The following is a continuation of yesterday’s story and comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
A passing woman, though declining a Rosary, said the sight of the Rosaries reminded her of her father and she thanked us for that. Pray that she follows her dad’s faithful ways.
A young-adult Catholic man came to the table and chose the bright-blue Rosary that I was holding. It was in the school colors associated with a local Newman center, where our visitor attends Mass. May God draw him to prayer and keep him Faithful.
Three young-adult men were zooming around the plaza on electric rental scooters and took no notice of our offer of a Rosary. Finally, one of them grabbed a Rosary in passing. He must have shown it to his friends, because one of them came to the table wanting to ask questions about Catholicism. As we talked, the other two joined us. Visiting from out of state, they attend a non-Catholic Christian church with roots in another country, but were seriously considering converting to a different national church or to the Catholic Church. They had lots of questions about the Rosary, Church authority, denominationalism, and what the Catholic Church thought of Protestants. We gave them a Catechism as a reliable reference. The spirited conversation took us well past our regular stopping time. Please pray for these young men, thanking God for their dedication to Christ and for the Holy Spirit’s guidance that they may find their way home to the Catholic Church.
Before that conversation was over, James, one of our other evangelists, came walking up to the table to bring us some more Rosaries. He stayed for the rest of the session. We hope to be seeing him again regularly as he stays in town to finish settling his mother’s estate.
Altogether, the three evangelists gave away 30-35 Rosaries and its pamphlet, a Good News/kerygma pamphlet, a Confession pamphlet, a Divine Mercy prayer card, a pamphlet on the Eucharist, a copy of the Catechism, and a map of area parishes.
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.
God continues to bless this work! 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!
