The following story comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
A 30ish male on scooter responded, “I don’t believe in that [expletive]” as he zoomed by. Then, in response to our prayer for God to bless him, he made an obscene gesture. Lord, grant that his heart of stone becomes one of flesh, and that he fall in love with the loving God Who made him.
For at least the second time that session, a 20ish woman passed the table and politely declined our offer of a Rosary. But she later came back saying she had changed her mind. When asked why the change of heart, she replied that she had not been able to find her Rosary for a couple of weeks and decided this was a good time to get another one. Pray that her prayers draw her into an ever deepening relationship with our Lord and Savior.
When we had just five minutes left before closing time, a large 30ish man paused briefly to say, “I’ll get one on my way back out”. Then he hurried into the convention before we could warn him that we might not be there. However, he did return just as we were putting the last few Rosaries away. He told us that he’s Catholic and goes to Chuck’s parish. He gladly accepted the pamphlet with the Rosary and shook our hands. May God bless the man and keep him trustworthy.
Altogether, we gave away 25-30 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it.
Please pray for us again today? Ask God to send people to us with hearts prepared to perceive their need for Our Savior Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church, and that much good fruit for His Kingdom comes of today’s efforts.
We have hope that the positive responses to the Rosary from even seemingly hardened hearts means there’s hope for their salvation. So, thank you again for your prayers and other support for this apostolate. In turn, may God protect and greatly bless you and all those you love!
