Got an Evangelization Moment?

𝙀𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙧 Through the years at work, I've learned that wearing a Jesus (or Mary or a saint) medallion or crucifix seemed to capture my clients' attention, and without me even trying, it elicits them to open up, ask and talk about faith, prayer or church conversations. I find many people are living in quiet desperation, longing for something transcendent. As an introvert, this is one simple way of evangelizing and sanctifying my workplace especially working on a setting or system that is imperfect. Excited to hear your #holymoments story, too. Who knows, "you may be the only Jesus some people see."   CHECK OUT SAINTLY CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS GIFTS & MERCH:  Amazon.com/author/domchu Artjuniverse.redbubble.com Teepublic.com/user/artjuniverse

When Hope Was Born

This was an Advent talk I gave last year, December 2019, in a Christian Charismatic Community that I am a part of, e dited for the purpose of this blog. May it help you prepare your heart to Jesus this Christmas.  I was asked to share perhaps a personal reflection or insight as we approach this season of Advent. Well, before anything else, I must confess the past few months I've been feeling, as the saying goes, "down on my luck" lately. Work has been kind of slow, and discouraging. And it distressingly affects me emotionally and makes me lose interest in doing things. And so, as I pray on what the Holy Spirit wanted me to share to you as we prepare ourselves for the season of Advent given my said despondent disposition, I was reminded about the gift God had shown me during my 1st deeper conversion of faith back in high school many eons ago, that helps recollect my spirit in times such as these. And it's a timely reminder for me because it's also something we are ...

On the Book about St. Augustine Answers 101 Questions on Prayer

THIS BOOK with a straight-forward title caught my eye right away when I saw it in our church's little book corner weeks ago. Because, you know, if you put together St. Augustine + his answers to questions + in a Q&A format that's readable and + the questions are of the classics such as "How do I know God hears my prayers?" or "Why must I ask for things God already knows I need?" etc., you can bet this is going to be a keeper. So far after a month of on and off reading (jumpin g from one book to another), I'm at around #63, some Q&A are not as breezy reading as I thought it would be and may require some repeat reading to comprehensively get the rich theology and philosophy of this old man. Especially when you are no theologian or philosopher and most especially to be reading the works of, many considered, the Grand Daddy of theology, the Theologian of theologians (alongside St. Thomas Aquinas). Yet knowing who St. Augustine a b...
