Witnessing in a Secular World - Auspice Maria Episode 16 with Bishop James Ruggieri

Auspice Maria with Bishop James Ruggieri

"When we think about evangelization, we might first think of arguments, catechism classes, or homilies. These are all important, but none of them bear fruit without joy." In this episode, Bishop Ruggieri emphasizes that joy is the mark of a Christian alive in the Spirit. Not to be confused with happiness or pleasure, true joy comes from the Holy Spirit. In a divided, cynical world, joy outshines fear. Listen to this episode for practical advice on how to live your faith joyfully in daily life.
