The following report comes to us from team leader Lucy in Boise:
A group of four off-duty military members stopped for Rosaries, recalling a grandparent who prayed it. What a great reminder that faithful witness across generations matters.
A young man, discouraged but open, listened as we explained the Rosary as a way to know Christ more deeply. A pre-teen boy eagerly received one after getting permission, while we prayed for his hesitant father. Two non-Catholic Christian women also accepted Rosaries, open to growing closer to Jesus.
A Catholic teen and his mother returned after initially passing by, grateful to receive a Rosary and Spanish booklet. Another man accepted one and asked for a blessing, comforted to know the Rosaries had already been blessed.
Many others passed by, some Catholic, some not. Yet even brief encounters seemed to plant seeds about prayer and Jesus. One atheist woman rejected belief as she rode past; we entrust her to God. Another couple showed mixed reactions, and a former Catholic fondly remembered her grandmother’s Rosary. A young teen was especially drawn to the beauty of his Rosary, a reminder that beauty can lead souls to God.
Despite light foot traffic, 20–25 Rosaries were distributed. Please pray that hearts continue to be prepared to receive Christ and that much fruit comes from these efforts.
Praised be Jesus Christ!
