Gwen Stefani’s Catholic Faith
Gwen Stefani is unapologetically Catholic.
The Grammy-award winning musician says suffering brought her back to Catholicism after falling away from the Church.
In a recent video for the Hallow App, Stefani explains that she never went away to college. She stayed at home until she was 26 years old. This provided her with the opportunity to remain faithful to her church-going routine.
She said that once her music career began, she fell out of those habits and away from the Catholic faith. However, she said illness eventually brought her to her knees.
“I fell away from my faith. And then came a time in my life where I felt like I was losing everything,” she says in the Hallow App video.
“My emotional and my mental stress from my situation quickly turned into pain, like a physical illness; chronic pain that prevented me from doing daily ordinary things, and I was so scared.”
She adds that during this time, she felt God call her back. She begged him to use her for his glory and turned back to a daily prayer routine.
“Feeling so desperate, I got on my knees, I asked God, ‘Please, please get me well. Please. Use my gift of music again. Please let me be the person I used to be,’” she explains.
“I began returning to daily prayer, trusting that God had a purpose for me, knowing that I needed to serve God.”
Stefani concluded, saying that God has since blessed her in many ways.
“A lot of amazing changes in my life have happened since then, and my faith has carried me through it all.”
