I've heard stories of people flipping through channels on TV and coming upon EWTN and being led to conversion, it is possible with blogs as well.<br />Blessings to you all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124468084334204166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418857925355392274.post-6864980715712019332011-01-27T03:39:09.661-05:002011-01-27T03:39:09.661-05:00Our conversion means we should do our best to spre...Our conversion means we should do our best to spread the Good News.

His message for World Mission Sunday is a stirring call to bring Jesus Christ to all peoples:<br /><br /><i>We cannot remain tranquil in face of the thought that, after two thousand years, there are still peoples who do not know Christ and have not yet heard his message of salvation.</i><br /><br />The Holy Father's address on St. Joan of Arc speaks of Joan's "conversion" at the age of 13 (she was of course already a baptized Catholic) and how her intense love for Jesus was the fire that fueled the political and military exploits for which she is best known by the world:<br /><br /><i>From her own words, we know that Joan's religious life matured experientially beginning at the age of 13 (PCon, I, p. 47-48). Through the "voice" of the Archangel St. Michael, Joan felt called by the Lord to intensify her Christian life and also to commit herself personally to the liberation of her people. Her immediate response, her "yes," was the vow of virginity, with a new commitment to sacramental life and to prayer: daily attendance at Mass, frequent confession and Communion and long periods of silent prayer before the Crucified or before the image of the Virgin. The compassion and commitment of the young French peasant girl in face of the suffering of her people became more intense because of her mystical relationship with God. One of the most original aspects of the holiness of this young girl was precisely the connection between mystical experience and political mission.</i><br /><br />World Mission Sunday:<br />http://www.zenit.org/article-31565?l=english<br />St Joan:<br />http://www.zenit.org/article-31576?l=english<br /><br />God bless!<br /><br />In Jesu XPI Passio,<br />DavdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418857925355392274.post-82726712679247585152011-01-25T22:29:32.876-05:002011-01-25T22:29:32.876-05:00Great point - we cannot just sit still after our c...Great point - we cannot just sit still after our conversions ... we must go forth and preach the Gospel!<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder about today's Feast Day - I join you in praying to St Paul to intercede for us! <br /><br />God Bless!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166363205001461183noreply@blogger.com
