Testimonies Arise
The Catholic Friends group on the Multiply network has set up a place where members are encouraged to post personal testimonies about their faith life.
“We are starting a Sharing Group within Personal Testimony Corner… Once a week [they] are going to post a blog on some spiritual topic based on a Bible Reading. We would love [members] not only to treat it as another regular blog entry, but as something addressed personally to each of you. We would love to encourage each of you to SHARE a bit of your spiritual life with all of us in the comments – all to edify one another, to learn from one another how to better respond to God’s calling in our lives.
“Thus, in the comments to each ’sharing group ‘ post write something personal about yourself with reference to our sharing question. Try to enrich others who are going to read your comment by being honest and natural, even if you do not always have too much to ‘boast about’.”
“Maybe there was a ‘turning point’ in your faith. Or a person whose faith made you realize you were missing something they had. Sometimes a trip to a shrine, or a parish mission brings a person to a new level. Reading a life of a saint, or another good book might be life changing. Sadly, even the death, or loss, of a loved one can be a spiritual catalyst, the kind of thing to share as a testimony …”
