I found myself relating very much to The Mediation of the Day found in the Magnificat for January 24th, 2021. It helped me understand perhaps the main frustration with trying to evangelize. We think we are doing it! It’s presumptuous of us; like the hammer and the chisel thinking they are the ones who create the statue.
“I have had much conversation and discussion with some dear friends who do not believe…. There is a veil between them and God, a veil that allows only a few rays of love and beauty through. Only God, with a divine gesture, may part this veil, and then the true life shall begin for them…I know that only God effects our intimate transformation and that we can only point out to him those we love, saying, ‘God, make them live.’…”
I think sometimes we can tell when the veil mentioned above has been parted and a person is open to evangelization. This why we should always be ready for this moment.
