EVANGELIZATION RESOURCES TO HELP WITH PRAYER

“Pray openly in conversation with Jesus about everyday matters.”

Prayer is the foundation of any evangelization effort. The work of evangelization is accomplished through grace given by the Father through Jesus Christ and the working of the Holy Spirit. We are the vessel that has God chosen in this time and place to nurture His work in another. We pray and ask the Holy Spirit for divine appointments and then we leave the conversion up to God. Remember that for those who are married and those who have children, spouses and children should have the priority. In addition, priests have a primary responsibility to nurture the relationship of his parishioners with Jesus Christ. However, just as Ambrose was the catalyst for Augustine’s conversion, it can sometimes be easier to evangelize extended family, friends, co-workers and neighbors.
