Walk with One & Invite One Back

WALK WITH ONE INITIATIVE

Everyone can Evangelize.

In the Scriptures, we hear over and over how Jesus invited people one by one to follow him. He also invites us to follow him more deeply and, just like him, to “walk with one” (or more) persons to a new or renewed experience of God’s love. Evangelization, or “bringing the Good News,” typically happens in one-on-one moments that are not planned or scripted. This can happen at the grocery store, the bus stop, or a sporting event.

There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to call to himself. He wants to spark a relationship with them and bless them with his sacraments. In this Year of Mission, Catholics are saying “yes” to a special form of heart-to-heart accompaniment called the Walk With One initiative. This is your opportunity to be God’s instrument in the life of another person. Imagine how our families, neighborhoods, and country will be transformed if every active Catholic answers this call!

Here’s a simple four-stage process of accompaniment that focuses on a “heart-to-heart” approach:

1. Identify someone in a spirit of humility
2. Intercede for that person in communion with the Holy Spirit
3. Connect in Eucharistic friendship
4. Invite that person on a path most suitable for him or her

INVITE ONE BACK INITIATIVE

For those who have not already recently implemented this iniative….

“Returning fallen-away members to the fold will set the groundwork for this new missionary chapter. The goal of this initiative is to fill the pews again. To do that, we all need to invite back everyone who has left in a way that makes sure they feel seen and desired as an individual member of your parish family. Whom are you called to invite home?” 

In case you missed this, here are the National Eucharistic Revival resources for inviting people back to Mass include sample:
