THE GREAT COMMISSION

October 27, 2023

In Matthew 28 Jesus commissioned his apostles to go into the whole world and proclaim the good news. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." You don't have to travel to a far off country in order to find people who have never heard of the gospel, but they are right in our back yard. Sheila shared the good news with Adrianna who had never heard the gospel before. She was very eager to learn and accepted all of the information given to her. People are hungry to hear the truth. Alex and David who are from Haiti overheard Sheila sharing and she encouraged them both who were baptized Catholic to return to the Church. Amparo was able to make many encounters with the Spanish community there and to connect them with St Martin's to receive the sacraments. Many of them were baptized Catholics when they were young but do not continue to go to church.

Please pray in particular for a young adult named Tyler who was very adamant in not receiving any information about God. I had met him before. I asked him if he remembered my conversation with him and he said yes. He started again in saying you cannot prove that God exist, and it is all a myth. I challenged him to just ask God if He is real if he won't take our word for it. He opened up a bit after that and I shared my witness with him. I sensed that God wanted to use him and had a specific purpose for him to accomplish. He received that encouragement and actually took information about our parish and information about the young adult group. I am expecting and praying to see him soon. Please pray that this little chapter would bear much fruit for God's kingdom and Our Lady guide us.
