Atheisten und Glaubenszweifler finden Frieden und Heil im katholischen Glauben

The Evangelist Luke tells of the parable of the prodigal son in the 15th chapter. Some people in this book describe their personal experience of this event: A gangster: "Suddenly I felt as if someone was putting his hands on my shoulders and lifting me up". A suicide candidate: "I felt like the prodigal son in the Gospel". A rebel: "In the Saint James Monastery I felt like the prodigal son meeting his merciful father". A church hater: "After long wanderings, the prodigal son returned to the Catholic Church". A famous singer: "Just as in the parable the merciful Father waited for the prodigal son with outstretched arms, so too He waited for me and embraced me without condemning me". Melvin, a pagan, finds his Catholic faith on death row. Before his execution he says to his family: "Do not be afraid, I am full of joy! I will go to Jesus in heaven!" Afterwards, his pagan family asks the bishop to be instructed in the Catholic faith.
