You know the verses about love in 1 Corinthians Ch. 13?  It’s the reading that you always hear at weddings.  St. Paul starts by saying, “...if I don’t have love I am a resounding gong and a clanging cymbal.”  1 Cor 13:1b

People speaking to Catholic audiences have a similar bar to hit - do we have love in our heart for the people God allows us to speak to?  And if we don't, how can we gain that love for them? 

In my conversation with Julianne Stanz, a world-class Catechist, she shares how to cultivate that love, but also how that love is evidenced in and through ‘encouragement’, which meant to literally ‘give heart’ to another.  This intentionality is so needed in our day. 

Story-teller, encourager and author, Julianne Stanz is the Director of Discipleship and Parish Life for the Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin and is a consultant to the USCCB Committee on Catechesis and Evangelization. She is the author of the books “Braving the Thin Places: Celtic Wisdom to Create a Space for Grace” and “Start with Jesus: How everyday disciples will renew the Church” published by Loyola Press.
