What drew you to catholisism

If you became Catholic later in life, rather than through your parents religious guidance, what was it that felt right about the Catholic Church for you and where did you start?

I was brought up in a denomination that is fairly unusual and there is no church of this denomination anywhere near me. I have not been to church in a very long time, but am feeling the need to seek something. There are aspects that attract me to the Catholic Church (e.g. the rituals, the worship of Mary as the mother of God, the Saints), but there is also plenty that puts me off and I have no idea where to start. I am interested how you found your way in and what did it.

I like this quote from G.K.Chesterton who was a convert to Catholicism
"It is impossible to be just to the Catholic Church. The moment men cease to pull against it, they feel a tug toward it. The moment they cease to shout it down, they begin to listen to it with pleasure. The moment they try to be fair to it, they begin to be fond of it". (Chesterton, Why I am a Catholic).

for those that ask
www.sacredspace.ie/daily-prayer
i read the daily reading each day.
focus on both the bible quote and the hints on how to apply that in my daily life and work life. how to be kind and supportive.
occasionally when needed i'll google further as to what the quote means and when i have time i will listen to the mass online.
