5. 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.

6. Other opportunities to
deepen our faith . . .
