What a beautiful, sunny day on March 16^th for the St Patrick Day Parade. Donna and I arrived about 2 hours ahead of the parade to set up on the busy street with plenty of green rosaries. It was an honor to be about sharing the Gospel with St Patrick’s overwhelming presence. People were busy walking to places and with people so the length of conversations were limited. Knowing that the Catholic Church was present to the community made an impact for the spiritual economy of God.

Tyler, who took a free rosary, asked for information about the Catholic Church. He attends a Bible church in MT and did not know about the Eucharist. Pointing out the Scriptures John 6 & Luke 22, I shared with him the gift of Jesus Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity present in every Catholic Church. He was interested in this as his church did celebrate communion but only as a symbol. He took the pamphlet of the Eucharist as well as Why be Catholic.

Next, we talked with Brandon who received a free rosary. When asked if he would like to receive prayer, he said yes, he would like God to give him discernment on his future. It was an honor to pray for God to open Tyler’s heart to know and trust God for each day of his life. As a believer, he did not know much about the Catholic Church and willingly received pamphlets and prayer cards. We gave him an invitation to any of the local churches.

A family stopped while the mother received prayer for God to bring healing into her body, soul and spirit, for God to comfort them during the times of suffering for their whole family, 2 teen daughters and dad. They received rosaries, Immaculate medal, pamphlets and prayer cards.

Two teen girls said no and then came back asking for rosaries. We had a good conversation about Jesus, John 3:16, and how much God loves them. They received many items and we referred them to the Spokane Cathedral close to where they live.

We met up with a young man who is new to the area and has interest in SPSE. We plan to connect up to further his involvement in this ministry.

It was a blessed day and we are so thankful to have gotten out to be present to people for God!
