Don't worry. Busy decoding "Matchett-PI".

***Look what happens when you translate "Jay Em Jay Three Three Three (jmj333)" into Spanish, back into English then into German and back into English:***

I think that is illegal in most states. :-)

"live your faith"

I thoroughly agree with you. You can set a fine example,eg. when attending Mass to refrain from carrying on a conversation with your friends while the priest is delivering the homily. By remaining in your seat untill the priest leaves the altar. Too many times I have observed people trying to race the priest to the doors. Genuflecting when entering the pew; many times they are observed, walking in and sitting down with nary a sign of the cross. You'd think they were waiting for the pop corn and movie to come on..Not realizing the greatest mystery of our faith will shortly take place at the altar and that we all should reverently participate and pay homage to the Lord our God.

For everyone:

Evangelization in the Catholic Church is alive and well: Redemptoris Missio.

I agree. Our good manners in church need to return.

Our priest has called for it and it is returning. He is from Sri Lanka and is on fire with bringing people to Jesus through evangelization! God bless him!

Great ideas. Thanks, I'll be leaving books on my desk at work I think, too.

Too bad there weren't any smart Catholics around to teach Paul about the 12 Painless Ways to Evangelize!

Thankfully, Jesus was around to knock Paul off that horse, so he would stop persecuting Christians! But why should he bother the work of evangelizing if he had faith?

[JMJ333]

Or why bother evangelizing those who are "damned from conception?"
