Deepertruth: Stand In The Gap With Us And St. Charles Borromeo

Stand In The Gap With Us And St. Charles Borromeo 11/4/2023

St. Charles Borromeo was a leading figure during the Counter-Reformation period of the Church. In the wake of the Protestant Revolt which lead to the 40,000 plus non-Catholic churches today, Catholic Apologists like St. Charles Borromeo, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Philip Neri and many others held the line bringing back many to the Catholic Faith through Evangelism. For St. Charles, learning was very important to reach the masses. His call for Evangelization is a cry coming straight from the gospel.

“If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness. We must keep ourselves in the presence of God as much as possible and have no other view or end in all our actions but the divine honor.” (St. Charles Borromeo)

Evangelization is the call of all Christians who follow Christ in their daily walk.

This is central to our call to follow Christ. This is done primarily in how we live out our lives. Through our passion to follow Christ, we must live our lives accordingly.

We are known through three basic things.

1. We are known by what we say. Our words have impact.

2. We are known by what we do, does our actions speak our words.

3. We are known by the things we love. What is our passion. If following Christ is our passion, then our lives will reflect what we say and do.
