Should this be more than doing good works?
Is it required if me in my current state if life (a single lay person) to talk about Jesus?
How should I do this?
 
An often overlooked approach to evangelization…really apostolate…is sincere, slow, generous friendship. Be a better friend. Becoming better to be a better friend. Slowly growing your friendships. Matters of the soul are the most intimate. Friendship…not instrumentalized friendship…but sincere friendship is required.

Acquaintances tend to have superficial conversation.
Friends have substantial conversations
Real friends can have supernatural conversations.
 
First, live the faith. Don’t just give it “lip service.” Believe me most people can tell the difference. So lead by example. Of course daily prayer and attending Mass is paramount.

Second, be prepared to defend the faith should cause arise. It could be someone quoting scripture and explaining it in a way that is erroneous. Do you know scripture well enough to defend it, explain it, and provide solid examples to others.

Other actions may be as simple as wearing modest clothing, wearing a crucifix or sharing how God has helped you in difficult times. I have to say though, remember that actions speak a whole lot louder than words. All the pious speeches and outward activities mean nothing, if you simply turn around and sin constantly, violate the commandments and are abusive, violent, impatient with others.

A daily examination of conscience in light of the Commandments and teachings of the Church is a helpful way to monitor your progress. Good luck.

Live the Gospel. See Jesus in everyone you meet.
 
Jesus is already with them. And, with your help, they may open their eyes.

Often, as one poster has said, this takes patience, compassion, and friendship. Follow the words Jesus has taught us. Live by his example. Allow the light of the Lord to shine positively within your life and serve as a testament to the joy He brings!

There is something contagious about joy, contentment, and love. People want it. They long for it. They desire it. Show those forms of happiness in your life and proclaim the origin from which all good things come.
 
Or as St. Francis says: Preach the Gospel, use words if necessary.
Caution: Be innocent as a dove and as wise as a serpent.

The world is filled with wolves. :eek:

It may be safer and good to join Catholic charity organizations. 😉
