Christ. ! 2. Invite a friend to Mass: A personal invitation is always welcoming. Make it a morning and attend coffee and donuts in Bradley Hall after Mass! ! 3. Be a joyful, generous and forgiving person: Look for opportunities to exercise mercy and kindness. “This is how all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another .” John 13:35 ! 4. Share the Good News of the Gospel: Emphasize the joy in the here and now of living the Gospel. "Faith is a flame that grows stronger the more it is shared and passed on.” Pope Francis ! 5. Read Scripture: Read and reflect on the scripture readings of the day. Read and reflect on the Gospel before going to Mass on Sunday. Let the living Word of God be part of your daily life. The readings of the day can be found at www.usccb.org. ! 6. Live a Sacramental Life: Catholic prayer reaches its fullest communal expression in the sacraments. The sacraments are encounters with the risen Lord and unite us with one another. Participation in a deep sacra- mental life is both personal prayer and public witness. ! 7. Share your personal story : What do you love about your faith? Who are your favorite saints and why? What are the joys you experience through your faith? These stories can all be easily shared. “A story can sing the truth and not just tell it.” Bishop Robert Barron ! 8. Introduce yourself to someone new at Mass : Maybe it’s someone you see each week or maybe just a visitor, but say “Hello” and introduce yourself. It’s a great way to get to know your church “family.” ! ! 9. Listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit : When you're unsure about whether or not to say something about your faith, say a prayer and check in with God. You will be offered the right direction and words to say (Mark 13:11). ! 10. Pray : Yes, pray some more! Make it a daily habit to pray as you drive to work, as you walk into the office or even as you cook a meal.

Spadano, Ed.D.* Associate Professor of Education, Rivier University Massive crowds at the Panama City Mall. Our first exposure to the MANY nations that attended World Youth Day Panama 2019. A pilgrimage to Panama… From January 21 through January 28, World Youth Day (WYD) 2019 was held in Panama City, Panama. World Youth Day (actually a week) is an international event promoted by the Catholic Church. In 1984-1985, Pope John Paul II was inspired to create this religious event with the vision that young people from around the world would converge on a host city without barriers of race, culture, or social class. Copyright © 2019 by Joseph W. Spadano. Published by Rivier University, with permission. 1 ISSN 1559-9388 (online version), ISSN 1559-9396 (CD-ROM version). Joseph W. Spadano Ten Rivier University pilgrims attended this popular celebration, trekking to and traveling through World Youth Day events in Panama City. With the coordinated efforts of Rivier University’s Office of Global Engagement, three chaperones and seven students were sent on a pilgrimage from northeastern North America to the southernmost country in Central America to share faith experiences with young people from all corners of the world. For the Office of Global Engagement, the world is its classroom… The Office of Global Engagement (OGE) provides its participants with opportunities for a valuable, experiential education through learning experiences that include immersion in culture, language, and customs. These OGE opportunities involve trips to different destinations throughout the whole world.
