Imogen and Clare, I like your idea about trying to channel some of that missionary zeal as cradle Catholics. We can certainly be inspired by the good work and public defending converts do. Rhonda, I love that analogy... although maybe it's too flattering to cradle Catholics! :)Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797493386545660391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989033992988999073.post-74555756418429480152012-05-24T23:40:07.609-05:002012-05-24T23:40:07.609-05:00I'll take a stab (I'm a convert):

They feel incredibly blessed to have been brought to the Truth, and they want to make sure that no one else misses out.<br /><br />Zeal for souls is something we should all have... though it's great that you mentioned local evangelism. Jesus needs those home missionaries, too. <br /><br />God bless you!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297167286490109077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989033992988999073.post-14298153508813690112012-05-24T19:16:13.751-05:002012-05-24T19:16:13.751-05:00Maybe because for the new converts, the faith is s...Maybe because for the new converts, the faith is so fresh, it's so exciting. They've just got it and they want to share it with the world, like a great book or movie. Cradle Catholics have grown up with it, and while it's still beautiful and exciting, they know that there are other ways to share their faith.<br /><br />Just some thoughts. Maybe I, as a cradle Catholic, should get a little more vocal. Take a leaf out of the converts book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746017057593508370noreply@blogger.com
