There is a story of St Vincent DePaul and his conversion. It goes as follows:

St Vincent DePaul came from humble circumstances. As a young Priest he affiliated with the elites in his Parish. One day he glanced down the road and saw his Father coming to visit him, dusty and dirty from a long journey. St Vincent ran to the rectory and told the porter to tell a man who would knock at his door shortly to go away and that St Vincent did not know him. St Vincent's Father did arrive and asked for his son. The Porter said dutifully, "Go away, he does not know you". St Vincent's Father left dejected. St Vincent celebrated Mass a short time later. As he elevated the Host, he heard the words, "I do not know you". These words changed his life.

In St.Vincent's case,God chose a well regarded member of the clergy.Sometimes,God chooses those that have been looked down or marginilised,such as in my case;Acts 10:34
