“I began to realize how I could see Jesus in others, even if they didn’t love him.” – Maija Fish

Growing up in what she calls a “Church-positive” home, Maija Fish believed in God, but didn’t realize she could have a personal relationship with Jesus until high school. Later, in college, she heard a priest explain the Catholic understanding of the human person as created good but in need of redemption, in contrast to the Calvinist view of Total Depravity she’d always heard. It opened her eyes to the mystery of God’s grace in a whole new way.
