catholic to achieve full salvation.

When I was a child, I was given unknowingly the gift of understanding the Catholic faith. I could always explain even the most difficult dogmas with ease. The faith is complex yet so simple, so clear, its so harmonious and perfect.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Next Sunday when I attend Mass, I will realize I am on Holy ground and am receiving God in Holy communion. I will be more reverent and grateful. I too love our Mother. Our neighbors gather every week to say the rosary. Our community has a public rosary once a month. One time one hundred people attended.

@@renaldosimmons6389 i believe it is you who is in the wrong house. Please do not disrespect our Blessed Mother. She is the Beloved Daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Son and the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. It is only proper to venerate and respect her accordingly.
@feebeedee yes I'm Catholic. Yet being Catholic doesn't mean you're a pacifist. He is the one saying we are doing the works of the Devil. We stand for truth and for him to believe Catholics are of the Devil, he has lost the plot. It isn't an insult. It's the truth.
Amen brother in Christ, once the Jewish people believe in Jesus Christ is the true messiah he will come again to judge the living and the died. I love being Catholic, the one true faith.
I was raised a Roman Catholic. As a youngster i attended mass fairly regularly however, in my mid thirties I became an atheist. I looked to Sikhism, Islam and Buddhism but nothing seemed to speak to me. Three years ago I experienced a life changing episode in my life. I felt suicidal and totally alone, despite the love of family and friends, I was lost and faithless. One day I decided to visit my local Catholic church. I attended mass and it just felt right! I had no miraculous experience, no vision or voices, it just felt like I belonged there.
After watching this video, I can't help falling more in love with our mother Mary, overr and over again. I can feel her as she is being discribed by Roy Schoeman. When praying the rosary I see myself on her lap praying to her son Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. What a beautiful testimony.
It was last year I first heard Roy Schoeman's testimony and he inspired me to continue my search for deeper meaning and understanding of my faith. I am a cradle Catholic. Educated in Catholic schools since kindergarten to Colkege I was faithful to my faith but know or understand little . When confronted about my faith I felt helpless and defenseless.. After hearing Roy's testimony I pursued learning more and the knowledge actually is teaching me to be humble and patient. Thank you.
Catholic from Poland here. Its great story, very happy to hear that happened! I wish me and people in my country appreciated more what we've got - majority of us were baptised as babies and were not thaught what it means properly. God bless you!
I've been hearing that Poland is very Catholic and has maybe the highest percentage of Catholics of any European country. Are there not many practicing Catholics that know their faith?
Keep the faith...If you think you and/or your countryshould appreciate more...you have no idea what has happened during the last 50 or 60 years here in the USA. It is sad to see what has happened to our society and even more so, what has happened to the Catholic faith. So many souls are lost, have lost faith...it is so sad.
Beautiful. I've always been Catholic, but the world puts many doubts in my head. This refreshes my faith and helps me to see more clearly. I should be more reverent and more devout. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I've been feeling this way for years starting from the age of 18 and I decided to find where I belong in many different religions but lately, I've been getting closer to my Catholic faith again and I couldn't be happier!

i honestly was the same way until Jesus Himself revealed Himself to me when i was constantly praying the rosary everyday for months asking in my lowest point of life. 🥺 i will never be the same. i have been reborn in Christ ever since that day.
I was born and raised Catholic, however I fell away and now miss it and want to go back. I believe fully that it is the one true Church. I love this man's story! I do have autoimmune issues, which have hindered me from getting to Mass over the years. I pray for God's Mercy on my Soul.
You are a blessing to our church. Your testimony touches my soul to the point that I tremble. Continue proclaiming that truth about our Catholic church and out dear Mother. God bless you greatly.

Years ago, I wrote a prayer that encapsulated my gratefulness and belief in God. The aspect of the Blessed Virgin that I was inspired to write, “Favored daughter of Almighty God, Mother of the Incarnate Word, Spouse of the Holy Ghost.” To hear that in this testimony brought tears to me eyes. This world is fallen, but we are never without help if we seek it earnestly and in faith. O, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Mater Dei et Mater mei, memento mea.
I too never wanted to become a Christian, how could I, that would be a betrayal, right? Our Blessed Mother held my hand as well. She is beyond words... Instead of the Shema, the last prayer I hope G-d to hear from my lips is the Rosery
CheMaldz Adz you know he basically said that. God does uses us and and also blesses us. God can bless us but if we turn away from him he can’t use us. We are his instruments and the Holy Spirit uses us and guides us for the glory of the kingdom.
CheMaldz Adz you said up above blessed not used now you say both ? This is pointless however it’s far better to not correct someone on something so little in case you get it wrong. This doesn’t mean don’t try but there is a time and a place. And I am guessing by blessed you mean full of grace. And being used by our lord and full of grace go hand in hand. This is because the graces we receive are from the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit dwells in those full of grace. And because they are full of the Holy Spirit they are instruments of God all mighty.
This video, was one of many moments when I felt (for the first time) really strong love for our Mother. Those days I was in chaos about which church to choose since I was preparing for baptism in local Husite church in Czech Republic and was in conflict with some of the teachings. Day before I prayed for guidance and as well asked my friend (for the first time) to pray for me. And the answer was so beautifull, very subtle, yet it all clicked and fall into right places and I could not hide from the Truth anymore. The Catholic church was the way to go and I was and I still am filled with quiet joy and love which I could not imagine before, it transcends all the worldly pains and ateism and angosticism of past is yet small shadow in comparison. Now I am preparing for baptism here in Prague and next year I want to say YES to the Church and be with Jesus and Mary, Joseph, all the angels, saints and brothers and sisters. I love going every day for morning mass, sing, listen and then spread the light of Christ, not to push anyone into faith, but in freedom show by example what matter the most. Since here is very few believers, I pray for my parents, family and friends that they also can experience personally this greatest gift of life and share it. Bless all of you!
I was raised Catholic my whole life, BUT recently I am now attending LATIN MASS and that is totally and completely HEAVENLY and GLORIOUS. Wow.. What a difference and I wish that for all Roman Catholics. AND GUESS who brought me to that MASS, YAP the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15th of 2019 I am so grateful to Her and GOD. AMEN
OL of Guadalupe revealed herself to me. She covered the sun. I was able to stare at the sun and it didn't hurt my eyes. Gold surrounded Mary and peace overcame me. She was as clear and beautiful as the original image, only the colors were more beautiful than colors in the world. She is real. My grandfather and uncle were named Guadalupe and I named one of my son's Guadalupe.
@@melvynn11 Hi Melanie. I saw OL of Guadalupe on Dec. 11, 2018. It was around 2:30 pm. My family needed a veritable miracle. Mama Mary's apparition was a sign to me that our need would be resolved. And sure enough it was. Several times when I have needed a miracle the sun does magnificent movements only for me to see. Blessed are you for believing. I am no longer afraid of death. I can't wait to see Mary again.
@@melvynn11 I forgot to mention that I was standing in front of my house in Texas. The day was beautiful, perfect weather. The sun was huge and bright when Mary came through the sun. My priest told me it was a private revelation since no one else has reported seeing her when she revealed herself to me.
The main reason why I was converted from a strong Protestantism to Roman Catholicism is the firm evidence from the HOLY BIBLE and STANDARD REFERENCES that it is the only true Religion founded by our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, Have a blessed day!
"Wherever the bishop shall appear, let the multitude of also be, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. -- Ignatius of Antioch (107- A.D.)
This is the first time I didn’t dismiss at first a private revelation not approved by the Church. His testimony and quotations of Our Lady are so clear and correct in terms of theology and Catholic teaching that it is truly possible that they happened. I too was brought to the Catholic Church by her (at Fatima) in a supernatural way, btw. Our Lady, pray for us!
Thank you for your witness. I had the same experience at a Protestant church, when during a bible study I heard the leader affirm the Protestant’s belief that Our Lady had other children. This statement brought me back home to the One, True, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Thanks be to God! Jesus Our Lord, Our God.
Wow. This was one of the most powerful conversion stories I ever heard. I can hear the authenticity of your soul as well as the peace of Christ in your ever word, your demeanor, your cadence. Very powerful.
@Collins Anosike JESUS didn't establish the Catholic church. The Catholic church is a false pagan religion. The Catholic church murdered real Christians. That church is NOT of GOD.

I’m amazed that this video showed up on my page this morning. I had read his book, Salvation is From the Jews, several years ago, and it shook me up and stuck with me. (That book along with Walter Cisek’s He Leadeth Me are the best Catholic memoirs I’ve read-and I’ve read tons!). Just yesterday I thought about re-reading Mr Shoeman’s book. I again thought about what he wrote this morning while I was reading Romans. Now this video showed up! Yes, I definitely need to revisit his book. I praise God for the blessings he gives his children because those blessing are really meant to trickle out to all of us. Thank you Mr. Shoeman for sharing your story with us!

So Precious....Oh how we are loved from above! Ave Maria! 🌹 Glory be to The Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, & ever shall be! World without end! Amen! (...&...how darling is Dr Schoeman's urgent enthusiasm to clarify, 'without being presumptuous, right at the end?...precious treasure of a testimony! ❤️)
Funny how Catholics ALWAYS place Mary front and center, whether in the liturgical or prayer sense, yet protest their (alleged) devotion to Jesus Christ/Christianity. You are a goddess worshiper.
Amen🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️ The beauty of our Mother Mary is indescribable ❤️🙏🏼 Being a Catholic is the most beautiful thing that could ever happen! The Eucharist is the real definition of the love that Jesus has for us❤️
It is so sad Adriana that so many people are deceived by the Papacy. I used to be a Catholic until I found the truth in God's word. Study the Bible to find the truth. Blessings!
Thank you for this testimony! I felt called into the Catholic Church earlier this year after seeking Jesus in other churches for a few years. It was an overwhelming experience of the Holy Spirit which shocked and surprised me. More recently I’m coming to see and love Mary in spite of scorn for her I learned in other churches. I love how you describe her voice. Your video confirms my experience. I am very grateful.
She spoke to you in Portugese because Professor, you need to go to Portugal, the Shrine of our Lady of Fatima. Please go. Please read the detailed story of Mary's Apparitions Fatima to 3 young children. God bless you.
Yes, the Blessed Virgin Mary's voice is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Melodic, pure and absolutely clear. And she is nothing! He is Everything!
Mama Mary help me away from Protestant. They accused her,even Me until Mama Mary intervene and She helped me,to know her Son in different perspective. I am proud Catholic,And believer of Jesus and Mary! Amen!
Shema Echad three things. 1. We don't worship Mary. 2. Every action of Mary served solely to glorify her Son. 3. Mary is not a goddess. She is a human that God chose to honour as His own mother.
Shema Echad between Catholics and God, He knows well that we value His Son infinitely more than we value Mary. Every mass is offered to God. The Eucharist, the centre of our faith, has nothing to do with Mary. You have no understanding of Catholic doctrine or theology if you truly believe we worship anything other than God. Mary's ability to be invoked comes from no one other than God. Every action of Mary, Scriptural or not, has served the sole purpose of glorifying her Son. Giving birth, being present at the crucifixion, all her apparitions, etc. They all glorify Christ, not herself. It sure is a shame that all Christians must have been pagans for 1500 years until a mentally ill monk finally got it right. We have one God. We attest at every mass that we believe in one God (in the Nicene Creed). The piece of bread that we believe to be Jesus's Body is not treated as another god. That piece of bread is our God; it is the literal body and blood of Jesus (John 6). I don't have to convince you that you're believing in falsehoods about the Catholic faith. It's your choice to remain ignorant. Also, since when were Catholics satanists? Our baptismal promises specifically renounce Satan. Further proof of your pure, unadulterated, total, willful ignorance regarding the Catholic faith. As an aside, I used to be exactly like you. I used to think that Catholicism was the whore of babylon, polytheist, pagan, idolatrous, etc. I was raised a Protestant, a diehard one at that. However, when I began to look into the Catholic Church, I had an extremely rational epiphany of its truth. Unlike the professor here (though I admire his conversion story), my conversion was much less "feely" than his. I studied the theology behind the Church, and I converted after a rather anti-Catholic investigation. Eventually, the objective truth of the Church overcame my reservations, and I was confirmed into the Church just recently. It's your choice whether or not to be ignorant regarding the faith. It's not my problem, but I do always try to correct misconceptions. It's ultimately between you and God to determine how He revealed His truth.
Shema Echad please explain the original Nicene Creed, then. The purpose of the Council of Nicaea was to define the Trinity, which it did. Also, might I ask, what are you, then? One of the Christians that claims to be neither Protestant nor Catholic? Or not Christian at all? Also, again, we do believe in One God. The Trinity is One God in three distinct Persons, as you likely know, assuming you do possess the knowledge you claim (though you have persistently arrested against those claims in your demonstrations of "knowledge"). You say "Trinity abomination." Have you any understanding that there are direct references to each of the distinct Persons of the Trinity in Scripture?
Thats how ya know something REALLY happened. The effect was in his voice, like the state of awe ETC. The visitation dream he described affected me in a similar way. Some stories people tell are flat, and much much harder to believe without any noticeable effect.
Thank you for this testimony. I have several nieces and nephews who have left the church…..I pray that I can get them to watch this….please pray with me!

Cradle Catholic here. Thank you for your testimony, it was so beautiful. May we all continue to grow in our faith and love for our Heavenly family. Prayers for your words to touch souls and bring them to HIM. Amen.
This is easily the most powerful secular, first person, contemporary testament to the catholic faith I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing Professor Schoeman! Have to say the event that he describes is mystical, magical and beautiful. Riveting presentation!
I have already listened to Prof. Schoeman"s conversion story on CD. Simply outstanding, especially the account of his visionary experience with the Blessed Virgin.
Thank you Roy for sharing your testimony. It is clear that God moves in mysterious ways you can't imagine. I am a proud Catholic like Roy. I also have a few questions about my faith before but I know the Holy Spirit is guiding me. I am not that well-versed with the bible but I know for a fact that Jesus once told His apostles "Do this in memory of Me." The Holy Eucharist is what we celebrate during mass following exactly what He told us to do. Do this! If that is the case and it has been passed on from generation to generation then what He said was true that "upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The Catholic church has been there for so many many many years. Yet other churches try to destroy it by interpreting their own version of the bible. And they failed. As anyone can see, the Catholic church is still standing tall after all these years. No new religion or sect can put it down. Not even the gates of hell. That's what He said if we read between the lines. Otherwise Jesus is lying if the church He built that time has long been gone. But He isn't. Are you going to try to put down the Catholic church again? By default, you already lost. About the Blessed Virgin Mary. The most humble woman on earth whom she carried Jesus for nine months said that she is just a creature like everybody else. Mary took care of Jesus when she became pregnant until His death. I am not so sure why other people attack and insult her if God chose her to take care of His only begotten Son. Maybe you don't have any respect to your country's president if you didn't vote for him or her. But are you going to do the same to whom God has chosen? You throw stones to this woman as if you are not a sinner. She appeared to several people here on earth to repent and be saved. Because she knows only God can forgive and save. Her Guadalupe apparition converted millions of people to be closer to God. Fatima is the same. Her message to Lucia is for the conversion of Russia. Do her apparitions tell you that she is dead? And do her messages to repent and be closer to God evil? Will the enemy of God tell you that? Are you going to tell something against her again because its not in the scriptures and throw away verses that everyone should know about salvation, hatred to Mary and whatever you can think of to support your claim? Why Mary and not Elijah, Moses, John, other saints, prophets or apostles appear and ask us to get closer to God? Do you think the Blessed Virgin Mary loves us so much more keeping us from sinning and going astray even to those who don't like her, don't know her or refuse to believe her? Our God is a loving God. I know God loves even our billion of muslim and bhuddist brothers and sisters. He laid down His Son to save the entire world. For God so loved the world. Would He turn His back on them because they are not Christians? They know nothing about our God since they pray to their own. Let alone the verses in the bible. Do you think our non-Christian brothers and sisters are already condemned? I know God is also after our faith. Samson got back his strenght because of faith. Jesus said to the woman who touched His cloak that she was healed because of her faith. He was amazed by the faith of the centurion. The blind man's faith made him see again and so much more. I don't think these people carry scrolls as basis of their faith and knowledge about God. Yet they were healed and followed Jesus. I knew Roy received a gift from heaven when he came near Jesus and Mary. Common gift is healing. Fr. Maniyangat received a gift of healing. My grandma also had the same story (1944) as this priest (1985) when they almost died. An angel brought them to hell, purgatory and heaven. My grandma said she met a man holding a key. When she came back to life she can also heal. Lastly, I hope that during this time of crisis we leave our differences behind and unite as one nation fighting the disease. Pardon my english. To God be the Glory! May He bless and protect us all!
Will never be able to thank you enough for this video. I've listened to many inspirational stories, but yours has changed my life! Sometimes people are afraid to share experiences of this kind. Thank you for being brave enough to do so.

There are a lot of RUclips videos recommended for me to watch about Catholicism. I am 23 years old and I wish someday to meet others who are Catholic. I love tradition, I love catholic, I love things that are like this. I want to marry someone who enjoys being a Catholic as well.
You enjoy praying to mary? You will not enjoy hell.
@@brotherdj777 - Ask Jesus what He thinks about His Mother. I'm a schoolteacher, and the most common cause of physical fights is a foolish child insulting another child's mother. The child whose mother is insulted flies to her defense. Maybe y'all don't care about your mothers where you come from.
@@brotherdj777 We don't worship The Blessed Virgin. She is a creature, imbued with God's Grace from her conception. We venerate her because of her acceptance of the role of the mother of Christ, our Lord and our God. We ask her to pray for us because we know that her son will not refuse her. In ancient Israel, the queen was the king's mother, not his wife. Think about that.

I was raised as a Protestant. At 18 I became an atheist. At the age of 27 I am now pursuing Roman Catholicism. God never gave up on me, and neither did my family.

Where was your church ? No where.
Yes that is correct. Although Judaism of Jesus time was corrupt and wicked. That is why they did not except Jesus as their messiah. And so too the Catholic church is also corrupt and wicked, and they too do not except Jesus as the messiah. You see when you add or take away from the word of God you have destroyed it, corrupted it, perverted it. They have both added man made traditions to the word of God. That destroys God's word. That is why the Bible says do not add or take away from the word of God.
Two weeks after this video was released , I attended my first Mass as a true believer, 50 years after my baptism. I long to share the Mass again and feel the tears of joy when the priest holds the Holy Sacrament.

Simply beautiful. I need to be a better Catholic like this man.
Roy Schoeman's testimony in this video was a big part of me wanting to become Catholic and motivated me to pray Our Lady's rosary every day. I love his story.
I'm so happy for you. I, too, love his story. One reason is how our Mother told him not to worship Her, she is a creature, They are everything. We know that, but the Protestants don't seem to want to understand that.
Every Christian faith is a calling.
You need to seek it and you'll be called.
Mary is in the ground, awaiting the last trumpet.
Me too. His testimony was a critical part of my reversion. Thank you, Jesus.

Orthodox Christian here! Love the rosary! Our blessed mother is Thotokos- the bridge between God and Man! No Mary no Jesus the only begotten son of God!
How do your feel towards Catholicism? I'm a former Orthodox Christian and wish deeply for reunification.
God bless you Ramona and all Orthodox that respect and lover the mother of Jesus!
Theotokos. Yes the Mother of God! Can you believe that. Such a mystery, God! GOD! Oh all to Him. ❤️
Get back to the Catholic Church, because outside of her, there is no salvation.
Ramona Ray ....Hi like the words Theotokos ☺ .. I want to know about Orthodox Christian on Mother Mary. I really like your icons esp Jesus and Mary . But Why Protestant always find honouring Mother Mary as too Catholicism because I find Orthodox also has deep connection with Mother Mary too..😍
Fantastic testimony, my brother. I was born and raised Protestant (Evangelical). In search for truth I galloped from Evangelical to SDA to Jehovah's Witnesses and finally landed in the Catholic Church, the only Church Jesus called MY CHURCH. That was 40 years ago and I have never looked back, always praising God for letting me see His Light that eventually led me to His Church! Welcome to the flock.
I am named after her, she heard the prayer off my mom wen I was very ill as a baby, and thats why I still alive. Thanks to Mary my heavenly mother in heaven
Welcome home!!
Oh yeah? Where did he call the catholic church his church? Word by word?
I was born Catholic and was not so much practicing and was almost atheist, then 2019 something dramatic happened and made me realise that Catholicism is the correct way of Christianity....I never looked back ever after.
Same, except, for me it happened during lockdown
Brilliant ! Jesus is name of the LORD Amen and Amen 🙏🙌
What happened. I saw Her in my living room in Bangkok 10 am in the morning instantly lifting me out of abject depression and my immediate problems instantly disappearing
I am a Catholic as well, but one thing I do not like about the Catholic church is that they do not inject the evils going on in the world today in their homilies. It is vital that they discuss the world we live in and the sin that is spreading through it like a cancer. Like Joseph of Aramathia (sp) told the Sanhedrin - can we honestly say we represent the people. The church should be talking about Ukraine, abortion and all the evils going on in the world and not hide behind their tax exempt status!
@@carolczapik8044 go to a Latin Mass and you will most likely hear a homily warning of the evils of the world
What an inspiring story I wish a lot of Catholics had the same faith this man has , my faith has to be constantly renewed by watching stories like this .

Mary : "I am the beloved daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son and Spouse of the Spirit."
BEAUTIFUL
Spouse of the spirit? These r just words. What does it mean?
They aren't 3 separate God's.
Sounds borderline heresy.
Very beautiful indeed. She has a different relationship with each Person of the Holy Trinity. That is amazing.

@Collins Anosike Are you saying Mary is the spouse of the holy spirit or does that phrase have a different meaning???
@@leahjames6870 Spouse of the Spirit as in she is in union with the Holy Spirit.
@@Rachel-sw7rv What do you mean "in union with the holy spirit"??? Like a marriage???
@Collins Anosike I ask unnecessary questions??? Wow. That is your response to my question??? Believing something doesn't make it true. That has nothing to do with what is true. If you want to believe such made up rubbish, then go ahead. But I won't. If you want to accept such unscriptual traditions and beliefs, then go ahead. But I won't. You really should pray and ask GOD to help you see the truth, because people like you will be lost because they "didn't ask unnecessary questions" and leave false religions like Catholicism...Sad...
I was teary when Roy mentioned what the Blessed Mother told him her favorite title: the Daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Son, and the Spouse of the Holy Spirit"--because while I was praying to her I asked the same question, and 'she' told me the same answer several months before I encountered Shoeman in youtube.
rey reyes Wow! That’s amazing. You are blessed!
@@thebabynurse7161 so afraid....
@Marie W 777 I didn't say she's married to the Holy Spirit, I said she's the spouse of the Holy Spirit. Spouse in Theology is wider in meaning than being a 'wife'; Spouse in Theology is mystical, spiritual. You might understand this better when you read the Song of Songs of Solomon wherein it speaks of the Groom (God) and the soul as spouse. Moreover, the Catholic Church teaches that Mary conceived Jesus 'by' the power of the Holy Spirit, so in that sense she is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit because only spouses may beget or conceive someone. Now, please don't think that Jesus is brought about sexually because God can fertilize a human egg cell in His own way (not the way humans and animals procreate) just as He is capable of creating us out of nothing.
@Marie W 777 Not all truths that God wants us to know are written in the Scriptures. Look for John's Gospel where he mentioned it. The New Testament in particular was about Jesus's teachings, His redemption of humanity through His death on the Cross. Hence, other truths about Jesus i.e., his relation to His mother, Jesus leaves to His church in the development of His teachings ( Theology, Dogmas of the Church). Catholic Doctrine is a matter of faith; and it does not make sense to unbelievers like you--just as Jesus during His time was crucified because of HIs 'nonsense' teachings; many didn't believe Him. For Catholics, the dogmas about Mary and the Church of Christ are held for beliefs (that's why they're dogmas) . Dogmas are not blasphemies but precisely they're declared to be true by the Authority of the Church to counteract heresies and blasphemies. So anyone who calls the dogmas about the Bless Mother blasphemous--he blasphemes. If you don't accept the dogmas about Mary, then it's your choice, it's between you and God. You may ask Him the same questions when you meet Him as our Judge. And wait for His answer while going elsewhere...Bless you.
I just watched it also..I couldn't hold back tears.Bless you brother.
The fact that Mother Mary's favorite prayer is the prayer she showed to St. Catherine Labouré at the Rue de Bac Chapel to make the miraculous medal!! This gives me goosebumps!!

One and only Catholic Church
@ljit ljam only faith can give you the ray of light and hope, Jesus Christ our Lord gives life and nourishment. Have faith, seek Christ and practice traditional Catholicism and you will feel what Christ and true Christian-Catholicism is. I had some kind of depression but It vanished as it was nothing when I started to practice just this September, I feel different from before and it is the grace of God. I'm nearly 17 and depression is common among teenagers, a friend of mine is depressed but there are two things that males different from me and her. First she has been raised Adventist, then she is Atheist so not practicing. I try to help her but the only solution is faith in traditional Catholicism (not mainstream Vatican II set but Tridentine Rite), my slow conversion is thanks the grace of the Holy Spirit and the Tridentine Rite.
I hope you can find peace in yourself but I can assure that true and absolute happiness is only in devotion to Christ but also to His Mother, our Lady. Is easier to heal throught faith rather than with a psychologist.
@ljit ljam Please do not kill yourself. Murder is sin, an offense to GOD. He created YOU with a purpose for YOU. You need to repent of yours sins and follow Christ. Obey his laws. Give your life solely to him. GOD loves YOU and your life is very variable to him. We were created to worship him forever. But sin has caused a divide between us and GOD. But Christ is the savior, that closes that division. He came to put us back on the right path and relationship with GOD. You can have joy, peace and love in your heart and soul, but most of all, the forgiveness of your sins, the breaking of the laws of GOD, all of that can be forgiven. Every lie, theft, fornication, pornography, etc, can all be forgiven. YOU don't have to live in fear or anxiety. GOD loves you. Christ died for YOU. He rose again for YOU. Pray and ask GOD to help you. Get you a bible and read Acts 2:38 and obey it. Ask GOD to fill you with the holy ghost and give you power to live free from sin and live this life. We will suffer in the life, but GOD gives us the power to make it. YOU CAN MAKE IT. GOD is bigger than drugs, abuse, loneliness, depression, fear, sadness, pain, addictions, etc!!!!! Christ is our only true lasting hope. Please don't take your life. Please know that YOU are so dearly LOVED❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank Goodness, there isn't more of them, this deception is enough!
Orthodox is the one and true church, it was indivisible all this time, while Catholics exploded in conflicts and split into protestants and now there are 25 thousand churches stemming from that. Orthodox church was one and true all this time!
This is so amazing. we as Catholics, should embrace our church, The Rosary, sacrament, sacramental. The Eucharist, the most precious to come in to our body and soul. Go to daily Mass also not just on Sunday. Holy Hour. God bless
Go to Mass and communion and do the stations of the Cross. Marian devotion is a very lovely option but is not required from a Catholic to achieve full salvation.

I was raised a Roman Catholic. As a youngster i attended mass fairly regularly however, in my mid thirties I became an atheist. I looked to Sikhism, Islam and Buddhism but nothing seemed to speak to me. Three years ago I experienced a life changing episode in my life. I felt suicidal and totally alone, despite the love of family and friends, I was lost and faithless. One day I decided to visit my local Catholic church. I attended mass and it just felt right! I had no miraculous experience, no vision or voices, it just felt like I belonged there.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH A DEAD WOMAN INSTEAD OF A SAVIOR who gave HIS LIFE FOR YOU AT THE HANDS OF THE CATHOLIC ROMANS
It was last year I first heard Roy Schoeman's testimony and he inspired me to continue my search for deeper meaning and understanding of my faith. I am a cradle Catholic. Educated in Catholic schools since kindergarten to Colkege I was faithful to my faith but know or understand little . When confronted about my faith I felt helpless and defenseless.. After hearing Roy's testimony I pursued learning more and the knowledge actually is teaching me to be humble and patient. Thank you.
Catholic from Poland here. Its great story, very happy to hear that happened! I wish me and people in my country appreciated more what we've got - majority of us were baptised as babies and were not thaught what it means properly. God bless you!
unfortunately the church true as it is, doesn't focus on salvation. that's all they need to preach every Sunday.

I've been hearing that Poland is very Catholic and has maybe the highest percentage of Catholics of any European country.
Are there not many practicing Catholics that know their faith?
Keep the faith...If you think you and/or your countryshould appreciate more...you have no idea what has happened during the last 50 or 60 years here in the USA. It is sad to see what has happened to our society and even more so, what has happened to the Catholic faith. So many souls are lost, have lost faith...it is so sad.
Beautiful. I've always been Catholic, but the world puts many doubts in my head. This refreshes my faith and helps me to see more clearly. I should be more reverent and more devout. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I've been feeling this way for years starting from the age of 18 and I decided to find where I belong in many different religions but lately, I've been getting closer to my Catholic faith again and I couldn't be happier!
We are not just a worldly faith. We are part of the mystical body of Christ.

I'm a DEIST, I don't believe in any religion. I used to be a devoted RC there is no way I'm going back to RC. F*ck abrahamic religion. I wonder how he can justify the killing of people in the Bible? There are so many religion in the world like Buddhism that has no prescribed punishment, why he choose abrahamic religion? Perhaps this is just a propaganda to attack atheism.
@@johndy4823 I guess you didn't watch the video.
Regular Christian brainwashing makes Christianity last for twenty centuries.

Years ago, I wrote a prayer that encapsulated my gratefulness and belief in God. The aspect of the Blessed Virgin that I was inspired to write, “Favored daughter of Almighty God, Mother of the Incarnate Word, Spouse of the Holy Ghost.” To hear that in this testimony brought tears to me eyes. This world is fallen, but we are never without help if we seek it earnestly and in faith. O, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Mater Dei et Mater mei, memento mea.
Whooow!!!
I am Maria gorett from India.I feel proud of you br in Christ.God bless you. Glory to God.Amen
I too never wanted to become a Christian, how could I, that would be a betrayal, right? Our Blessed Mother held my hand as well. She is beyond words... Instead of the Shema, the last prayer I hope G-d to hear from my lips is the Rosery
Congratulations. Do you realize that you are being used by the Father, Son and holy spirit!!! Keep it up. You are an instrument of the Lord.
CheMaldz Adz you know he basically said that. God does uses us and and also blesses us. God can bless us but if we turn away from him he can’t use us. We are his instruments and the Holy Spirit uses us and guides us for the glory of the kingdom.
CheMaldz Adz you said up above blessed not used now you say both ? This is pointless however it’s far better to not correct someone on something so little in case you get it wrong. This doesn’t mean don’t try but there is a time and a place. And I am guessing by blessed you mean full of grace. And being used by our lord and full of grace go hand in hand. This is because the graces we receive are from the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit dwells in those full of grace. And because they are full of the Holy Spirit they are instruments of God all mighty.
Yes you are
Ó! Maria, concebida sem pecado, rogai por nós que recorremos a vós.
I literally cried when he mentioned the favorite prayer of Mary
This is very Powerful!
Pro Deo et Ecclesia
This video, was one of many moments when I felt (for the first time) really strong love for our Mother. Those days I was in chaos about which church to choose since I was preparing for baptism in local Husite church in Czech Republic and was in conflict with some of the teachings. Day before I prayed for guidance and as well asked my friend (for the first time) to pray for me. And the answer was so beautifull, very subtle, yet it all clicked and fall into right places and I could not hide from the Truth anymore. The Catholic church was the way to go and I was and I still am filled with quiet joy and love which I could not imagine before, it transcends all the worldly pains and ateism and angosticism of past is yet small shadow in comparison. Now I am preparing for baptism here in Prague and next year I want to say YES to the Church and be with Jesus and Mary, Joseph, all the angels, saints and brothers and sisters. I love going every day for morning mass, sing, listen and then spread the light of Christ, not to push anyone into faith, but in freedom show by example what matter the most. Since here is very few believers, I pray for my parents, family and friends that they also can experience personally this greatest gift of life and share it. Bless all of you!
I was raised Catholic my whole life, BUT recently I am now attending LATIN MASS and that is totally and completely HEAVENLY and GLORIOUS. Wow.. What a difference and I wish that for all Roman Catholics. AND GUESS who brought me to that MASS, YAP the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15th of 2019 I am so grateful to Her and GOD. AMEN
Latin Mass ❤
OL of Guadalupe revealed herself to me. She covered the sun. I was able to stare at the sun and it didn't hurt my eyes. Gold surrounded Mary and peace overcame me. She was as clear and beautiful as the original image, only the colors were more beautiful than colors in the world. She is real. My grandfather and uncle were named Guadalupe and I named one of my son's Guadalupe.
That's an illusion
that is so beautiful. when did this happen and where were you when it happened/what prompted it? beautiful!
@@melvynn11 Hi Melanie. I saw OL of Guadalupe on Dec. 11, 2018. It was around 2:30 pm. My family needed a veritable miracle. Mama Mary's apparition was a sign to me that our need would be resolved. And sure enough it was. Several times when I have needed a miracle the sun does magnificent movements only for me to see. Blessed are you for believing. I am no longer afraid of death. I can't wait to see Mary again.
@ljit ljam I pray you are doing alright. Don't hurt yourself.
@@melvynn11 I forgot to mention that I was standing in front of my house in Texas. The day was beautiful, perfect weather. The sun was huge and bright when Mary came through the sun. My priest told me it was a private revelation since no one else has reported seeing her when she revealed herself to me.
Please pray for me.
I need Jesus in my life right now.
He's always with you. Enter His presence by seeking Him wholeheartedly.

YOU are in my prayers☆

The main reason why I was converted from a strong Protestantism to Roman Catholicism is the firm evidence from the HOLY BIBLE and STANDARD REFERENCES that it is the only true Religion founded by our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, Have a blessed day!
WoW, what a testimony!!! God bless you brother.
"Wherever the bishop shall appear, let the multitude of also be, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.
-- Ignatius of Antioch (107- A.D.)
Even being a Catholic for the past 30 years, my believe for my church has increased after watching this powerful testimony. Thanks for sharing.
This is the first time I didn’t dismiss at first a private revelation not approved by the Church. His testimony and quotations of Our Lady are so clear and correct in terms of theology and Catholic teaching that it is truly possible that they happened. I too was brought to the Catholic Church by her (at Fatima) in a supernatural way, btw. Our Lady, pray for us!
Tell me your experience
Me too!
Thank you for your witness. I had the same experience at a Protestant church, when during a bible study I heard the leader affirm the Protestant’s belief that Our Lady had other children. This statement brought me back home to the One, True, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Thanks be to God! Jesus Our Lord, Our God.
Mia yet no where in scripture does it mention the Virgin Mary had other children besides Jesus.
Hail, Star of the Sea!
You, Mr. Schoeman, along with Mother Miriam, are more Jewish than ever! Thanks be to God for his tender Mercy!
Wow. This was one of the most powerful conversion stories I ever heard. I can hear the authenticity of your soul as well as the peace of Christ in your ever word, your demeanor, your cadence. Very powerful.
You just know he's telling the truth.
Yes. This is jaw-droppingly impactful,
I heard his story on The Journey Home. I never get tired of hearing it,
I watch your talk again and again.I wish I see you in India.
ngashan konghay I want to meet him here in Vermont, USA.
@Collins Anosike JESUS didn't establish the Catholic church. The Catholic church is a false pagan religion. The Catholic church murdered real Christians. That church is NOT of GOD.

Beautiful testimony. The truth is from this gentleman, our brother in Christ ❤.
Brilliant testimony. How merciful and patient our LORD is.
I’m amazed that this video showed up on my page this morning. I had read his book, Salvation is From the Jews, several years ago, and it shook me up and stuck with me. (That book along with Walter Cisek’s He Leadeth Me are the best Catholic memoirs I’ve read-and I’ve read tons!). Just yesterday I thought about re-reading Mr Shoeman’s book. I again thought about what he wrote this morning while I was reading Romans. Now this video showed up! Yes, I definitely need to revisit his book.
I praise God for the blessings he gives his children because those blessing are really meant to trickle out to all of us. Thank you Mr. Shoeman for sharing your story with us!
When he talks about Our Lady, I get so overwhelmed with love for Her. She is Our Mother and our guide to Jesus's kingdom ❤ ✝️
And this is not Mary worship?
I am so happy to have come across this video. Unam Sanctam.
Me too

So Precious....Oh how we are loved from above!
Ave Maria! 🌹
Glory be to The Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, & ever shall be!
World without end! Amen!
(...&...how darling is Dr Schoeman's urgent enthusiasm to clarify, 'without being presumptuous, right at the end?...precious treasure of a testimony! ❤️)
have u read quran,all the best liza
Funny how Catholics ALWAYS place Mary front and center, whether in the liturgical or prayer sense, yet protest their (alleged) devotion to Jesus Christ/Christianity. You are a goddess worshiper.
Bless be Jesus most Holy and most venerable.He is the alpha and the omega. The Lilly of the valley, the rose of sharon.
I love the images.
Amen🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️ The beauty of our Mother Mary is indescribable ❤️🙏🏼 Being a Catholic is the most beautiful thing that could ever happen! The Eucharist is the real definition of the love that Jesus has for us❤️
It is so sad Adriana that so many people are deceived by the Papacy. I used to be a Catholic until I found the truth in God's word. Study the Bible to find the truth. Blessings!
why doesn`t trinty is written in bible
Thank you for this testimony! I felt called into the Catholic Church earlier this year after seeking Jesus in other churches for a few years. It was an overwhelming experience of the Holy Spirit which shocked and surprised me. More recently I’m coming to see and love Mary in spite of scorn for her I learned in other churches. I love how you describe her voice. Your video confirms my experience. I am very grateful.
TheMobbit 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tell me more about your experience with the holy spirit pls
Being a Catholic, I was so moved by this testimony. Our Lady is so magnificent in her approach to those who seek her Son.
Isn't it a Happy Coincidence that I am watching this video on the Feast day of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception? Thank God for Your endless Love.
Truly a beautiful testimony! Welcome home brother. May our Blessed Mother Mary continue to guide you always.
She spoke to you in Portugese because Professor, you need to go to Portugal, the Shrine of our Lady of Fatima. Please go. Please read the detailed story of Mary's Apparitions Fatima to 3 young children. God bless you.
Come! I'll receive you, I'm portuguese and love in Portugal 😊
I’m Speechless❤️ welcome to home brother
Beautiful. A true Jewish following the the true massiah.
Then he is a Christian, not a jew.
Christianity is the best religion ever. Praise the lord. Amen. ➕
@@dalialule6324 D'oh! Because it is true.
You can't follow the messiah, by following a pagan religion.
@Collins Anosike What😂😂😂 Why would I be possessed??? If I am wrong, then correct me. Don't insult me.
Yes, the Blessed Virgin Mary's voice is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Melodic, pure and absolutely clear. And she is nothing! He is Everything!
Mama Mary help me away from Protestant. They accused her,even Me until Mama Mary intervene and She helped me,to know her Son in different perspective. I am proud Catholic,And believer of Jesus and Mary! Amen!
Roy I believe that I understand all that your sharing. Our
Mother and queen in heaven is the true mother of heaven and earth. I love her
Shema Echad three things.
1. We don't worship Mary.
2. Every action of Mary served solely to glorify her Son.
3. Mary is not a goddess. She is a human that God chose to honour as His own mother.
Shema Echad between Catholics and God, He knows well that we value His Son infinitely more than we value Mary. Every mass is offered to God. The Eucharist, the centre of our faith, has nothing to do with Mary. You have no understanding of Catholic doctrine or theology if you truly believe we worship anything other than God. Mary's ability to be invoked comes from no one other than God. Every action of Mary, Scriptural or not, has served the sole purpose of glorifying her Son. Giving birth, being present at the crucifixion, all her apparitions, etc. They all glorify Christ, not herself.
It sure is a shame that all Christians must have been pagans for 1500 years until a mentally ill monk finally got it right.
We have one God. We attest at every mass that we believe in one God (in the Nicene Creed). The piece of bread that we believe to be Jesus's Body is not treated as another god. That piece of bread is our God; it is the literal body and blood of Jesus (John 6).
I don't have to convince you that you're believing in falsehoods about the Catholic faith. It's your choice to remain ignorant.
Also, since when were Catholics satanists? Our baptismal promises specifically renounce Satan. Further proof of your pure, unadulterated, total, willful ignorance regarding the Catholic faith.
As an aside, I used to be exactly like you. I used to think that Catholicism was the whore of babylon, polytheist, pagan, idolatrous, etc. I was raised a Protestant, a diehard one at that. However, when I began to look into the Catholic Church, I had an extremely rational epiphany of its truth. Unlike the professor here (though I admire his conversion story), my conversion was much less "feely" than his. I studied the theology behind the Church, and I converted after a rather anti-Catholic investigation. Eventually, the objective truth of the Church overcame my reservations, and I was confirmed into the Church just recently.
It's your choice whether or not to be ignorant regarding the faith. It's not my problem, but I do always try to correct misconceptions. It's ultimately between you and God to determine how He revealed His truth.
Shema Echad please explain the original Nicene Creed, then. The purpose of the Council of Nicaea was to define the Trinity, which it did.
Also, might I ask, what are you, then? One of the Christians that claims to be neither Protestant nor Catholic? Or not Christian at all?
Also, again, we do believe in One God. The Trinity is One God in three distinct Persons, as you likely know, assuming you do possess the knowledge you claim (though you have persistently arrested against those claims in your demonstrations of "knowledge").
You say "Trinity abomination." Have you any understanding that there are direct references to each of the distinct Persons of the Trinity in Scripture?
Maybe you’re right big brain but I love her anyway, but I adore God
Welcome to our Catholic family. Many blessings! Thanks for sharing your conversion
My heart was bursting when he described Mama Mary. I can only imagine the joy I will feel when we meet face to face!!
why doesn`t trinty is written in bible
Thats how ya know something REALLY happened. The effect was in his voice, like the state of awe ETC. The visitation dream he described affected me in a similar way. Some stories people tell are flat, and much much harder to believe without any noticeable effect.
God bless you Roy. I heard your testimony some time ago. It is moving. I love your podcast as well. Pax Christi.
Roy is a great blessing to the Catholic church. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this testimony. I have several nieces and nephews who have left the church…..I pray that I can get them to watch this….please pray with me!

why doen`t trinity never mentioned in bible,
I am a returning Catholic after following Judaism for years. I love this.
His book “Salvation is from the Jews” is a fascinating read. I read it years ago; I should probably read it again.
I'm a DEIST, perhaps there is a creator without interaction to human but I don't believe in any religion. I used to be a devoted RC there is no way I'm going back to RC. F*ck abrahamic religion.

Thank you for telling us the beautiful story of your life! I’m a Catholic too and
your encounters with Dear Jesus and the Blessed Mother Mary were so moving that I could feel a bit of the love and grace you experienced!
I felt God's love through this video
Cradle Catholic here. Thank you for your testimony, it was so beautiful. May we all continue to grow in our faith and love for our Heavenly family. Prayers for your words to touch souls and bring them to HIM. Amen.
This is easily the most powerful secular, first person, contemporary testament to the catholic faith I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing Professor Schoeman! Have to say the event that he describes is mystical, magical and beautiful. Riveting presentation!
Thank you for your kind words Jason. God Bless!
I agree...what an inspiring testomony!
Good for you Professor..NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME! I'm a Roman Catholic since birth 🙏❤
Thank you for the testimony. 😇 GOD Bless you all! 🙌
Balling my eyes out, this is so beautiful!
*Bawling :) It's very beautiful.
I did too!
I have already listened to Prof. Schoeman"s conversion story on CD. Simply outstanding, especially the account of his visionary experience with the Blessed Virgin.
Beautiful conversion. God bless you dear gentleman.
Thank you Roy for sharing your testimony. It is clear that God moves in mysterious ways you can't imagine. I am a proud Catholic like Roy. I also have a few questions about my faith before but I know the Holy Spirit is guiding me. I am not that well-versed with the bible but I know for a fact that Jesus once told His apostles "Do this in memory of Me." The Holy Eucharist is what we celebrate during mass following exactly what He told us to do. Do this! If that is the case and it has been passed on from generation to generation then what He said was true that "upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." The Catholic church has been there for so many many many years. Yet other churches try to destroy it by interpreting their own version of the bible. And they failed. As anyone can see, the Catholic church is still standing tall after all these years. No new religion or sect can put it down. Not even the gates of hell. That's what He said if we read between the lines. Otherwise Jesus is lying if the church He built that time has long been gone. But He isn't. Are you going to try to put down the Catholic church again? By default, you already lost.
About the Blessed Virgin Mary. The most humble woman on earth whom she carried Jesus for nine months said that she is just a creature like everybody else. Mary took care of Jesus when she became pregnant until His death. I am not so sure why other people attack and insult her if God chose her to take care of His only begotten Son. Maybe you don't have any respect to your country's president if you didn't vote for him or her. But are you going to do the same to whom God has chosen? You throw stones to this woman as if you are not a sinner. She appeared to several people here on earth to repent and be saved. Because she knows only God can forgive and save. Her Guadalupe apparition converted millions of people to be closer to God. Fatima is the same. Her message to Lucia is for the conversion of Russia. Do her apparitions tell you that she is dead? And do her messages to repent and be closer to God evil? Will the enemy of God tell you that? Are you going to tell something against her again because its not in the scriptures and throw away verses that everyone should know about salvation, hatred to Mary and whatever you can think of to support your claim? Why Mary and not Elijah, Moses, John, other saints, prophets or apostles appear and ask us to get closer to God? Do you think the Blessed Virgin Mary loves us so much more keeping us from sinning and going astray even to those who don't like her, don't know her or refuse to believe her?
Our God is a loving God. I know God loves even our billion of muslim and bhuddist brothers and sisters. He laid down His Son to save the entire world. For God so loved the world. Would He turn His back on them because they are not Christians? They know nothing about our God since they pray to their own. Let alone the verses in the bible. Do you think our non-Christian brothers and sisters are already condemned?
I know God is also after our faith. Samson got back his strenght because of faith. Jesus said to the woman who touched His cloak that she was healed because of her faith. He was amazed by the faith of the centurion. The blind man's faith made him see again and so much more. I don't think these people carry scrolls as basis of their faith and knowledge about God. Yet they were healed and followed Jesus.
I knew Roy received a gift from heaven when he came near Jesus and Mary. Common gift is healing. Fr. Maniyangat received a gift of healing. My grandma also had the same story (1944) as this priest (1985) when they almost died. An angel brought them to hell, purgatory and heaven. My grandma said she met a man holding a key. When she came back to life she can also heal.
Lastly, I hope that during this time of crisis we leave our differences behind and unite as one nation fighting the disease.
Pardon my english. To God be the Glory! May He bless and protect us all!
I thank you Jesus for giving me to catholic family 🙏🕯
Wow, absolutely powerful story brother! Praise God, Holy mother mediatrix of all graces, Ora Pro Nobis 🙏🏽
Will never be able to thank you enough for this video.
I've listened to many inspirational stories, but yours has changed my life!
Sometimes people are afraid to share experiences of this kind. Thank you for being brave enough to do so.
My sentiments as well. What a testimony!
Welcome Home brother!!!
