Our team set up a table at our usual spot on Main Street, and had our prayer warriors praying for all those that we would meet, that their hearts be open to the Holy Spirit. Although a cold and dark evening, our table had a very steady stream of pedestrians. We spoke to at least 5 or 6 people who only spoke Spanish. One of the men with whom Ingrid spoke had a bad experience with fellow parishioners and no longer attended Mass because of it. She spoke to him and offered alternatives for him to fulfill his Mass obligation, as well as apologized on behalf of the church for his experience. A young man who works in addiction counseling stopped to ask for prayers for his mom who was ill, and for his dad who was his mom’s caretaker. He said that his ex-girlfriend was Catholic and he was feeling more and more that he needs to respond to God’s call to him. We gave him our contact information and information on events at our parish for RCIA. We spoke to a lovely young woman who was a Presbyterian who asked for prayers for her father. We prayed with her, and then we followed up with if she had ever thought about the Catholic Church. We had a very fruitful discussion about her concerns about papal authority and differences between the Holy Eucharist and the communion offered at her church. In the end, she took her leave with a few of our  brochures.  We spoke to an older gentleman who although was an altar server in his youth, now attends a Protestant church. Since he was very familiar with the Catholic Church, we spoke to him about his faith and offered that he attend our parish’s advent penance service that was just the next Monday, in case he wanted to come back. We spoke to a man from Bolivia who hasn’t been going to church for a year or so, but has been feeling a tug on his heart to come back. We gave him the mass times at our parish, and encouraged going to confession. We spoke to a woman who appeared to have some mental health issues. We also spoke to a few people who were waiting at a bus stop nearby. Please pray for all of these people that they continue to feel and respond to the calling of the Holy Spirit.
