Knight4Christ Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 What is the best way to start sharing the fullness of the Catholic Church with a protestant who seems to know that they are missing out on something wonderful, but they just can't figure it out? sorry if that doesn't make sense....

philothea Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Ask them to come to mass with you? (If you haven't done this yet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theculturewarrior Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Preach the gospel always, and when necessary, use words. Human kindness is the universal language. People from all cultures are inspired by it. It is the Flesh of God that you eat on Sundays. Let Him radiate through you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroX Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 You might also talk about the Eucharist. Most Protestants have grown up with a deep love for Jesus. Try explaining how Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. Pray always for them. St. Augustine is a good one to pray to for conversions. Also his mother, St. Monica. peace...

Daniel9 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I have a number of Protestant friends in the same position. It is exciting to watch as they discover the spiritual richness of the Catholic Church! I too go slow in the process. I don't want to appear pushy because that's a big turnoff and the process is scary enough. After answering any questions my friends ask, if I have a good opportunity, I will invite them to Mass. Beforehand, I will explain some of the rituals so they feel more at home. Then afterwards I ask if there is anything more they want to know about. The key is letting the friend lead the way because once they feel "hungry" they will start their journey. They just need a companion to help.
