My Spiritual Ponderings this month will be another round of Spiritual Randomness which means I will have a different topic to ponder each week. Today, I would like to reflect on the third part of Fr. Ronald Rolheiser’s book: Our One Great Act of Fidelity: Waiting for Christ in the Eucharist. In the third part of his book Fr. Rolheiser suggest four steps/actions that a person should take in developing a Eucharistic spirituality. Quotes from his book will be in bold.
We come now to the last two virtues that will help us become better proclaimers of the Good News of Jesus Christ. I hope that our reflections on these virtues have helped you become better at telling others about Jesus Christ even if it has only been through your actions. I also hope that you have learned what some of the non-productive ways of spreading the faith are and I hope that you will avoid those in the future. Let us once again turn to Mark Brumely and his book: How Not To Share Your Faith: The Seven Deadly Sins of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization. Quotes from his book will be in bold and my thoughts will appear in the normal font.
Let us turn once again to Mark Brumely and his book: How Not To Share Your Faith: The Seven Deadly Sins of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization so that we may discover the seven habits of a good evangelizer so that we can eventually make them our own. Quotes from his book will be in bold and my thoughts will appear in the normal font.
As we strive to live out our Catholic faith we know that Jesus desires that we bring His good news to those around us and as Catholics we call this evangelization. It would therefore be helpful for us to look at what were the virtues or good habits good evangelizer develop so that we can make them our own. For help with this let us turn once again to Mark Brumely and his book: How Not To Share Your Faith: The Seven Deadly Sins of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization will act as a guide for us. Quotes from his book will be in bold and my thoughts will appear in the normal font.
Recently we looked at the Seven Deadly sins that an evangelizer or someone trying to defend the Catholic Faith can commit while trying to do the good of spreading God’s kingdom. Now I would like to look at seven virtues that Catholics should develop. It is these virtues that will make them a walking/living sign pointing to people like Christ. For help looking at these virtues let us turn once again to Mark Brumley. Mark is the current president of Ignatius Press, the largest Catholic publisher and in the past wrote for Catholic Answer Magazine and spoke around the country defending the Catholic faith. His book: How Not To Share Your Faith: The Seven Deadly Sins of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization will act as a guide for us. Quotes from his book will be in bold and my thoughts will appear in the normal font.
