The following story comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:

The Lord speaks to the heart. So, thank you and for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.

A woman visiting from out of state, carrying a wind-wrecked umbrella, and her adult son responded tentatively to our offer of a free Rosary. She approached the table slowly while the son stood to the side. She was raised Catholic, but remembered nothing about the Rosary prayer. She couldn’t seem to get over that we were giving her a nice chain Rosary. She took a step away from the table as she looked in awe at the Rosary. Then she said she had been feeling a call back to faith and maybe this was the answer. We agreed it was a wonderful first step back to Christ and his Church. But she took another step back, her voice cracking with emotion, and said she had done bad things and was totally unworthy. We assured her that not one person on earth was worthy of God or deserving of his forgiveness but the fact that she was being called by God showed her His great love for her and His desire to forgive her. She was overcome by emotion while the son picked out a Rosary. We encouraged them to ask questions and express their doubts and worries while they prayed the Rosary. Pray that she answers the Father’s call, that she learns to trust His Son, and that she is comforted by the Holy Spirit.

Praised be Jesus Christ!
