Revangelize

Hello Friends,

In 2017, Born Dignified was started as an online ministry with a clear and simple mission — serve as a platform for Catholic young adults to share their witness of faith with others as a source of encouragement and hope. To date, this mission has resulted in over a hundred testimonials shared, over 100,000 views on our website, and thousands of likes, comments, and shares on our social media. The Gospel Message lived out in the lives of our contributors has been spread across the web in a beautiful and inspiring way.

Several years ago, a decision was made to pause our ministry as many of our key leaders were beginning new, exciting chapters of their lives. The intention has always been to resume the ministry at an appropriate time. This time has now come.

In response to our call to by Pope Leo XIV to be Digital Missionaries, we are beyond thrilled to announce that Born Dignified will be rebranding as “Revangelize Catholic” with a tentative relaunch date of Ash Wednesday 2026. Our mission will remain the same — serve as a platform for young adults to share their witnesses of faith. Revangelize is based on the concept of the New Evanglization — re-evangelization of the people in our very own pews. We aim to build a community of young adults online to support one another in this Re-Evangelization (Revangelize as we have coined it). While Born Dignified was largely blog based, our main method of publication will largely be video content in the future. Revangelize will also be launched as an LLC and will have resources, gifts, and other products available for purchase on our website in the future. All proceeds will go directly to supporting further development of this ministry.

Please keep our Revangelize team in your prayers as we work toward spreading the kingdom of God in the digital realm and most importantly… Be Radical. Be Real. Be Revangelized.

Happy Feast of St. Ignatius of Antioch! St. Ignatius of Antioch, also known as Ignatius the Bearer of God, was an early Church Father and the third bishop of Antioch. Born around the year 35 AD, he was a disciple of St. John the Apostle and played a crucial role in guiding the early Christian community during a time of intense persecution. Arrested for his faith, Ignatius was taken to Rome, where he faced martyrdom around 107 AD. Along the journey, he wrote seven profound letters to various Christian communities, encouraging them to stay united, uphold the teachings of Christ, and remain steadfast in their faith despite adversity.

For Catholic young adults today, St. Ignatius offers timeless lessons. His life teaches the importance of courage and perseverance, showing that faith is not just a set of beliefs but a commitment to live truthfully, even when it’s challenging. His letters emphasize unity and love within the Church, reminding us to prioritize community over individualism. Lastly, his unwavering faith encourages us to embrace our identity as Christians and trust in God’s plan, no matter the cost. St. Ignatius inspires us to live boldly for our faith, just as he did.

St. Ignatius of Antioch, pray for us!

Lord help us know when we see you in the Eucharist that you truly are present- you are our salvation.

Help us have trust and faith like Simeon does when he sees Jesus.

Mary asked one question: “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?”

How often to we ask God the first part of this question- “How can this be?”

We we ask this question, is it because we are seeking knowledge or is there distrust in our hearts.

I admit I have asked this question with distrust and lack of surrender in my heart. The questions go something like this:
- How can this be, I’m not strong enough?
- How did this happen?
- How can I handle or go through with this?
- Why is this happening:
- I don’t have enough money
- it’s not a good time
- I’m too stressed
- I’m to busy
- I’m too tired
- I’ll get to it later, etc.

It’s okay to ask questions and it’s normal to sometimes have doubts, but as we prepare for Jesus’ coming, let’s strive to have trust and surrender in our hearts.

God became man because He loves us. He took on our human form to give us a means of salvation. Even if we don’t understand, we should always know Hod has our best interest at heart.

John the Baptist prepared the way for God. All he did was to testify to the light, testify and witness to Jesus.

Let’s follow St. John the Baptist’s example of how to live with our whole heart geared towards God. Let’s live in the joy of this light.

Let’s pray…

When life goes right and is joy-filled, help me testify to you.

When life is confusing and difficult, help me testify to you.

When I go about my daily tasks, help me testify to you.

When things don’t go as planned, help me testify to you.

When I’m stressed, help me testify to you.

When prayer is easy, help me testify to you.

When I don’t see or hear you, help me testify to you.

Lord help me testify to you in all circumstances. I surrender myself to you completely and I love you. I know you will never fail me. Help me center every fiber of myself to focus on you and prepare for your coming. We love you and ask this all in you holy name, Jesus. Amen

Having the mindset of we must always be on the watch in todays work can easily cause anxiety. Whether it’s a strict boss, a huge project, a fast approaching deadline- even just normal every day events we need to stay alert for, can cause anxiety.

The difference between being watchful for things of this world and watchful for the world we we created for is the person we are waiting for.

God is merciful, loving, self sacrificial, our bridegroom, just, all knowing, all powerful, etc.

We should respond in the form of “being ready” meaning always be attentive in prayer, always docile to the Holy Spirit, surrendered to the Fathers will, and loving like He calls us, no because we are scared of a deadline, but because God deserves our life after giving it to us and giving us the chance for eternal happiness and peace with Him.

Being watchful should not be rooted in fear, but in an all encompassing love.
