Road to the Priesthood, part I
February 26, 2012 by OneBillionStories.com
Filed under Archive, Discernment, Testimonies
Even though ‘Irish Steve’ has returned home from the Emerald Isle, we continue to publish Catholic stories from that great nation of Catholic heritage. With the help of God’s grace, remarkable testimonies from an hard hit culture of Catholics, continue to appear for the mission.
Today’s Story
Kind of like ESPN, someday this mission will be able to publish a 10-part DVD collection titled, ‘The Classics: Reversions to the Catholic Faith.’ Why? Because at least once a week we are hearing people share from the very depths of their being their wayward lives of the past, which ends up unfulfilling at the core of their souls, and back into a journey home to Catholicism. What an honor it is to hear part I to this man’s story from Ireland today, a true witness to the hope that rests within all Catholics around the world who have that unique encounter with the power of the Eucharist. Moving forward, may we all be able to experience that healing redemption that can only be found in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Therefore, we bring you another installment today from Ireland’s return home to Rome, where the heart of the Irish people truly belong. Perhaps you are in Ireland reading these words right now, wondering what you can do to be God’s hand and feet in the world. After listening to the story above, our team invites you to reflect upon whom in your life could use an invitation during these 40 days of Lent to return home to their Catholic faith.

Knocking on Heaven’s Door, from Ireland
February 14, 2012 by OneBillionStories.com
Filed under Archive, Families, Testimonies
This journey we human beings find ourselves on can have some difficult turns in this world. So often, perhaps everyday, we get wrapped up in the hum-drum happenings of life, and forget about, well, the end of the walk on earth.
Today’s Story
Even though this is a very serious story, the storytellers are able to have a light-hearted discussion about being on death’s doorstep, why is that? Our team believes it is because they know they are in a good spot with God. No one likes to talk about death. Why do you think many people are so afraid of the topic? We hope that this very clear and beautiful testimony of faith in God’s plan, even at the last breathes of this life, will give all who listen to it hope in the next life awaiting us all, if we say yes. Thanks to our Catholic faith, the ‘one billion Catholics’ have the chance to knock on heaven’s door. Perhaps you have a family member who could benefit from listening to this story? If so, grab the link above and e-mail it to them. We bet you will not regret it!
Irish Steve continues to impact the ‘digital continent.’ The plan of life in the eyes of God may have bumps and valleys to overcome, (Steve’s knows this) but let us all remain close to his plan so that we might have peace at our own heaven’s doorstep. When that moment will come, nobody knows, but we can remain ready through fidelity to the Sacraments. Thanks for sharing from the Emerald Isle!

Mystical Body in Ireland Adopts Priests
January 2, 2012 by OneBillionStories.com
Filed under Archive, Mary
Does prayer work? Why do Catholics pray to someone we cannot see? Share your thoughts below after playing today’s story from Ireland. Perhaps you’ve struggled in prayer, perhaps you need an intention for your prayer life in 2012. We offer you this story from Armagh, Ireland, to help remedy that spiritual hurdle which all Catholics face at one step or another in their journey of faith.
Today’s Story
This group of faithful parishioners at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Armagh, Ireland, has taken up the call of Jesus to integrate our prayer life with our daily life. In fact, they take the daily action of prayer one step further through the unity of the global mystical body by praying for Catholic Priests daily by name. These four church goers spiritually adopt priests from around the world in a prayer-centered support group that manifests itself through praying the Rosary and a special prayer daily for Priests everyday. What a great initiative from the Emerald Isle. With such an ardent attack against Catholicism these days, it is the Priests that often take most of the flack. Perhaps it is time that all Catholics learn from these parishioners’ example of combatting these 21st century attacks on our Priests through prayer.
Who do you want our team to pray for? What parish are you ready for us to raise up to God through the Rosary? Share your thoughts and ideas below in the comment section and our team will be sure to pray for your intentions. In addition, this June 2012, is the annual day of prayer for Priests.

A Journey from the Head to the Heart, part I
December 27, 2011 by OneBillionStories.com
Filed under Archive, Catholics Come Home, Testimonies
The interior versus exterior questions of life, the infamous journey from the head to the heart, one of the longest journeys one will ever take according to Mother Teresa. Trying to overcome the spiritual rut that many Catholics will encounter along the path of their personal journey, or story if you will, rests at the center fold of this gentleman’s testimony from Ireland. When broken, where does he turn? The better question, where will we turn?
Today’s Story
Eventually, depression crept in to this man’s life, making that journey from the head to the heart an arduous task; not to mention an encounter with a family member’s bout with cancer. For years, his remedy was alcohol, even when he was a young teenager, and eventual resident in America for three years. The willingness of this man to open up the darker secrets of his story is a rare encounter this day in age. Many people are afraid to reveal the sins of one’s past. Not this man, not even close, he opens up the inner workings of his soul for every viewer’s spiritual and human benefit.
If you know of some inner wisdom to share with fellow Catholics of the world on the topic of alcoholism, our team invites you to share them below in the comment section. Lastly, Pope Benedict has a lot going on in his leadership of the 1.2 billion member family, click on the Vatican logo to the left to watch his day’s activities.

Integrating Faith & Business
December 26, 2011 by OneBillionStories.com
Filed under Archive, Testimonies
When given a chance, one’s faith may flourish, even in the arena of business. What an interesting vocation one has found when they engage in business. Many important macro and micro decisions must be made when trying to lead a business. Real life examples may include, but are certainly not limited to, finance, personnel, marketing, and perhaps the most important, leadership or vision. To make a business hum along smoothly, it is the daily choices of the respective leader that make or break a business’ future.
Today’s Story
In today’s story, the gentleman sharing wraps up the time with ‘Irish Steve’ by quoting Scripture, “With God, all things are possible.” How often do we hear those words out of a business man’s mouth? Especially here in America, our country has a broken government right now, and sometimes that can trickle down to business practices. Therefore, the details that comprise this man’s faith life are impressive, and if you think he makes some good points, share your thoughts below in the comment section on how your business has done in 2011, and how your hopes for it in 2012.
How does your business make decisions? Do you integrate faith and business in the 21st century? Why or why not? Share below.

A Journey from the Head to the Heart, part I
December 27, 2011 by OneBillionStories.com
Filed under Archive, Catholics Come Home, Testimonies
The interior versus exterior questions of life, the infamous journey from the head to the heart, one of the longest journeys one will ever take according to Mother Teresa. Trying to overcome the spiritual rut that many Catholics will encounter along the path of their personal journey, or story if you will, rests at the center fold of this gentleman’s testimony from Ireland. When broken, where does he turn? The better question, where will we turn?
Today’s Story
Eventually, depression crept in to this man’s life, making that journey from the head to the heart an arduous task; not to mention an encounter with a family member’s bout with cancer. For years, his remedy was alcohol, even when he was a young teenager, and eventual resident in America for three years. The willingness of this man to open up the darker secrets of his story is a rare encounter this day in age. Many people are afraid to reveal the sins of one’s past. Not this man, not even close, he opens up the inner workings of his soul for every viewer’s spiritual and human benefit.
If you know of some inner wisdom to share with fellow Catholics of the world on the topic of alcoholism, our team invites you to share them below in the comment section. Lastly, Pope Benedict has a lot going on in his leadership of the 1.2 billion member family, click on the Vatican logo to the left to watch his day’s activities.

Integrating Faith & Business
December 26, 2011 by OneBillionStories.com
Filed under Archive, Testimonies
When given a chance, one’s faith may flourish, even in the arena of business. What an interesting vocation one has found when they engage in business. Many important macro and micro decisions must be made when trying to lead a business. Real life examples may include, but are certainly not limited to, finance, personnel, marketing, and perhaps the most important, leadership or vision. To make a business hum along smoothly, it is the daily choices of the respective leader that make or break a business’ future.
Today’s Story
In today’s story, the gentleman sharing wraps up the time with ‘Irish Steve’ by quoting Scripture, “With God, all things are possible.” How often do we hear those words out of a business man’s mouth? Especially here in America, our country has a broken government right now, and sometimes that can trickle down to business practices. Therefore, the details that comprise this man’s faith life are impressive, and if you think he makes some good points, share your thoughts below in the comment section on how your business has done in 2011, and how your hopes for it in 2012.
How does your business make decisions? Do you integrate faith and business in the 21st century? Why or why not? Share below.
