00:00What if the person who doubted God the most became one of his most devoted servants?
00:06Meet Alphonse Rattisbon, a Jewish banker from France who was deeply skeptical of Catholicism.
00:13In 1842, while visiting Rome, he reluctantly agreed to wear a miraculous medal given to him by a Catholic friend.
00:21Then something extraordinary happened.
00:24While visiting the church of Sant'Andrea dell'Efrate, Rattisbon reportedly experienced a vision of the Virgin Mary.
00:32In that moment, the man who had once rejected Christianity was overcome by a profound religious experience.
00:39He later described seeing the Blessed Virgin Mary, an encounter that completely transformed his life.
00:46Soon afterward, he converted to Catholicism, received baptism, and eventually became a Catholic priest.
00:52But his story didn't end there.
00:55He dedicated his life to serving God and helping others discover the Christian faith.
01:00The skeptic had become a believer.
01:03The opponent had become a servant.
01:05It's true.
