E-mail Evangelization

I don't know how often you get e-mails that ask you to say a prayer then pass it on, but I get them pretty frequently. They are usually distinctly protestant - we Catholics are pretty lax, on the whole, when it comes to proselytizing. Recently, however, I decided to tweak them before passing them on. Instead of just saying, "Offer a prayer and then forward," I add a small teaching and an actual prayer to say. The way I see that as more Catholic is that it gives greater substance to the missive, just as the Mass gives greater substance by its very nature.

The one I got today had the above picture and was of the "Jesus Walking" variety of these e-mails. The things I added didn't take much time to add, but might give it greater meaning to someone down the line. To show you what I mean, below is the text of what I sent out - the word in blue are what I added.

I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYONE ELSE I WANTED MORE TO HAVE THIS MAN TO BE KNOCKING AT THEIR DOOR

-----------------Picture that is above placed here--------------------

HE ARRIVED THIS MORNING, WE HAD PRAYER, SPENT SOME TIME JUST TALKING, AND THEN, HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO YOUR HOUSE.
When he gets to your PC, escort him to the next stop. Please don't allow him to sleep on your PC.
The message he is carrying is very important and needs to go round.
He has come to offer eternal life born of love, paid for by His supreme sacrifice! Christ's mercy is a gift which cannot be earned -- yet it only need be accepted by us!!!

May God bless you as you do this - AMEN

Walking for Jesus!

Pray this prayer:

Admirable is the Name of God. May it always be on my mind, as Jesus' name rests upon my lips, and the Holy Spirit's fills my heart. I pray that in all things I am open to the voice of my Lord and ask for the grace of capably sharing Him with those around me. I ask this, as the bible teaches us to ask for all things, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

then pass him on to bless others. Our assignment is to love and spread the gospel throughout the world.
Have a blessed day and touch somebody's life today!
I just did. He's walking around the world - via e-mail!!
Pass it on so he can get there.
When you forward, put where he left in the subject box.
