Stories from the Street
Detroit, MI. As St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote, you have to pray to be saved. In order to go to heaven when we die, we must have established some kind of friendship with God. As Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” But you can’t be in friendship with God without prayer. Therefore, the simple act of inviting others to prayer can be a fruitful effort of evangelization. This is what the Detroit and other SPSE teams recently did for the “Night Fever” event: they invited people on the street to come into the beautiful Old St Mary’s Catholic Church in Detroit’s Greektown, to light a candle and say a prayer. This occasioned also some great conversations, with the opportunity to share the Gospel. Great work, Detroit Team!
