Tuesday, October 4, 2011: (St. Francis of Assisi)
Jesus said: “My people, sometimes you see some empty seats at Mass in the church, and you complain where are the people who should be there? Some of your family members are not always coming to Sunday Mass, and they should be your responsibility to encourage them to attend or reconvert. I send all of My faithful out to evangelize souls to the faith. If you can bring some new people or your family to Sunday Mass, then you are building up My Church. Your numbers are falling because some people are lazy and their family is not inviting them to come. You cannot change people’s free will, but you can still pray for them, and nudge them along without nagging them. Instead of concerning yourself with offending someone, think more that you are trying to save that soul if there is any comment of criticism.”
