The 99 provides a simple three-part system to assist you create an effective, continuing evangelization effort in your parish or community quickly and efficiently.
The 99's title alludes to the fable of the lost sheep. The excellent shepherd abandons the ninety-nine to find the one who has wandered away. How often do we consider ourselves to be among the ninety-nine? How frequently do we believe we are virtuous, on the right track, and secure?
But the truth is that we are the only ones. We've wandered off somewhere in our hearts. The good news is that the Lord pursues us on a daily basis.
All he asks is that we stop running. Allow him to catch us.
The 99 urges you to reflect on who you are. Are you one of the ninety-nine or the one?
Be the one and allow God to catch you. Allow him to transform your life with his love. Then bring that love to others. Bring it to those who have gone wandering themselves. Bring it to those in your life who need to hear that God loves them and that he is pursuing them.
Be the one, and then go and find the next one.
