Ask God for BIG Things this Lent.

by 1 Comment

At the core of who we are, we are made for God.

#ShareJesus Sr. MiriamI hope your Lent is off to a great start. Ash Wednesday is only a beginning to what God wants to do in your life. He invites us to grow in relationship with him each day this Lent.

#ShareJesus is off to a great start. At the time of writing this email we are at over 60,000 views between Youtube and Facebook on our first #ShareJesus video. Great job getting the word out.  Keep it up and continue to look for ways to share about Jesus and your relationship with him on and offline.

If you are not familiar with Sr. Miriam Heidland SOLT, you are in for a treat today. Sr. Miriam challenges us to seek him, to ask God for big things, and to ask yourself what you are really longing for in your life.

Here’s a couple of posting ideas to accompany a share of the video (we highly recommend sharing the video from our page on Facebook instead of a youtube link because Facebook gives more play and attention to videos hosted on their networks):

  • What’s one thing you are asking God for this Lent?
  • What does it mean to seek God in your life?
  • God reveals himself through beauty.  How have you experienced this in your life?

On Twitter

  • RT our tweets
  • Today share the youtube link http://youtu.be/FKGHDhzMS2g along with something you are asking God for this Lent, or a way you are seeking God this Lent, and/or something that spoke to you from Sr. Miriam’s video.

Sharing offline

  • Ask someone you know who doesn’t go to church if there’s something you could pray for them for this Lent.
  • Share with a person a way you have tangibly experienced God in something beautiful.
  • Pray for those who you want to share the Lord with over Lent.

Let the Lord continue “to strip away your facades, your masks, and all the things that distract you from the hunger you have to encounter God.” Praying with you for an amazing Lent.

Your brother in Christ,

#ShareJesus Ash Wednesday with Fr. Leo Patalinghug

Fr Leo ShareJesus

Lent literally means a “springtime” and our prayer is that you will have the most amazing springtime this Lent because you will be inspired to encounter Jesus in new ways but even more so, you will be challenged to #ShareJesus in new ways. Please join us in praying today that God will work powerfully through #ShareJesus.

As promised, here is your first video featuring Fr. Leo Patalinghug but below you have the link to video on Facebook. Remember, the challenge is not to just watch the videos. The goal is to watch the video, pray about it, and share about Jesus in a relevant way today with your friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc both on and off social media.

The videos for the week all look towards the Gospel reading for this Sunday so you’ll also be more engaged at Mass on Sunday with the readings.

Below the video you will find ideas for sharing online on different networks and some ideas for sharing offline as well. Think of the videos and the ideas as prompts to give you inspiration to share your story.

  • Invite someone to come with you to church today.
  • Pray for those you want to share the Lord with over Lent.
  • Have at least one conversation where you tell someone a little bit about your relationship with God.

Change doesn’t usually happen instantly so don’t get discouraged this Lent. God wants to speak to you personally over the whole season of Lent. Be available to the Lord and he will use you to #ShareJesus. Thanks so much for your prayers for myself and all speakers who are a part of this journey as well.

God bless you, your family and your Lent!
