The Road Once Travelled

Description

According to the 2006 census, in Australia over 5 million people identify themselves as Catholic. That's roughly 1 in 4 people. Yet only about 14% of those 5 million Catholics go to church regularly, compared to around 60% a generation ago.  The statistics are indisputable: millions of Catholics, whilst still calling themselves Catholics, have a crisis of faith. According to research done by the Catholic Church they are feeling confused, bored, dissatisfied, disenchanted, frustrated, and guilty.  Mark Gilbert was one of them. The road he was travelling as a Catholic—a road that began from the moment he was born—didn't seem to be taking him where he wanted to go. But God intervened, and showed Mark that the answer was not far away from him all the time. And when he gave up his own journey, and put his trust in the journey that the Lord Jesus Christ had already taken on his behalf, Mark's life changed completely for the better.
