In Russia: ministry with youth...


How does one be a lay missioner? How does one be an apostle? Where does one even begin to start in such a ministry with this age bracket?

Asking myself the same questions, I kept on the move through the city while invoking the Paraclete. With tact I tried to meet them in their own forum - wherever that happened to be. I was a curiosity and my message unknown while the Holy Ghost was reigning down with fire...

With the youth I tried to always introduce myself first with my name, nationality and that I was a Catholic. I would share the web address of the mission parish and invite them to visit. I would then grin as I'd be known as "the Catholic."
