Past Participants' Testimony
“I find myself living with a presence of Jesus in my life more than ever.”
“Growing up I went to Catholic School. I felt I was a good Catholic. Reality was, deep down I knew I longed for a relationship with Jesus. The kind of relationship I saw my sister in law have with him. My life has completely changed since Discovering Christ. Jesus is the center of my world now. I smile whenever I am asked about Discovering Christ because for the first time in my life, I am at peace.”
“I loved the relaxed atmosphere and the wonderful feeling of community.”
PRAYER FOR DISCOVERING CHRIST
Heavenly Father, you formed us and you know us, teach us how to pray.
Come to our aid in our weaknesses. You who love all and sustain all, probe the hearts of those farthest from you and lead them to an encounter with you.
Use us, Jesus, as your messengers.
Guide us, Father, to speak your truth with compassion and clarity.
Fill us Holy Spirit, so we may know and act according to the will of God.
Mother Mary, pray for us, as we strive to serve as ambassadors for your son.
All holy men and women, pray for us, as we respond to the Lord’s invitation to proclaim the Good News.
Holy Father, we are your children, but we know that there are many people in our communities who don’t know they have a Heavenly Father. We pray you would guide them to come to these Discovering Christ sessions, and that you would soften their hearts to receive the truth of your love. We ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.
