What are some efficent means to get a fallen away catholic to reconvert to the faith?

[blaskoman]

I know many friends and many relatives, as well as one sister who simply do not practice the catholic faith. In short, they are all baptized in into the catholic faith, but for whatever reason no longer practice the faith. Many are even quite hostile to many catholic doctrines, let alone their non-attendance at Holy Mass.

I have prayed for them, that they may reconvert. However, my prayers do not seem to be working. I do realize that my patience in relation to time is completely different as to how God gauges time–meaning that God answers prayers according to His own ultimate knowledge and necessity. Nevertheless, are there certain ways to evangelize in the short term that may bring about a more fruitful results?

Absolutely! Pray. and, be a good example of a happy, practicing Catholic! And, extend a weekly invitation to mass! Tell your family/ friends how happy it would make you if they joined you, even just once, for Sunday mass… the Holy Spirit might take it from there!
