Summary

SummaryI’m Smita Antony from Maharashtra, India. Growing up in a Hindu Air Force family, I always felt there must be one true Godβ€”yet none of the explanations I heard satisfied me. When I moved to Mumbai and lived with a devout Catholic widow, stepping into the church felt like coming home 🌿. Each Mass prayer and hymn spoke directly to my heart, and reading Scripture ignited a hunger I’d never known πŸ“–. After months of Masses, youth gatherings, and finally an RCIA retreat near Kalyan where I experienced God’s forgiveness and healing, I faced a choice: straddle two faiths or fully follow Christ. With tears and prayer, I chose Jesus as my Lord, wrote to my parents, and prepared for baptism. Though my father feared for our family’s reputation, God impressed upon me the call to honor my parents and my new faith simultaneously. On the day of my baptismβ€”surrounded by my new spiritual family and my amazed fatherβ€”I pledged to live a life worthy of the One who died for me πŸ™β€οΈ.


Smita Antony, born in a Hindu family, always searched for the true God. She found her true God in Jesus and embraced Christianity, which helped her find true freedom. Smita shares her journey of accepting Jesus as her Savior and embracing the love of God the Father. She also talks about how the Lord spoke to her through the liturgy of the Mass and the joy she felt when receiving baptism after waiting for it with such longing in her heart.
