This is the first in a two-part story from team leader Lucy in Boise, Idaho:

God can touch hearts even without undue noise. So, thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.

Two families with young children were walking together. When one family stopped for Rosaries, the other family did, too. They were non-Catholic Christians, so we described the Rosary as a series of meditations on the life of Christ that help us grow closer to Him. At least five or six members of the group accepted a Rosary and the pamphlet on how to pray it. May God use the Rosary stories to draw each member of the families to Him and peace.

A Catholic mother with two little boys stopped so the boys could get a Rosary. It turns out that she is from the same parish as Lucy. After we encouraged them to pray the Rosary together, the mom chose one, too, and accepted pamphlets for all of them. May God bless the family and help the boys grow up Faithful.

A young man stopped who wasn’t a Christian. Lucy explained the Rosary as a way to get to know Who Christ is. She encouraged him to use it reverently and take his questions into the meditations. She also set him up with a copy of the Good News/kerygma pamphlet. May God draw him to actually pray the Rosary, and then answer his prayer by granting the gift of Faith!

We were grateful for a return of the usually peaceful atmosphere that surrounds our apostolate. 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!
