Do you ever ask Him what He wants from you? How do you listen for His response? Usually, the answer is in “quiet whispers”, so take time every day, in silence, to actively listen for His response. ~Word of Life~ Heavenly Father… Give us love for all people, especially the most vulnerable, and help us bear witness to the truth that every life is worth living.

In the words of Bishop McManus: “It is my prayerful hope that increasing the number of Catholics who are trained in how to evangelize will enable our parishes and diocese to reach out to all who have drifted from the Church, to those who have given up God in their lives, and to those who have never heard the good news of Jesus.”
