He was a deeply committed evangelical Protestant familiar with the Bible, and he knew I was a Catholic. I was a little apprehensive because I thought that he was going to ask me why I believed in those<br>particularly Catholic beliefs such as the pope, Mary, the saints, sacraments, etc. and I didn\u2019t have a good biblical answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the two weeks before the lunch, I actively searched the internet and discovered to my amazement the writings of Scott Hahn, a staunchly anti-Catholic evangelical Protestant pastor and biblical scholar who, after a considerable period of intense study of the early Church Fathers and Scripture, converted to Catholicism. I stayed up late each night eagerly reading Hahn\u2019s writings and learned, to my relief, that what the Catholic Church teaches is deeply rooted in Scripture. One example is that the closest possible personal relationship we can have with Jesus is to become spiritually and physically united with him in His flesh, the Eucharist (John 6:52-57)\u2014the \u201cmost profound mystery\u201d (Ephesians 5:32)\u2014in the liturgical community of the Church where the new covenant of Jesus\u2019 blood (Luke 22:20) makes Christ\u2019s sacrifice on the cross and his resurrected body truly sacramentally present at Mass, a covenantal fulfillment alluded to in many books of the Old and New Testaments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archbalt.org\/vocations\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/father-jim-bors-2-1024x400.jpg\" alt=\"Father Jim Bors\" class=\"wp-image-347\" width=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archbalt.org\/vocations\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/father-jim-bors-2-1024x400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archbalt.org\/vocations\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/father-jim-bors-2-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archbalt.org\/vocations\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/father-jim-bors-2-768x300.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archbalt.org\/vocations\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/father-jim-bors-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This \u201copening of the Scripture\u201d\u2014like Jesus did for the disciples on the road to Emmaus\u2014was life-changing for me. It began a 24-year fascinating journey (which continues today) of discovery of Catholic teaching preserved in Scripture and Tradition by the Church for 2000<br>years. It was life-changing for Paul too: as I shared with him what I was learning, he undertook several years of concentrated study of the early Church and Scripture and converted to Catholicism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lord worked mightily through Paul in a way that neither he nor I could have imagined. And it all started with an invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I never cease to be amazed at the great grace and love God pours into our hearts (Rom 5:5) when we, like Paul, participate in the Holy Spirit\u2019s work of conversion by reaching out to others and inviting them to encounter Christ. Personal invitations\u2014such as inviting someone to join you at Mass or Eucharistic Adoration or a parish event or ministry you\u2019re enthusiastic about, or to a meal to mutually share your faith\u2014stretch us, keep us on our knees pleading for God\u2019s grace, and bear much fruit because it\u2019s the Holy Spirit who\u2019s at work in us as His instruments. I\u2019ve experienced this hundreds of times talking with fellow travelers on the airplane, some of which resulted in conversions to Christ and others who decided to return to practicing their Catholic faith. Jesus sent his disciples \u201cto every town and place where he himself intended to go\u201d (Luke 10:1), and calls us to do the same: to prepare the hearts and minds of those we know so that Jesus can enter their lives (Rev 3:20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we do this\u2014when we go \u201cout on a limb\u201d like Zacchaeus\u2014and invite others directly or indirectly to encounter Christ, the Holy Spirit moves hearts. I\u2019m reminded of the \u201c3 in 1\u201d initiatives that I\u2019ve introduced in three parishes where hundreds of parishioners signed up to the challenge of praying and personally inviting \u201c3 people in 1 year\u201d to parish events, Mass, etc. which resulted in family members returning to the Church for Mass and the sacraments, friends coming to Bible studies or faith sharing groups, and in some cases conversions to Catholicism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul Carswell\u2019s personal invitation changed my life, or, rather, the Holy Spirit changed my life through Paul Carswell. Jesus is ready and waiting to send you and me to those he himself intends to visit, which is every person He has brought into your life and mine. Do we pray to hear His invitation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Father Jim Bors graduated from Mount Saint Mary\u2019s Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD in May 2022 and was ordained a priest of Jesus Christ on June 18, 2022 at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore.
