Mary is the best person to lead us to Jesus

Are youths today being empowered by the Holy Spirit? This topic was discussed by about 100 teens and young adults who participated in the Empowered online conference organized by the Royal Ambassadors Youth (RAY) on May 29, 2020 with renowned Catholic speaker and missionary, Paul J. Kim, Texas, USA.
With his wit and humor, Paul first shared about his life and how his encounter with God transformed him and led him to his current mission. He shared how he lived a life seeking fulfillment from worldly things, only to realize that God is the only one who can fill the emptiness he experienced.

Paul explained that one of the most common misconceptions among Catholics is that we have to be perfect before we can be holy and close to God. “We don’t even have to change to go to God. We go to God and He changes us. We come to Him as we are. Jesus has extended His invitation not only to the best people but even the worst, because that’s what His mission was all about.”

Paul also emphasized his love for the Rosary and explained how Mother Mary played a big role in his transformation. “When I started to pray the Rosary more seriously, I began to feel more peace and joy than I ever had in my life. Strange things started happening such as smelling roses out of nowhere, and I knew for a fact that the Mother of Jesus was with me.” He further encouraged the participants to develop a relationship with the Blessed Virgin, for she is the best person to lead us to Jesus.
