If you are not a student of Stone to Flesh:
Evangelization. New or Old? When our cleverness, philosophical and reasonable arguments are not impacting people we love, what then? How can we release Catholic apostles, prophets and evangelists to bring the fruit of Christ's suffering and resurrecgtion?
For 40 years now we hear New Evangelization terminology used in conferences, talks and parish halls. What have we done with the expression that was anchored in JP2's idea of awakening the sleeping giant? What is the condition of your Catholic parish, school, college regarding pursuing continual conversion and how will revival come to our Catholic world? Are we impacting the culture with Christian ideas, art and power from on high? What is your sphere of influence and how are you reaching people who are seeking for the truth?
You have to have a vision of the dying world desperately needing a healing touch to react to the pounding need in Jesus' chest, vibrating throughout the ages for hearts who settle for less than unrelenting Love. Come and ponder, come and pray, come and hear people who are on a mission to become wounded healers.

Tori Harris is the primary instructor of the Holy Spirit 101 courses at the Arise Worship Ministry which she has founded and is presently serving as a council member for the National Service Committee.

“A Catholic faith reduced to mere baggage, to a collection of rules and prohibitions, to fragmented devotional practices, to selective and partial adherence to the truths of the faith, to occasional participation in some sacraments, to the repetition of doctrinal principles, to bland or nervous moralizing, that does not convert the life of the baptized would not withstand the trials of time. Our greatest danger is the gray pragmatism of the daily life of the church in which everything apparently continues normally, but in reality the faith is being consumed and falling into meanness.
We must all start again from Christ, recognizing that being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.”
