Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
This is Jesus' invitation to discipleship in Matthew 11:28-30.
Father Patrick M. Crino, Pastor
Everyone knows someone who has fallen away from the faith. God wants YOU to be a part of their story of rediscovery. Ask him who he wants you to reach out to. Listen, be open, and let Christ’s love shine through your words. You don’t need to have all the answers—you just need to be present. One phone call could be the catalyst for their return to Christ and his Church.
Someone in your life is longing for a relationship with Jesus—even if they don't know it yet. And Jesus is calling you to reach out to them. Whether they’re questioning, hurting, or simply in need of a listening ear, Christ wants to work through you to bring them to an encounter that will transform their life.
Listen to their story, and share your own. One conversation could be the beginning of their journey home.
There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to connect with more deeply. He wants to spark a relationship with them and bless them with his sacraments. And he wants YOU to be the one to invite them home.
Someone in your life is waiting for a moment that will change everything, and God is ready to deliver. He desires to bring them into a life-changing encounter with his love, pouring abundant grace into their life and giving them the joy and hope they long for. You can help make that moment happen!
Ask God whom he wants you to invite to Sunday Mass, to adoration, or to a prayer event. Your willingness to accompany them may be the spark that leads them back to the sacraments and rekindles their relationship with Christ and his Church.
It only takes one personal encounter with Jesus to change their life forever.
