Step 3: Connect as friends.
.
After you've identified the person the Lord is calling you to walk with and prayed for this person, look for ways to build a deeper friendship with them.
.
"Eucharistic friendship" builds upon the dynamic that Jesus revealed in his relationships with the apostles and, above all, at the Last Supper—he TOOK bread, BLESSED it, BROKE it, and GAVE it.
.
As you spend time with the person you've identified, it's important to TAKE and receive what they share, BLESS and lift it up in prayer, allow the Holy Spirit to BREAK open opportunities to connect, and then GIVE of yourself in response.
.
Practically speaking, listen to your friend as they share their joys and struggles. Be interested in their life.
.
Share your own joys and struggles when it's appropriate.
.
Listen respectfully when the conversation turns to spiritual matters, including their relationship with God and any questions about the Church.
.
Share your faith confidently and joyfully.
.
Note: Some people might be ready to discuss the spiritual life after only a conversation or two, while others might need more time. Therefore, stay connected to the Holy Spirit first and foremost!

Step 2: We intercede for the person(s) we have identified.
.Once you have prayed and moved in trust to identify a person(s) whom you know, commit to praying for them for a specific period of time.
.
Intercede for them:
--Pray for any struggles they might be facing with brokenness or sin.
--Pray for the removal of any obstacles that might impede them from drawing closer to Jesus.
--Pray that they may explore the Catholic faith more deeply.
.
And as you intercede for them, ask God to create opportunities for you to build deeper friendship with them and to bring enriching spiritual conversations into that friendship.
.
Another beautiful way to pray for people you spiritually accompany is by offering a holy hour or a rosary for them! Consider doing this for those you walk with!

Did you know? Can you help?
Volunteers from our parish prepare and deliver approximately 60 meals each Sunday to those in our community that are in need of a hot meal.
We have food crews who cook the meals and prepare them for delivery. And we have delivery drivers each weekend.
Currently, a couple of people to deliver meals on the first Sunday of each month is needed. At least two people go together - one to drive, one to deliver to the door. Some crews have their whole family involved and the kids help, making the process even more efficient.

Step 1: Prayerfully discern who God is asking you to walk with.
.
In the Scriptures, we hear over and over how Jesus intentionally invited people to follow him. He has personally invited you to follow him as well.
.
If you have accepted this invitation to become a follower of Jesus, then you are called to become like him and do what he did. And what did he do?
.
He identified someone (12 someones in particular) to invite into a deep, personal friendship. And through these friendships, he walked people into a transformative experience of God’s love. As his followers, we are called to do likewise with at least one other person. This is "Walk With One."
.
Evangelization, or “bringing the Good News,” is typically most fruitful within the context of friendship, in one-on-one moments that are not planned or scripted. These moments arise at a coffee shop, over dinner, a birthday party, etc.
.
As Pope Francis has noted, “Anyone who has truly experienced God's saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love” (Evangelii Gaudium, no. 120).
.
But where do we start with inviting someone to take a step closer to Jesus? How might we invite them forward in their faith? The first step is to prayerfully discern whom God is calling you to accompany.

National Eucharistic Revival
"For by the sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed." CCC 1285
.
We all have a responsibility to evangelize, and thanks to the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are well-equipped for this mission!
.
Walk With One is the primary ask from our bishops for the Year of Mission.
.
Each of us are invited to respond to the Eucharistic Revival and the missionary call of our baptism by going out into the world and inviting someone else back to Jesus Christ.
.
There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to call to himself. He longs for them to experience the abundance of a Eucharistic life!
.
Here are some very practical "steps" to walking with someone. This week on our social media, we will be unpacking each of these steps in more depth. Make sure to share with your family, friends, and church communities!
.
Identify who the Lord wants you to walk with.
Intercede for that person.
Connect with them by building a friendship.
Invite them into a personal relationship with Christ and His Church.

What real-life examples of love thy neighbor and reconciliation can you think of?

A lot of Catholic parents would love to say the Rosary with their kids . . . if the experience wasn’t quite so, erm . . . fraught. At our house, we barely make it out of the preliminaries before the littles are swinging their beads around like lassos . . . which inevitably become airborne missiles . . . and if you have ever been whacked in the face by a rosary mid-Hail Mary, you know it kind of ruins the mood. Fortunately, we’ve come up with a couple insights that help us to pray the Rosary as a family in a more sane and meaningful way. Here's help: www.teachingcatholickids.com/13-tips-for-praying-the-rosary-with-kids/

The Mass is not just about looking at Jesus. When you see the Lord lifted up like this, you are looking at Calvary. [Lifting his hands as if holding up the Chalice and Host, he continued] When you see the Lord lifted up like this, you are participating in his restoration of the world.
