Based on our most recently released prayer journal, this new series hosted by Fr. John Riccardo and Mary Guilfoyle was created to accompany and further equip leaders in forever changing the way we make decisions. In this series, we explore together how to remove obstacles to true discernment and establish the essential ways for praying together, all in order to restore the initiative to God—whether in diocesan offices, parish teams, apostolates, or family life.

The Rescue Project (multiple languages)

创造。捕获。营救。回应。[https://RescueProject.us/chinese]
我们坚信，最紧迫的任务是令人信服地宣扬福音，不仅要以一种有吸引力和集中的方式分享福音，还要为人们提供一种看待现实的方式，以及理解与我们现代文化所讲述的故事截然不同的世界、历史和生活的方式。

在此之前，基督教信仰通常被视为一套规则和纪律，而仅仅去教堂不太可能引导一个人踏上追随耶稣并继续他拯救这个世界的使命的伟大冒险。

Running Rescue (multiple languages)

Erstellt. Gefangen. Rettung. Antwort. [https://RescueProject.us/german]
Wir glauben leidenschaftlich, dass die dringendste Aufgabe die überzeugende Verkündigung des Evangeliums ist, eine Verkündigung, die es nicht nur auf attraktive – und konzentrierte – Weise verbreitet, sondern den Menschen auch die Möglichkeit bietet, die Realität zu sehen und der Welt einen Sinn zu geben. Geschichte und Leben, die sich stark von der Geschichte unterscheiden, die unsere moderne Kultur erzählt.

Solange dies nicht geschieht, wird der christliche Glaube oft nur als eine Reihe von Regeln und Disziplinen erlebt, und der bloße Besuch der Kirche wird einen Menschen wahrscheinlich nicht dazu verleiten, sich auf das große Abenteuer einzulassen, das darin besteht, Jesus nachzufolgen und seine Mission der Erlösung fortzusetzen diese Welt.

Créé. Saisi. Sauvé. Une Réponse. [https://RescueProject.us/sauvetage]
Nous croyons que la tâche la plus urgente est la proclamation de l'Évangile. Cette annonce doit être faite de manière attrayante, en proposant une manière de voir la réalité et en donnant un sens au monde, à l’histoire et à la vie qui soit différent de ce que la culture moderne nous propose.

Pour le moment, la foi chrétienne est souvent vécue comme une accumulation de règles et de disciplines et le simple fait d'aller à l'Église a peu de chance de pousser quelqu’un à s’engager dans la grande aventure qui consiste à suivre Jésus et à continuer sa mission de salut pour le monde.
