How often do you say, "I'll keep you in my prayers," to someone in a difficult place? And then not remember?

We all live "in the moment", so here's a suggestion. Ask immediately, "Would you like me to pray with you?" You will ALWAYS get a 'yes!' So what do you do next? Most of us are not skilled at extemporanious prayer. But there is an easier and extemely powerful way to make that prayer on the spot. It takes about a minute.

Take a moment right now and click this [LINK]. Barbara Alderfer, author of the book, "Stop, Drop, and Pray", will teach you this amazing method. You already know the prayer.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the depth of our faith that we forget what it was like to first wrestle with the big questions – Who am I? What am I searching for? What’s our shared story? Who is Jesus? Why do we need a Church? Is there a God? We all need to get back to the basics to make sure the foundation is strong. 

We are excited to introduce The Search, a new 7-part Augustine Institute Original Series with the goal of lighting that first fire in those who don’t yet know the faith or reigniting the fire in those who need a primer on the foundational questions. 

Evangelization Opportunity

 The Search recasts the vision for what life’s all about to those who’ve walked away—those who are asking big questions. We need to answer them well so they see the Catholic Faith as it truly is. Each week, a new episode is presented on Formed.org,  and the previous episode is deleted. It's a wonderful oppotunity for you to help familhy members and friends find their own answers to life's great questions. Just use one of the share methods (email or social media) that appear on the opening screen of any episode. We guarantee you'll know who you want to give this treasure as soon as you watch it yourself!
