That’s (in part) why we have this practical activity! The Lord has plans that we will be unaware of if we don’t ask!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

Praised be Jesus Christ for His amazing grace!

Thank you for sharing your story. It looks like you’ve completed the activity, but I encourage you to perform this activity again when the time seems right. We can always stand to benefit from “more” of the Holy Spirit!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

Great, James!

Please let us know how your experience goes with the activity!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

Sounds good, James! Please let us know when you have had a “divine appointment” experience and how it went!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

Tell us about one of the times you shared your testimony with someone. How did it go?

[Mark J Hornbacher]

Wonderful, James! For the practical activity requirement, please tell us about one of the times you shared the Kerygma with someone!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

You are doing a valuable work, James!

Lord Jesus, please bless James’ friends with heart-healing and openness to receive all the gifts you have planned for them. In Your Holy Name we pray!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

That too often can be a struggle for me too. And you’re exactly right on the way to respond. I love that phrase, “reclaim the joy of being in Christ’s friendship.” Based on a book I’m reading, I like to call it “return to joy.” That is our calling as Christians: to live in the joy of the Lord.

[Mark J Hornbacher]

I’m so glad the activity was beneficial to you!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

I’m glad that you find the exercise helpful!

Let us know how your time before the Blessed Sacrament goes!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

Sounds like a beautiful encounter! We’d love to here how that relationship and evangelization develops!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

I think these are great, creative ways of sharing the gospel! In regard to your issue at the end, I’d say you might add stuff about prayer and an active relationship with Jesus. Once they’ve said yes to the Gospel, there is catechesis in how to live this new life they are choosing. And they can live this life as children, through prayer, obedience to the commandments, receiving the sacraments, and works of charity. Maybe you can explain all these in terms of your gospel presentations.

[Mark J Hornbacher]

I’m glad you found the exercise helpful, Jacob!

[Mark J Hornbacher]

Can we share your story, Michael?

[Mark J Hornbacher]

Praise the Lord!
