In this meditation to High School students, Fr. Eric Nicolai mentions the early Christians, who suffered persecutions right from the start. The Lord sends us out into an apostolic dynamism, despite what it might cost us. Today polls show that Catholics are often afraid to share their faith, and are not ready to persuade others of their faith. Catholics are among the least likely to want to persuade others of there faith. The current situation of evangelization makes it more necessary than ever to give priority to personal contact. This relational aspect is at the heart of the mode of doing apostolate that St Josemaría found in the Gospel narratives.
