Donatus. I pray. And what I see and hear.
"Donatus." In a particularly vivid dream, I heard them refer to me as "Donatus" while discussing an ongoing process of neo-conversion. The gentleness with which they pronounced that name led me to adopt it as my pseudonym, with deep love and respect for those who, from on High, were addressing me.
My remaining anonymous has a clear purpose: I am not important. I am simply a messenger. Someone who shares these messages so that anyone who wishes can read them, understand them, and discern them. And, with the help of the Holy Spirit, strengthen their faith.
I am Catholic, married to a wonderful woman, and the father of three children who are my daily inspiration. I am over 45 and have lived a full life, as my character clearly reflects—according to those who know me. For most of my life, I have been very aware of Jesus's presence, except for a period when I strayed far enough to stop recognizing Him. That journey through the desert lasted almost ten years, and without it, I wouldn't be here today, because God willed it so. During that time, I understood the pain of living far from Him and the deception of believing one can stand on one's own two feet, when in reality, without Him, nothing is possible.
The losses I have suffered—especially the loss of my sister two years ago—have led me to return to Him with renewed strength. I have come to understand more deeply that it is through Christ that we reach Heaven, just as He taught us more than two thousand years ago. To Him I also owe this gift that I believe I have received: the ability to receive certain messages that come from above, which I now share here. For me, the existence not only of Jesus, but of all heavenly reality, is beyond question.
