CatholicMom: ‘Tis the season for evangelizing
If you think the last thing you want to talk about at a Thanksgiving dinner or a Christmas Eve gathering is evangelization, I’ve got good news for you! ‘Tis the season for evangelization! As the year winds down, it provides the perfect time to honor God for all he has done for you in 2019. Telling the Good News of God’s mercy and love is called evangelizing. And the most effective way to evangelize, according to Saint John Paul II, is through your personal witness. That’s what you have available to you all the time wherever you are.
The celebrations during this season are good settings to share your faith. Why? Because most people are relaxed. They haven’t seen you for a while. They are both curious to hear stories about you and ready to tell of their adventures and accomplishments. But they may not be expecting a story about a miracle, healing or encounter with God.
