By Br. Lawrence Mary, M.I.C.M., Tert.

Theme: The Catholic Reconquest: Motives, Models, and Methods

Title: On Being a Tertiary in the World

This talk goes into how to live an apostolic life in the world. He emphasizes that the work of conversion belongs to "Our Lady" and that individuals are merely her instruments, requiring prayer, patience, and faithfulness. Brother Lawrence shares personal anecdotes of his "little way," which involves creating opportunities for conversations about faith in everyday settings like work and family gatherings. He advocates for a gentle, one-on-one approach, building trust before directly discussing dogma, rather than engaging in aggressive debates. Ultimately, the talk is a guide for lay Catholics on how to quietly and persistently plant seeds of faith, leaving the results of conversion to God's timing and grace.
