The following story comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
Trinity Sunday was on the US holiday Memorial Day this year. As we were waiting for “our wagon o’ stuff” to arrive, one of us spied a priest from the nearby cathedral walking through the square, Rosary in hand. He was moving too quickly to catch up to us, but we REALLY appreciated his prayers!
We had a repeat visit from ”Brian”, the photographer who once lost a large Crucifix in a river in the wilderness. He had been setting it up for a shot but, when he turned around, it was nowhere to be found. I speculated that perhaps his Guardian Angel had given it to someone who needed a miracle at that moment. Brian told us that he gives Rosaries away almost as soon as he gets them. He thinks of them, though, only as “a cross” and refused our offer of the pamphlet that teaches how to use it as prayer.
A family of four, including two teens, told us they all had “plenty of Rosaries at home” and were praying it regularly. The mom, though, chose one to give to a friend. One of the teens asked for an “Our Lady Untier of Knots” prayer card. When she mentioned that she collects holy cards, we set her up with about 5 more: Jesus Knocking, St Michael, St Monica, St Francis, and a Madonna and Child. We also asked the family to remember us in prayer.
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 effort.
God continues to bless us with peace. Thank you, God! And 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!
