On Saturday, February 15, 2025, we were excited to go back to Pasadena Indoor Flea Market and evangelize.  There was the usual busyness at the flea market with many people coming and going.  Our focus was once again on the Eucharist and we were equipped to share with others the Catholic belief that Jesus is the "bread" of life.  We encounter many people who don't know this literal meaning of Jesus in the Gospel of John 6, even Catholics.  It is such a blessing to encounter a person who says that they are now "Christian" but that they used to be "Catholic".  I believe that they have a special place in the heart of Jesus because it is He who is calling them "home" through us and what better message than to tell them that he wants to "feed" them with His Sacred Body and Blood in the Eucharist.

We had three young people (Evangelists) join us this day and they brought a message of hope especially to other young people that we encounter.  It is so refreshing for me to see young people in their twenties come out in faith to share the good news of Jesus Christ to the many lost young people who have encountered harshness, hopelessness and pain.  Additionally, they were not afraid to pray for the specific needs of those they spoke with right there on the spot and I know that is so much appreciated by people needing prayer and who need to know that Jesus loves them.   I pray that through Deacon Alex and his wife, Sally, that we have many more young Evangelists join us in the months to come.
