Evangelizing
As a Catholic, it is important to evangelize to those around us. Here at school, it is easy to find those to evangelize to, yet hard to get them to listen. This Lent, the Catholic Newman Club decided to do something a little bit different. In our cafeteria we have stands that can hold up to 6 different announcements, so we took advantage of them. Over break, I designed a paper that defined what Lent is and an announcement to invite people to our meetings. I tried to do it in a flashy way that people would enjoy it and not want to rip it up. Today, several of us went around the cafeteria and posted them. I pray that it will open some minds and hearts to Catholicism and God during such an important time of year.

6:6-13 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you
I will admit that this is a beautiful verse in the correct context, however we are called to help others to see the Truth. We cannot watch people enter into sin or stray from the Truth so we are therefore called to evangelize. Being a witness whether it is adding posters or announcements to help others to open their minds and hearts to the Lord and His teachings is truly vital.
