A Letter from Jesus
The Story of a Sex Addict on the Road to Purity
Summary
Dann Aungst was pretty far gone in his sexual addiction when Jesus grabbed him (figuratively) by the lapels and sent him (literally) messengers, a letter, and a locution during Adoration. He left the road of destruction and chaos and found himself on the road to purity. He then founded his apostolate (which he called The Road to Purity) after writing his inspired, From One Addict to Another. He talks about his story and also the roots of addiction in the human heart and how he helps seminarians advise us sinners in the confessional where they speak in persona Christi.
- Dann’s Apostolate, The Road to Purity, and the gala this coming weekend, September 14, 2024.
- The Road to Purity podcast.
- Dann retells his story in great detail at the 2021 St. Thomas Aquinas Conference.
