Starting with the Apostles, through all of the Saints and those who have witnessed God and his Saints in their own lives: from St Pio or Ven Mary of Agreda to the children of Fatima to the millions who saw Our Lady of Zeitoun. Many people in my own life, and perhaps yours as well.
But like I said, that is scarcely why most Christians convert, unless they themselves come into direct contact. I think they are attracted to the message first and foremost. For me, the idea of Heaven was the last thing I came around to.
I believe in Heaven because I am a Christian; I'm not a Christian because I believe in Heaven, if that makes sense.
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
