“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
-- Hebrews 11:1
This Lent, Fullness of Truth-Louisiana invites you to a powerfully deeper faith life by stepping into an illumination described by the Saints as God’s “Divine Darkness”. Join us at beautiful Our Lady of Fatima Church this February 19th – 20th in Lafayette, LA for “Shrouded in Light: Deepening Faith within the Luminous Darkness of God!” Hear dynamic presentations by our featured renown speakers: FR. CARLOS MARTINS (Sacred Relics Expert & Exorcist); DR. CHERYL WHITE (LSU Professor & Turin Shroud Expert); and MATTHEW LEONARD (Founder of the “Science of Sainthood”). Drawing from the insights of spiritual masters, woven together with an intriguing exploration of the Church’s sacred relic treasures, our experts will skillfully show us how science, faith, and the supernatural converge to enlighten our mind to truths our heart already “knows”.
The “Divine Darkness” of God, in short, is the mystical and fullness of the divine presence — a darkness that is paradoxically the highest form of illumination, the deepest level of “faith”. Now, Sacred Scripture says, “….faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Heb 11:1). But, even today, nearly 2000 years after His Ascension, Our Lord still allows miracles to affirm our faith!
It is no secret that the modern secular world denounces the existence of miracles, and relegates matters of “faith” to a more credulous and superstitious age before humanity fully embraced the certainty of scientific study. However, the truth is plain and simple: miracles can (and do) happen, and both science and modern medicine can prove it! And in this present age of skepticism, where the worship of “science and reason” have pervaded the culture, the existence of the supernatural phenomena needs to be confirmed now more than ever…underpinning our faith….and our speakers will be there to set the record straight.
So come, learn from the “masters”, hear the dramatic stories, and examine the evidence for yourself. This Conference will surely intensify your intimate bond with Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church. Don’t miss it!
“For then the Divine is seen in light, but now in darkness.”
— St. Gregory of Nyssa
