The following report comes to us from Br. John with our Society of Evangelists in Warren, MI:
At the pharmacy, I noticed the clerk had a necklace on and asked, “Is that a Miraculous Medal?” He responded, “Yes it is!” Before I left, I asked, “Hey, so have you noticed a difference wearing your cross?” He said, “What do you mean?” So I pressed further, asking, “Well, have you noticed God’s blessings?” He expanded, saying, “Well people do notice it and they say, “Nice cross!” I countered, “It makes them feel happy?” He exclaimed, “Yes!” So I commended him, responding with, “Well you know what, I need to follow your example and wear mine more too!” He commented, “Thanks I always wear it, I always show it”. I finished, saying “That’s awesome man, God bless you and have a great day!” He returned the well wishes, saying “You too!”
Praised be Jesus Christ!
