Evangelization Starts at Home
Good day!
When beginning my walk in starting this team and building up supplies, I knew my first real stop on the journey would be with wife and my children.
Upon receiving our starter package of Rosaries, Miraculous medals and pamphlets with the help of my kiddos we began to assemble the medals on chains and laying out to see the rosaries. In doing this I had a great opportunity to share the meaning with my kids, and to use the time to have my family pray over every single one item personally. This sparked many questions and many answers on Jesus, His saving grace, the cross and many more topics. Overall, I can say that even with our daily prayers our Evangelization can’t stop at our front doors, we must continue to share the beauty and Joy of Gods salvation with our families. This leads me into my next outing per se.
I am a convert to the Church and still new to the faith. After being received into the faith and being married on the church just in 2018. When looking back literally, the pews on my side were very empty. My family was not Catholic and had Deep Southern Baptist reservations to this particular discipline of Christianity. This to say again, evangelization starts at home and my first stop after praying over these medals and rosaries with my kids was a family “Thanksmas” that I will never forget. Without sharing to much of my family’s personal life, they are all non-Catholic either practicing or not, but they were all very receptive to the Medal of our mother and some even more were interested in the Rosary. I was shocked to say the least, however I didn’t allow this to stop me from sharing the beauty of my faith with them. And even though I know that they may never become Catholic in name, that day I learned that people are receptive to Love and that I will continue to share the light with them. May we never forget that our family’s needs Christ too.
Was it not Andrew who brought his brother Peter to Jesus? Let’s be like Andrew today!
May God bless and keep us always, Amen

I gave out all I had to give and now must restock from the store, but I am not even mad!
