Lucia's Story
I was born in a religion preaching
that the church that Jesus Christ established turned away from God
and reemerged in the Philippines in 1914 -- The Iglesia Ni Cristo
founded by Felix Y. Manalo.

I was a very active officer of this religion and I had been
persecuting Catholics from those in my neighborhood, in the schools I
attended, in the companies I worked and even in the internet when I
started going online (around 1996). I used to flood chat channels
with anti-Catholic articles.

During the Great Jubilee Year 2000, I began to see the truth about
Catholics and the Catholic Church. I saw how this doctor-turned-nun
served the poor by peforming surgeries for free. I heard about the
Archbishop of Manila, regularly visiting the poor who live under
bridges and dumpsites. I also saw a video about Our Lady of Fatima.

"Open your hearts to the Lord and begin to see the mystery" says the
Jubilee Song.

On January 2001, I joined People Power 2 and attended my first
Catholic Mass in a thanksgiving officiated by His Eminence Jaime
Cardinal Sin, Archbishop of Manila.

On March 31, 2001, I declared my departure from the religion where I
was born.

On June 6, 2001, after reflecting on the readings on the Feast of the
Descent of The Holy Spirit, I started believing that the church Jesus
Christ established prevailed and that Jesus promised to be with us
until the end of time.

On September 2001, I completed all the neccesary sacraments for my
conversion.

Today, I am defending the church from those that persecute it. If
you have questions about the religion "Iglesia Ni Cristo," I will
gladly answer them.
