The following is a continuation of yesterday’s story and comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
A young-adult woman stopped because she was curious about the Rosary. After hearing how the devotion draws one closer to Christ, she chose one. The slightly older woman who was standing nearby took out some money to offer us, but we politely declined. May the Lord draw the woman who chose the Rosary into a deep and blessed relationship with Jesus Christ. And may the woman who offered the donation be blessed for her generous spirit.
Someone from a large group of people read our sign out loud that proclaims “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” and pumped his fist in victory. May God bless that whole family and keep them faithful!
A boy, who was perhaps six years old, was wearing a t-shirt in a local sports team’s colors. He chose a long chain Rosary in the same colors, Even though the evangelist pointed to a shorter version made with cord, he wanted the chain one. He accepted the pamphlet on how to pray it, but the rest of his family didn’t come to the table. May the Lord grant the young man Faith and the ability to draw his family to salvation through Jesus Christ.
A large family group was passing by, after declining our offer, when the mother brought her young son back to the table. As the boy picked out a Rosary and listened to how to pray it, the mother asked the other evangelist why we were out there. So we let her know we are there every week and why we encourage people to pray and put their trust in Jesus Christ. She continued to linger, so we asked if she wanted a Rosary, too. She decided she did. Pray, Mother Mary, for this young mom, that she seeks to guide her children in the way everlasting.
All together, 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 effort.
God wills all people to be saved, so we try to maintain a welcoming atmosphere. But we depend on your prayers! 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!
