(0:00 - 1:36)
Introducing our friend Gloriane
(1:36 - 3:11)
A glimpse into Gloriane’s growing up years in a Protestant household, where a great love for God and Scriptures was instilled.
(3:11 - 6:03)
Gloriane shares about her first encounter with Catholics, which led to her questioning and finding out more about the Catholic faith, especially the role of Mary in the faith. This was the seed planted for her journey towards the Catholic faith.
(6:03 - 8:32)
Gloriane talks about the role of the Saints in the Catholic faith, where she first expounded on the Protestant’s point of view and then subsequently the truth about the concept of Saints.
(8:32 - 11:23)
Gloriane continues to talk about her various encounters with Catholics - from her Catholic schoolmates who were exasperated by her inquisitiveness to her biology teacher who inspired her.
(11:23 - 16:24)
Gloriane details how she decided to convert to the Catholic faith, which was propelled by her finding out the discrepancy in the Protestant vs. Catholic canon of Scriptures. She later discovered the Catholicity of the writings of the Early Church Fathers, which led her to want to find out more about the Catholic faith. After going through an apologetics document containing the answers to the questions she had, she was drawn more deeply into the faith.
(16:25 - 20:20)
Gloriane continues on how the apologetics document helped to reveal the validity of a devotion to Mary, something which scandalised her at first.
(20:20 - 22:06)
Gloriane’s devotion to Mary is framed by her praying the Rosary regularly after understanding the genesis of the Hail Marys. Her devotion is also characterised by her abandonment to the will of God and her active participation in the Legion of Mary.
(22:07 - 22:54)
How the Catholic faith enriched her spiritual life through the Eucharist.
(22:54 - 24:41)
Gloriane’s recommendation to those who struggle with devotion to Mary.
(24:41 - 28:42)
Gloriane talks about her discovery of Gregorian Chants and subsequent discovery of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. She explains how this form of the Mass helped her gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of worship.
(28:42 - 30:02)
Ending prayer - Memorare.
