My post over at Aleteia this week is about grunge-rocker Kurt Cobain and our smiling Cardinal Dolan of New York.<\/p>\n

Kurt Cobain, the unforgettable face of \u201990s grunge rock, stood uncomfortably onstage with his hands by his side. He was dressed in a wrinkled black T-shirt and ripped jeans. His characteristic stringy, bleached-blond hair hung in his eyes. Just then a large jovial man came onstage. I recognized the current \u201csmiling cardinal\u201d of New York City.<\/em><\/p>\n

I want to share the best comment I received:<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, thanks for this, Sister. I loved his music although I am old enough to be his mom. At the time of his death, I was in my 25th year away from the Church. After his death, I started to question a lot of things \u2014 my lifestyle, for one, and wondering why I was keeping myself away from the Church\u2026and so I returned in 1996. Eventually, my husband was baptized and our marriage convalidated in the Church. I always have credited Kurt with having a hand in my Prodigal return\u2026.Now I pray for the repose of his soul when I hear one of his songs on the radio.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t that amazing?<\/p>\n

Kurt Cobain\u2019s death led someone to come back to the Church, and now she prays for the repose of his soul.<\/p>\n

God can use anything to lead us to him.<\/p>\n
