What are the Best Ways to Do It?

[Captain_America]

I’m called to bring in 6 people into the church. What’s the best way to do this?

–I would rather bring in persons who are not already Christian.

What tips or suggestions or advice do you have?

Where are you getting this “calling” from?

It’s not really up to any of us to lead people to the Church. You can be an influence, but it’s the Holy Spirit who draws someone to Christ.

I’m afraid I’m with TheRealJuliane here ~~ who is telling you to bring 6 people into the church? And if no one is telling you to do that, where is this coming from? (Just out of curiosity!)

Um. God. It’s a recurrent thing.

AND OF COURSE, I’m not the motivating cause, but would hopefully be an adjunct to it.

Easy: the best way is the one that brings them into the Church !!!
Only you know each of them and how to persuade them !!!
On the contrary of other post, you are doing good, very good, on trying.
Now, each case is a case: you may beg, order, invite for a lunch, persuade, blackmail, pay, cry, put on your knees, and so long as long as you get what you want.
Lest anybody say I am crazy, this advice was taken (adapted) from St. Paul…

Blessed Jacinta, one of the visionaries in Fatima, had such a fierce desire to win souls for Jesus that even as the little child she was, she would constantly pray and make sacrifices for souls. The visions Our Lady showed to the children of the sufferings of hell had a profound affect on her psyche and was expressed in her actions. She only lived a couple years after the visions, offering up her final sacrifice of having to die alone in a ospital far from her home and family.

Point is, Our Lord does give some people a deep desire to draw souls to Himself. St. Therese of Lisieux is another example – “There is only one thing to do her below: to love Jesus, to win souls for Him that He may be loved.”

I have known and worked with so many children and families, and I don’t want a single one of them to be separated from God for all eternity. So my longing is to bring thousands of souls to heaven with me!

So how do we win souls for Christ?

Prayer
Sacrifice
Example
Prayer
Loving serrvice
Prayer
Frequent reception of the sacraments
Prayer
Sacrifice
Personal sanctification
Prayer

If you are committed that you must actually know the people benefitting from your prayers, and that you must actually know in this lifetime that they have converted – well, I can’t help you with that.

Remember that St. Monica didn’t learn that her son (St. Augustine, Doctor of the Church) had converted until just before her death! St. Therese, as a cloistered nun, had no confirmation in her lifetime that her simple life of prayer and mundane sacrifices had actually helped a single soul! Yet the affects of her powerful intercession brought about her canonization less than 30 years after her death.

Six souls, twelve souls, two hundred souls – it doesn’t matter.

“There is only one thing to do here below: to love Jesus, to win souls for Him that He may be loved.” What matters is that your focus in on Christ alone. Christ. Alone.

God bless you.
