While evangelizing during a street fair in a town about 20 miles from my home parish a young woman approached our table. She was accompanied by an older woman who I initially assumed was her mother.  She said she was a catholic but not active, her fiancé was standing off behind her.  I asked if he was a Catholic as well. She said no.  She said she had a question about the Eucharist.  She had read Martin Luther and was trying to understand the Real Presence.  After I finished explaining, she commented that she had asked many people and finally understood.  I offered for her to come to our Faith Study, and to bring her fiancé. At that point the older woman who turned to be her future mother-in-law blurted out.  " My grandson just got baptized"   To which I responded " That is wonderful, where was he baptized"  ( Not caring really where but jumping off the acceptance of faith)  She said  "Oh some Church in Bloomsburg"  That is where I am from and we have at least 6 Christian denominations in our community. " Oh  I said I'm from there.... ( now the HS moment .... I have no idea why I added this) .....What is your grandson's name?"

She blurts out his name... Praise be Jesus... He was a catechumen I catechized!!!!    The younger woman Wow you don't know how much that has changed his life... He is totally changed.... where do I sign up for your class?"

There was another man with us not from our area... He remarked after they left ..."that was amazing... I could feel the Holy Spirit working..."

Small world yes, likely encounter possibly, easy to brush off as dumb luck.... Hardly!
