When I Was In My Early 20s I Converted To Catholicism After A Long Period Of Searching. What I Think Drew Me To The Catholic Church Is That In Catholicism, Prayer Suffuses All Of One's Life By Virtue Of The Sacraments. Prayer Is Not Something Which Occurs Just On Sunday, It Doesn't Occur Only At Particular Moments Of Intensity Or By Particular Conventions, One's Whole Life Is Given Up To Prayer In Many, Many Modes.

I Think What Happens In A Religious Life Is That We Have Those Experiences Of Affirmation And That One Starts To Live A Christian Life Or A Jewish Life Or A Muslim Life Or A Buddhist Life, By Affirming That Affirmation Each Day. Each Day You Say 'yes' To That Yes. So The Life Of Being A Christian For Example, Is Always A Life Of Double Affirmation, That You Each Day Say 'yes' To Those Counter-experiences Of Saying 'yes', Even When You're Not Experiencing Them At That Time, You're Remaining Loyal To That Experience.

But At The Same Time It's Extremely Simple. One Of The Things Which Perpetually Amazes Me Is That At Any Moment Or Any Day, Anyone Who Is Alive Can Talk With The Creator Of The Cosmos.
