A Former Buddhist Discovers Lent – Rae-Mi LeRoy

Rae-Mi Leroy studied Buddhism in college, and was fascinated by it. She went on to work in Hollywood, and after becoming disillusioned with that world, decided to move to the Arizona desert to embark on a journey of self-discovery using Buddhist principles.

Little did she know that her journey would lead her to the doorstep of the Catholic Church; and that there were not only many saints who had gone out to the desert to pray and fast, but that this was also something that was a significant part of Jesus’ own story.
