"From
the time that I became a Catholic, of course I have no further history
of my religious opinions to narrate. In saying this, I do not mean to
say that my mind has been idle, or that I have given up thinking on
theological subjects; but that I have had no variations to record, and
have had no anxiety of heart whatever. I have been in perfect peace and
contentment; I never have had one doubt. Iwas not conscious to myself, on my conversion, of any change,
intellectual or moral, wrought in my mind. I was not conscious of firmer
faith in the fundamental truths of Revelation, or of more self-command;
I had not more fervour; but it was like coming into port after a rough
sea; and my happiness on that score remains to this day without
interruption". Bl. John Henry Newman. (Photo: Marcin Mazur)
