Interior Conversion of Heart Summary
The blessing of an interior conversion of heart is for those deserving a significant correction from God. Here I am, publicly writing about it. God knew I would feel obligated to praise Him, revealed through David in Psalm 51:13[15]-15[17], KJV, [NAB-RE], Bible Gateway, KJV. My experience may enhance an understanding of worthiness, unworthiness more so, and God’s patients awaiting the product of hard work, sincerity, and humility in belief.
An interior conversion of the heart provides and requires a radical reorientation of life, including lifelong self-imposed safeguards of introspection and prayer avoiding reversion (through free will, always available). For perhaps some fortunate to receive this blessing, it seems it may also require hard work. Please see the “Read More” link below for more on my experience.

Cherish and reflect on moments providing the sense of an experience with God, whether involving prayers or any correction, including dreams. If they occur, remember not to be lax about such precious moments. If you can, make the very most of them. I know it seems strange, an obvious statement as this. A nun’s article about it is oh so correct. For Real, when they occur, We Do Not Realize How Rare The Moments Are (oh no, you are not in shock, but so relaxed and comfortable!)!

The Top Page Apostle Saint Peter Image
The top website page portrait image of the Apostle Saint Peter may be considered a form of interior conversion of the heart. See, e.g., Catechism of the Catholic Church, Par. 1429, and cf. with Par. 1430-1433, and St. Paul on Conversion, Jesus Christ Our Savior.net.
For the spiritual background of the portrait, please see Paragraph 1429, id., of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Deeply humbled through repentance is observed in the image.
Also, consider the importance of humility within prayers in the footnote below.
Apostle Saint Peter Image Footnote
The top page Apostle Saint Peter portrait image no doubt represents his threefold denial finding it hard to believe what the Lord Jesus foretold him, denying any association with the Lord during the time leading to the crucifixion. We should assume that it outright shattered him but rock-solid enough to rebound. A salutary lesson on humility is in the portrait and its background. Before God, for example, within our prayers, all should accept that we do not fully know ourselves, contrary to worldly expectations. The World and you will hold yourself to the common cliché, “you are the person you say you are.”
From St. Peter’s experience(s), the Lord does not expect what the World does. I believe He only desires respect for the cliché within prayer, perhaps for pause, and when appropriate, extended consideration. Again, we do not fully know ourselves. Always have a humble openness of heart to corrections reasonably perceived, avoiding delay in following up on a sensed need for attention. On this critical matter of humility within prayer, please see Paragraph 2559 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
