When I was born, my parents didn’t baptize me—they were atheists at that time...
Once I ran into a group of Protestants, and they said to me, “If you want to believe in the Lord, pray, and perhaps the Lord will show Himself to you, that He exists.”
I remember how till about age six I used to pray with my mother, grandmother, and my grandmother’s sister: “O my Guardian Angel, keep my little soul, so that it would always be good and always love the Lord God. Keep my soul and body, O Angel, my Guardian.” My suffering after my parents’ divorce forced me to think: was there a God, or is He only something from fairy tales? ..
