I was a pagan and in 2013, I became a protestant fast forward 2017 my brother got married and became a Catholic I talked to my sister in law about the Catholic faith and didn't agree with her on some things, but what really converted me was experiencing jesus in the eucharist through my charism My brother and sister still live with my parents and me, so every week, they would go to church and receive communion. I would feel the presence of God with them, like in them and around them every week one day i decided to go to church with my sister and brother, bamm I felt the presence of God and mary in the Catholic Church in the most fulfilled way i felt them hugging me and welcoming me and I felt that they were so delighted that I made it despite the struggles They were so proud of me because it was not easy Fast forward 6 months later I took rcia and became Catholic and everything that my sister told me about the faith bore fruits and my life has never been more fulfilling and happy because of jesus and his church I never felt fulfilled as a protestant and pagan I always felt unhappy My gift was discernment of spirits Yes, I had it verified by a priest spiritual director after I became Catholic This is why I believe in the eucharist When I ate the eucharist I experience the perfect love and perfect presence of God around me and in me That's when I knew that it was real

Unblessed Communion wafers taste good, that is an accident. Blessed wafers are the body of Christ. I'm glad they still taste good tho.
