Evangelization 101

"Evangelization means public witnessing and being a shocking sign of contradiction. We should not shrink at this reality. We will be opposed, naturally, and even fiercely by some. But we also know that the heart of man is hungry for the Good News of the Gospel. There is a built-in success mechanism in any evangelization effort. Therefore, if the children of darkness are not afraid, we should be even less afraid."

Prison Ministry

Every Tuesday night at prison I do a one on one, for about forty-five minutes, with a different inmate who has requested to see a prison ministry volunteer. After discussing any particular problem he has, I ask if I can share my Catholic faith with him. No one has ever said, “No.”

Would that I'd have the courage for such a thing. God bless this guy.
