"Respond to the Gospel"

This report comes from team leader Mark with our Eastern Market SPSE team in Detroit, MI:

Bill and I returned to Eastern Market last Saturday morning. We got off to a slow start as nearly everyone rejected our offers of free Rosaries. Things picked up and the people became more receptive halfway through the outing. One woman approached us asking for a Rosary. She said that she just started OCIA and wants to join the Catholic Church. She accepted a Rosary but declined the how-to pamphlet and quickly walked away, avoiding any further conversation.

A group of three men approached, all eager to receive Rosaries, Miraculous Medals, and more. One young man, wearing a shirt that said "Support Your Local Drug Dealer" but he was the most receptive and zealous of them all. That just goes to show that you can't judge someone on their appearance, assuming how they might respond to the Gospel.

Our last and probably best encounter was with a young couple. We offered a free Rosary the first time we saw them but the woman declined and they both kept walking. We saw them again 15 minutes later and the young woman was happy to approach and take a Rosary. The young man initially stood in the distance behind her but I invited him to approach and he accepted. Bill talked to the woman and she seemed receptive, while it seemed like the man just wanted to be polite and support his girlfriend.

Bill asked if they were familiar with the Rosary and the woman responded, "yes, I'm Christian." He went on to explain the Rosary as a meditation on the Gospel, talking about the different mysteries and scenes in the life of Jesus. In the end, Bill offered to pray for them. They hesitated for a second but accepted the offer. Bill prayed that they come to know the love and mercy of God, that God would reveal Himself to them and guide them individually as well as in their relationship.

Praised Be Jesus Christ!

Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew:

Jesus said to his disciples: "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that 'every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

- Matthew 18:15-20

Grace Against the Odds

The following story comes to us from SPSE store customer Deacon Cody in the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana:

Deacon Cody, a regular customer of the SPSE online store, recently found himself in a place where you might not expect an opportunity for evangelization: a casino.

While there, he encountered three young women who worked at the casino. The first was a young woman named Dixie, who was covered in tattoos. As Deacon Cody made his way around the gambling area, he eventually met two other young women as well. He struck up conversations with them and, as Providence would have it, happened to have three Miraculous Medals with him...one for each of them. The medals had been blessed with Epiphany water and touched to three first-class relics.

Deacon Cody offered each woman a medal, never knowing what might come from such a simple gesture. But weeks later, he learned that for one of the women, accepting that small sacramental marked the beginning of something remarkable.

The 22-year-old woman had been struggling with an addiction to methamphetamine. When Deacon Cody encountered her again some weeks later, she told him that something had changed after she received the Miraculous Medal. Whenever the urge to use drugs came over her, she somehow found the strength to resist it. Where before she had given in to the temptation, now she was able to say no.

And she kept saying no.

By the time Deacon Cody shared her story with us, the young woman had been sober for six months!

We never know what God might do with a simple act of faith. A conversation, a kind word, a blessed medal offered to a stranger...any of these can become an opening through which grace enters someone’s life. Our job is simply to be willing to offer what we have and allow God to do the rest.

Praised be Jesus Christ!

Blessed Memorial of St. Teresa of Calcutta!

“Unless we believe and see Jesus in the appearance of bread on the altar, we will not be able to see him in the distressing disguise of the poor.”

“The so-called right to abortion has portrayed the greatest of gifts — a child — as a competitor, an intrusion and an inconvenience.”

“We are at Jesus’ disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that’s all right, everything is all right. We must say, 'I belong to you. You can do whatever you like.' And this is our strength. This is the joy of the Lord.”

“A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.”

“Do not wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person.”

St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!

Whatever the Need, God is Listening

The following report comes to us from team leader Rory in Prescott, Arizona:

Our Prescott team had another fantastic outing this weekend, spending time with people, praying for their needs, and witnessing to the Catholic Faith. As is so often the case with street evangelization, we encountered people carrying all kinds of burdens...some physical, some spiritual, and some concerning the people they love.

One woman approached the team and asked for prayers both for herself and for the repose of the soul of her late husband. She had recently been diagnosed with stage-one heart failure. We were grateful for the opportunity to pray with her, asking the Lord to give her healing, strength, and peace, while also entrusting her husband to His mercy.

Another woman asked us to pray for the conversion of her three sons. All three have fallen away from the Faith in one way or another, with some indifferent toward God and others actively hostile toward the Faith. We joined her in bringing her sons before the Lord, praying that He would soften their hearts, draw them back to Himself, and give their mother hope and perseverance.

A gentleman also stopped to request prayers for a friend struggling with sobriety and currently participating in a 12-Step program. We prayed that God would give his friend the grace and strength to remain sober, especially during moments of temptation and discouragement.

Finally, we met a woman who had been diagnosed with colon cancer and was in very poor health. We prayed over her for healing, asking Jesus to be close to her in her suffering and to give her the strength she needs.

Every person we encounter has a story, and so many are quietly carrying illness, grief, worry, or concern for someone they love. What a blessing it is to be able to meet them where they are, listen to them, and bring their intentions before the Lord.

Thanks to everyone who was able to join us on Saturday. We’re already looking forward to our next outing!

Praised be Jesus Christ!

Blessed Memorial of St. Rosalia!

St. Rosalia was born in Palermo, Sicily, in 1130. She was raised in a devout and noble family that claimed descent from Charlemagne. Tradition says that two angels led St. Rosalia to a cave on Mount Pellegrino. She spent the rest of her life as a hermit at the cave and died there in 1166. Nearly three centuries later, Palermo suffered a terrible plague. In 1624, St. Rosalia appeared first to a sick woman, then to a hunter, to whom she indicated where her remains were to be found. St. Rosalia ordered the hunter to bring her bones to Palermo and have them carried in procession through the city.

The hunter climbed the mountain and found her bones in the cave as described. He did what she had asked in the apparition. After her remains were carried around the city three times, the plague ceased. After this Saint Rosalia was venerated as the patron saint of Palermo, and a sanctuary was built in the cave where her remains were discovered.

St. Rosalia, pray for us!
