Rosaries attract Catholics as well as those who hunger for Faith. So, thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.

The main convention center was holding a conference on clean water. Among the many attendees, several people were wearing forest service uniforms. One of them stopped for a Rosary. She readily named her parish in the state from which she had traveled. Another participant also stopped, who said they hadn’t seen Catholics on the street like this in their home state.

Two young-adult men from a local parish stopped at our table. They didn’t need Rosaries, but we talked a bit about their pastor and his gift for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. One of them had just become the godfather of a little boy. May he remain a faithful prayer warrior for his godson!

A Catholic family stopped. The father already faithfully prays the Rosary, but his wife and 2-3 children each selected one. I encouraged them to pray it together as a family.

A heavyset, shirtless, tattooed man came for a Rosary. The woman with him sat at a picnic table. The man explained that they didn’t remember where they parked their car. May the Lord grant that not only did they find their car without trouble, but also grant that He lead them through the Rosary to their Savior Jesus Christ.

A woman from the conference was using her laptop on a nearby picnic table. She took a minute away from it to come get a Rosary for her brother. They had recently lost their mom, and the Rosary reminded the woman of their mother’s devotion. Both children have remained faithfully Catholic. God be praised!

A woman on a bicycle stopped. She had just bought a house plant, which was perched in the bicycle’s front basket. She was a non-believer, but knew someone who was Catholic. I explained the devotion and how it helps you find out who Jesus Christ is. May the Lord draw her onto the path of salvation.

The weather was hot, nearing triple digits again, and the fountain had been shut off for the season. Foot traffic was fairly light. Yet, I was able to give away 12-15 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it, as well as 4-5 Divine Mercy prayer cards, a St Michael prayer card, and 1-2 prayer cards featuring Our Lady Untier of Knots.

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 efforts.

The Rosary silently speaks volumes about Faith in Jesus Christ, and we enjoy seeing the attraction it holds for all sorts of people. 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!
