Little Flower Men’s Night Reflection . . . Why are we Catholic? Are we prepared to defend Catholicism at any moment? The Eucharist = The True Presence Mary’s role in the Salvation Story and in the Catholic Church How do we share our faith with Protestants? With other religions? Scripture and Tradition do go together. Apologetics is about the mind, but more so about the heart Be willing to do something, to act, to take the risk.

Other opportunities to deepen our faith . . .
