Summary
SummaryβIβm Robert Zaar, and for years I carried a gnawing emptiness and an addiction to pornography and destructive habits π. Growing up in a devout Catholic family in Melbourne, I excelled in school and university, but nothing filled the void inside me. One day, a friend told me about Jesus. I felt like a small child cornered in darkness when I surrendered to GodβI literally fell into nothingness and wept as I sensed Him at work in my heart π’π. Returning home, I opened my old Bible and read passages about the treasure in a field and parables of the kingdom. In that moment, joy flooded meβtrue freedom from sin and shame! ππ As I followed Jesus, I found kindred spirits at Melbourne University and helped form a Catholic fellowship that led me to join the Missionaries of Godβs Love. I poured myself into prayer, even battling temptation by praying seven rosaries one night until I felt victorious over sin ππΉ. Although I initially believed God was calling me to the priesthood, burnout led me back to Melbourne, where I discovered my true calling was marriage. Under moonlight in a spot overlooking the bay, I asked Julie to marry meβand she said yes! π We dedicated our lives to God, traveled through Israel by bicycle, and soon welcomed our son, Ignatius. Yet I fell into a computerβgame addiction, so I retrained as a teacher to serve God through education. I founded the Mayo Mission Action Youth Organization, empowering students to use their talents for Christ. When my brother battled cancer, I walked with him through prayer, rosary, and deliveranceβwatching Godβs mercy bring him back into the faith, even through exorcism πβ¨. A year later, during his final days, we witnessed divine signs: the timing of his death in the β3:00 hour,β friends encountering God at his funeral, and the intercession of the children of Fatima πποΈ. Now, I teach at a Catholic college, run youth retreats, and live knowing that no mistake can separate me from Godβs loveβa love that reroutes me home every time I stray πβ€οΈ. That is the power of surrender.β
Grappling with a profound sense of emptiness and a longing for purpose, a pervasive sense of lacking gnawed at the very core of his being. Despite his efforts, Robert Zaar couldn’t shake off the inner void or the burden of sin. Yet amidst the darkness, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of a friend who shared the transformative message about a Saviour, leading him towards a journey of finding meaning, fulfillment, and wholeness.
