Inspired by today's Gospel, where Mary Magdelene has an angelic encounter before seeing Jesus, Gus asks listeners if they've ever had an angelic encounter.
Also, Gus continues to welcome, on the air, newly-minted Catholics who were baptized and confirmed at the Easter Vigil mass.
I wanted to call in today about feeling an encounter with God. I am a daily Mass participant and usually hear this part on a rerun. I had an encounter about 8 years ago where I was heading into the Rectory in our Parish and a man was leaving the Rectory. I said hello and he responded telling me he was in need and the Rectory said the outreach was closed and he really needed help. At 1st I was a little worried but we got to talking and his wife was pregnant and he was out of work. He had an interview but didn’t have gas in the car to go to the interview. I really felt like God arranged for me to be going to the Rectory just as this man was leaving. I filled up his car with Gas and wished him luck with the interview. He hugged me and told me I was an Angel God sent him. I truly believe it was a designed meeting by God. I only hope I did all I could in God’s eyes.
