I decided to go to church today when I realized the Gospel reading was of the Transfiguration. For whatever reason, that is one of my favorite stories. I try to imagine what it must have been like for the apostles to experience a little foretaste of Heaven. I arrived a little early to find the people in the church praying the rosary. After I chose a seat, I joined in the prayers. The gentleman leading the rosary had a beautiful voice, like a radio announcer or documentary speaker. After Mass, I just happened to walk out with him. I told him that he had a great voice. He said that he was away from the church for too long. He remembered praying the rosary with his grandmother and that is what brought him back to the church. Now he gives the rosary back in prayer as often as possible. I thanked him for sharing his story and for helping us all to have a prayerful experience.

I Found God today in a man’s faith story.
