The following story is a continuation from yesterday’s story and comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:

“Marty” stopped to say hi. He had fallen and injured his right hand, and so ordinary tasks are quite difficult, since he lives alone. Please send up a prayer for his recovery.

Two teenage girls were passing by. One of them paused when she heard our invitation, and then came to the table with a sigh, as if she were obligated to do so. She chose a Rosary, and the other girl did, too. They said they were already familiar with the devotion.

A non-Catholic Christian came to the table for a Rosary, but was unfamiliar with it. We gave a brief explanation of the devotion and how it helps you grow closer to Christ. We also recommended he search for the “Rosary in a Year” podcast. He agreed to do so.

A couple we met last week who seem to be struggling passed by again. Chuck encouraged them to pray the Rosaries they got from us.

A man in a leather jacket stopped for a Rosary and listened to our explanation of the prayer with a smile, but seemed hesitant to speak. Finally, he agreed that Jesus has shown us great love and hinted that he thought we each hear something different from God. But then he lapsed into silence again before wandering away. Pray that the love God has for him helps him recognize the unity He desires for us in the oneness of His Church.

Altogether, on this Epiphany Sunday, the evangelists gave away 12-15 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it.

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’s love for each of the people we encounter is overwhelming. What a joy when they respond! So, thank you again for your prayers and other support for this apostolate. In turn, may God protect and bless you and all those you love!
