I am a supernumerary faithful of the Prelacy (I hope the English expression is accurate, I am Italian) for more than 20 years.

How is it? Your question is a bit vague, I can say that I know this is my way, chosen by God, to go to Him.

I like this "place", I realized in all these years it's a real family. I feel good in this family, because it's mine, I mean... anywhere God puts us, in time we find it's great, don't we?

I have personally experienced that this is a "spot" where freedom - in what is not Church's doctrine - is deep, and for my rather unconformist character this is priceless.

How did I know I should have joined? I frequented Opus Dei's formation means in my university years, after a few years I was deeply convinced it could be my way and... "they" didn't say me no.

All the best

Aurelio
