The following report comes to us from a Basic Evangelization Training attendee in Garden Grove, CA:
We came across a couple at The Orange Circle that had just gotten married. They were out taking pictures with their photographer and just on Cloud Nine celebrating. I had one Miraculous Medal left along with the prayer card and gave it to the bride. She was Catholic but probably not practicing, but it didn’t sound like the husband was Catholic. Then I asked them if they wanted the prayer, and they said yes. So we prayed and I just said this was a good opportunity/time for them to get back to church and that it was a reminder to keep God at the center of their marriage. All in all, it was a really positive experience. Interestingly, the photographer was the most moved of all…she was crying during the whole thing!
Praised be Jesus Christ!
