Why is everything so obviously messed up? Chapter Three shines light on why things are not as they should be, and identifies the one and only enemy of the human race.

“The sight of these happy creatures filled the devil and his fallen angels with anger and envy. They took thought as to how they might mar the work of God and destroy the destiny of this newly created race. They set about to enslave those whom they had been meant to serve and to degrade those who had been assigned such an exalted place into the lowly slime beneath their feet.”

With unshakable confidence in Jesus, we exist to recapture the original mission of the Church to rescue, renew, and transform the human family into the family of God.

WHO IS ACTS XXIX?

Based on our most recently released prayer journal, this new series hosted by Fr. John Riccardo and Mary Guilfoyle was created to accompany and further equip leaders in forever changing the way we make decisions. In this series, we explore together how to remove obstacles to true discernment and establish the essential ways for praying together, all in order to restore the initiative to God—whether in diocesan offices, parish teams, apostolates, or family life.

Speak, Lord: The Art of Synodality

创造。捕获。营救。回应。[https://RescueProject.us/chinese]
我们坚信，最紧迫的任务是令人信服地宣扬福音，不仅要以一种有吸引力和集中的方式分享福音，还要为人们提供一种看待现实的方式，以及理解与我们现代文化所讲述的故事截然不同的世界、历史和生活的方式。

在此之前，基督教信仰通常被视为一套规则和纪律，而仅仅去教堂不太可能引导一个人踏上追随耶稣并继续他拯救这个世界的使命的伟大冒险。

The Third Essential Principle

Criado. Capturado. Resgatado. Resposta. [https://RescueProject.us/resgate]
Acreditamos apaixonadamente que a tarefa mais urgente é a proclamação convincente do evangelho, que não apenas o compartilhe de uma forma atraente - e concentrada, mas que também ofereça às pessoas uma maneira de ver a realidade e de dar sentido ao mundo, história e vida que é muito diferente da história que nossa cultura moderna conta.

Até que isso aconteça, a fé cristã é muitas vezes vivida como um mero conjunto de regras e disciplinas, e simplesmente ir à Igreja não é susceptível de levar uma pessoa a embarcar na grande aventura que é seguir Jesus e continuar a Sua missão de resgatar este mundo.

Episode 49: Be Not Afraid: That None Should Be Lost

El capítulo siete nos recuerda que por muy importante que pueda ser un argumento convincente, hay algo — Alguien — necesario para moverme a rendirme.

“Es el Espíritu Santo, por lo tanto, quien inculca el sentimiento de la filiación divina en el corazón, quien nos hace sentir (¡no solo saber!) que somos hijos de Dios. El Espíritu mismo se une a nuestro espíritu para dar testimonio de que somos hijos de Dios (Romanos 8:16). Esta obra fundamental del Espíritu Santo a veces tiene lugar de manera repentina e intensa en la vida de una persona…Con motivo de un retiro… o con ocasión de la oración por una nueva liberación del Espíritu, el alma se llena de una nueva luz en la que Dios se revela de alguna manera como Padre…. Se experimenta un sentimiento de gran confianza y un sentido completamente nuevo de la condescendencia de Dios. En otras ocasiones, en cambio, esta revelación del Padre va acompañada de un sentimiento tan fuerte de la majestad y trascendencia de Dios que el alma se siente abrumada”. – Raniero Cantalamessa, Vida en el Señorío de Cristo

C7 - Las palabras no son suficientes

El capítulo cinco se dirige a Jesús y le pregunta: “¿Era simplemente un hombre sabio, amable y bueno, o vino a rescatarnos de poderes contra los cuales nunca podríamos competir por nuestra cuenta?”

“Señor Dios Todopoderoso, que envió a tu Hijo Unigénito para dotar a la humanidad, encarcelada en la esclavitud del Pecado, con la libertad de Tus hijos e hijas, oramos muy humildemente por estos niños, que sabes que experimentarán los encantos de este mundo, y lucharán contra las trampas del diablo: por el poder de la Pasión y Resurrección de tu Hijo líbralos ahora de la mancha del Pecado Original, fortalecerlos con la gracia de Cristo, y custodiarlos siempre en su camino por la vida.” – Ritual Bautismal de la Iglesia Católica

C5 - ¿Qué ha hecho Dios al respecto?

What does it mean to say, “Love listens?” According to Acts XXIX Founder Fr. John Riccardo, God says, “To say love listens, means God listens. Think for a moment, what is the cry of your heart right now? Forget the world because God hears it. But He doesn’t just hear, He does something. And as he does so we must.”
