Impressed by their courage, I began to think

My name is Jean-Pierre, I am married, the father of three, and grandfather of three. I was baptized and confirmed. As a teenager, I stopped believing in God.

On February 15, 2015, a video showing the execution of 21 Coptic Christians by Islamists appeared on the Internet. Impressed by their courage, I began to reflect on my relationship with God! ... I felt I had to make a choice: whether to believe in Jesus or not. For three or four months questions kept racing through my mind.

Then I started praying. I've done a lot of research on the Internet, reading people’s testimonies … to find out what they had to say about Jesus.

This is how I discovered that the Blessed Virgin Mary had appeared at Laus "for the conversion of sinners." I told my wife that we should go visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Laus, a village where the Virgin appeared to a girl called Benedicta Rencurel, between 1664 and 1718. On June 25, 2015, I reconciled with the Lord, by going to confession. I’m sure it happened thanks to the Blessed Virgin, who had told Benedicta: "I asked my Son for this place to convert sinners and He granted it to me."
