Let
it show.
Add blessed candles, Christian pictures and
icons to your home décor. A religious
statue in your garden may prompt passersby to
ask you about your faith.
Give
holy gifts.
Choose gifts or cards that express Christian
sentiments. Giving someone a medal or statue
of a patron saint shows thought, time and care.
Bless
everyone.
Include "May God bless you" in our
answering machine greeting, your stationery
and your signature at the bottom of a note or
letter.
Wear
it proudly.
Wearing holy medals or a crucifix on a chain
tells others you are Catholic and may prompt
questions bout your faith.
Share
wonder.
Look for evidence of God' love every day, and
then share what you notice with someone else.
Demonstrate
justice.
Try to be fair to people at home, at your job,
in the neighborhood, nd all around you.
"Be
not afraid."
Drugs, gambling, alcohol, financial trouble,
or wayward family members can drag anyone toward
despair. Whatever your struggle, remember you
can fail over and over and still know that God
will give you the strength you need.
