Pastor Letters - St. Therese, Little Flower Catholic Church

Evangelization is a work of helping others along the journey toward discipleship, toward knowing Christ Jesus and living for Him, or better yet, in Him. This is usually a process, that takes people through, as Sherry Weddell describes in her watershed book (Forming Intentional Disciples, 2012) five different "thresholds" of conversion. Trust leads to curiosity, to openness, to seeking (pursuing), to intentional discipleship. We need to journey with people through all these steps to lead them to decide to give themselves entirely to Christ, to choose a God-centered life. This is not easy, and it never happens overnight, even though we may tell stories that seem to suggest it does.
