The following is a continuation of yesterday’s story and comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
“Blake” stopped by again. He said he had lost his Rosary, and so chose another one. He also grabbed a copy of the “new” pamphlet we had out, “The Divinity of Christ”. He also took another copy of each prayer card. May God bless his studies and bring him all the way to Catholic Sainthood!
“Uwe” stopped by early. He spoke of his time with a world health organization in Switzerland, and of a Nobel Prize winning economist who pioneered microloans for women in poor countries. With each loan came an economic advisor, and much progress out of poverty happened for the communities. Uwe also talked about the importance of educating girls, since girls in turn teach their whole families, who all benefit. Whereas, educated boys tend to focus only on bettering themselves. He said, though, that the concept of educating especially girls has not overcome cultural bias in poor countries. His personal philosophy, though, is that human beings are parasites and will destroy the planet. May God open his heart to the Catholic worldview that God created human beings as good, loves us, and wants us saved.
As I was putting everything away, a man came to the table for a Rosary. He glanced at the few we still had out, but requested a chain one. May God bless him and draw him deeper to His Sacred Heart through the Rosary devotion. May God bless all of our Rosary makers!
The weather was extraordinarily hot out last week, so foot traffic was very light. Still, we gave away maybe 5-10 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it, a “Divinity of Christ” pamphlet, 3 Divine Mercy prayer cards, and an Our Lady Untier of Knots prayer card.
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.
God still uses the Rosary to draw people’s attention to His love for them. So, 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!
