“The Need for Christ” Pt. 1 This report is the first in a two-part story from team leader Lucy in Boise, Idaho: Intact families are becoming a more common sight, praise God! And thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort. A 40-something man and his wife stopped twice during the session. The first time was while our table was being set up. He said his father, in another city, is on hospice and has received “prayers from a Catholic priest.” The man wanted a Rosary to take to him, and chose a chain Rosary with strikingly blue cube-shaped beads. When he stopped a second time later on, to thank us for being there, he gave his father’s name: “Joe Garcia”. Please send up a prayer for Jose/Joe! A family stopped so each parent and their 3 or 4 grade-school-aged boys could choose a Rosary. One boy had claimed the black chain Rosary the evangelist had just laid on the table. As the group was leaving, he exclaimed, “Hey! I’m the only one who got a metal one!” May the family pray it together and experience blessing! Three young adults stopped when one of the two men wanted a Rosary. He had no idea what it was, and he wasn’t Christian. Because the group seemed impatient, the evangelist introduced the Rosary as a way to get to know Who Jesus is, and encouraged our visitor to use it reverently to take his questions to Him. He seemed open to trying it. I don’t think either of his two companions chose a Rosary. May Our Lord draw our visitor into a saving relationship with Himself. Several non-Catholics paused in passing to say they liked our new Pope! May God bless and guide Pope Leo XIV. 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. ____________________________ WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
