The following is a continuation of yesterday’s story and comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
Some teens stopped for a Rosary. One of them admitted she wasn’t Christian any more, so we gave her a copy of the kerygma, as well as encouraging her to try the Rosary devotion to get to know how important Jesus is. May God ignite her Faith in Him!
A family of four stopped and each chose a Rosary. May God keep them faithful.
A woman broke away from her friend and came to the table, exclaiming how beautiful the Rosaries are. (May God bless our Rosary makers!) A Catholic, she had just been saying to her friend that she needed a Rosary (because she had recently had to get a new car after an accident??). And God answered her “by presenting a whole table full of them to choose from”! Reluctant at first, the friend also finally picked out a Rosary. Thank you Jesus for letting us be part of her God-moment!
Two women stopped who thought they knew about the Rosary, but were surprised to learn that it was a prayer (I think the one woman said her grandmother used to make them?). They seemed very enthusiastic to hear about the how and why of the Rosary prayer. The woman with a black eye asked for a second Rosary for her boyfriend, since she thought he needed to pray more, too. They then asked about the Divine Mercy cards and the Mary, Untier of Knots cards, which they both took. Pray they entrust their lives to Christ Who died for them.
A homeless woman wanted a Rosary and listened attentively to me. I shared with her the profit and promises of the prayer. The woman stowed the Rosary and pamphlet in her gear and was about to go when the “Problem of Evil and Suffering” pamphlet caught her eye and she asked for a copy. I told her about it as our visitor stood scanning through the leaflet. Pray that she perseveres in faith through her dire circumstances.
A tall guy on a bike stopped to talk, I think he had picked up a Rosary some other time but for the life of me I can’t remember what he stopped to say. But God knows, and may He bless the man!
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 coms of today’s effort.
