Carrying the Real Presence of Jesus: an Evangelizing Encounter This video is the outcome of a project intended to create digital content capturing real world experiences of EMHCs who take Holy Communion to those in hospitals, Independent & Assisted Living facilities, Skilled Nursing facilities, and hospice facilities. The hope is that it will be used to evangelize the power of the real Presence of Jesus Christ across all social media platforms and Eucharistic Revival websites. The goal is to evangelize the power of the Eucharist, but also to provide via the associated project plan a template for other Eucharistic Revival teams to use/copy. Much of the future evangelization will be in the digital world, and we need to help our young Catholics become a powerful force who can evangelize in the digital world in ways older generations cannot. Although the video is not Hollywood grade, this evangelization project took four team members about 50 hours to complete. It was done with a simple video camera, a PC, and software. The key is that our young adults loved doing this project, and it gave them inclusion, accountability, and responsibility in decision-making. We feel strongly that we need to help our young Catholics become a powerful force who can evangelize in the digital world the way older generations cannot. As we look five to ten years from now, the new frontier of evangelization will be primarily digital, and our old analog practices will be obsolete and ineffective. (It won’t be long until “us” Baby Boomers are gone, so we will need to fill the pipeline now with young people.)  Further, we truly believe this project aligns directly with the work the Synod on Synodality defines as “Mission in the Digital Environment” which was described in the National Catholic Register article on March 15, 2024. https://lnkd.in/ecAiYegS

🌟 Building a Culture of Encouragement 🌟 One of the greatest gifts we can offer each other in our church communities is encouragement. "Shepherding the Flock: Transforming the People of God into a Community of Care and Encouragement" by Paul A. Blake provides insightful guidance on how to cultivate a supportive and uplifting environment. This book explores the power of encouragement and its profound impact on spiritual growth. It teaches us how to build a culture where encouragement is a natural and consistent part of our interactions. By doing so, we can help each other overcome challenges, grow in faith, and experience the love of Christ more deeply. Imagine a church where every member feels valued and empowered, where each person is encouraged to use their gifts and talents to serve others. This is the vision "Shepherding the Flock" helps us to realize. Let's work together to make this vision a reality, one encouraging word and action at a time. Get your copy today and start your journey towards creating a community of encouragement and care.
