Examples of Religious Experiences
  1. Numinous
    1. Example from the Bible: When Moses was tending to his father's flock and suddenly God began speaking to him through a burning bush, Moses had had a numinous experience.
      1. When Catharine Ward witnessed the birth of her fist grandchild.
      2. Conversion
        1. Example from the Bible: When Saul, a tax collector, was on the road to Damascas he was blinded by a bright light and God spoke to him telling him to turn his life around. He was renamed Paul and many of his letters are now read at Mass.
          1. Robert J Stowe was brought up as an atheist by his father. However when his father died in 1992 he was left with a great sense of lonliness and loss. Two years later he found the Catholic Church and found the spiritual support he had been longing for. He has been a devout Christian ever since.
          2. Prayer
            1. Example from the Bible: On the night before Jesus was to be crucified he spent hours praying to his father in the Garden of Gethsemane about the most important and difficult time of his life.
              1. Sophia Amoruso was made redundant in 204 and spent two years without a home, relying on soup kitchens and shelters but she still prayed to God everyday. Now, 10 years later she is the CEO of her own multi million dollar business and thanks God for it all.
              2. Miracles
                1. Example from the Bible: During his time, Jesus performed many miracles such as walking on water or turning water into wine. Perhaps one of the biggest was the 'Feeding of the 5 000'. At on of his sermon's Jesus asked how much food they had to feed the crowd they only had five loaves of bread and two fish but he managed to share it equally so everyone had more than they could eat and 12 baskets were needed to collect all the leftovers.
                  1. Alcides Moreno, fell 47 stories (5000ft) whilst cleaning the windows of a sky scraper in New York. His platform was plunged into the concrete pavement and sadly his brother died but Alcides miraculousy survived and woke up from a coma three weeks later.
