Share it with the people who need to hear it, clearly and honestly

Keep it to yourself until you feel completely certain no one will question you

Talk about it only in general spiritual terms, without naming Jesus

Wait for someone else to bring up faith before you mention what happened

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and I need your mercy. I turn from my sin and from trying to save myself. I believe you died for me and rose again. I want to know you as my Lord and Savior. Forgive me, make me new, and lead my life from this day on. Amen.

Receive the Living Lord

Lord, revive your Church with fresh awe in the risen Christ. Give us Mary’s honesty, joy, and courage; make us quick to tell the truth about Jesus and slow to keep it to ourselves. Awaken us so that our lives and words point others to the living Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Your Church to Speak

Thank God for: Jesus being alive; the faithful witness of Mary Magdalene; the comfort that the Lord still makes himself known; the joy of sharing good news with others.

Thanksgiving for the Risen Lord

Pray by naming one person you want to tell, ask God for a clear and loving way to speak, and ask for the courage to do it soon.

Ask for Courage to Tell

Pray for: someone who needs hope about Jesus; open ears for the message; opportunities to speak with kindness and truth.

For Those Who Need to Hear

Father, make me a faithful witness. Give me Mary’s readiness to speak, a truthful tongue, and a heart that is not ashamed to share what you have shown me. Teach me to tell the news about Jesus with grace, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Me a Faithful Witness
