 My name is Andrei Rene, and I'm from Canada. I'm the founder of a movement called Catholic Christian Outreach, which is basically a university student movement that is dedicated to evangelization, to going out and finding those Catholics who have wandered away and to bring them back by introducing them to the person of Jesus Christ, inviting them to open their heart to Him, and that conversion that they experience opens their eyes to the wonders and the beauty of the Catholic Church. Now, this idea of encounter, it's intriguing for most Catholics that we can have a relationship with Christ. For most Catholics, this has eluded them. They're aware of doctrine and devotion. What's missing in the middle is this relationship. Now, there's been a lot of talk about this encounter, this having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, conversion, and intimacy with God. What do we really mean by that? If we encounter God, how do we know that we've encountered God? Or if we haven't encountered God, we're asking the question, how do I encounter Him? If it's an experience, how do I experience that? It's a question we need to be able to answer because many of our brothers and sisters have wandered away because they haven't had this encounter. They're not experiencing this personal relationship. So if they're on the outside looking in and they're asking the question, okay, how do I experience this? We need to have an answer. There's much that could be said, and we need to talk about this, how we can encounter the systematic experience of encounter. How does it happen? We need to have this discussion. I would like to suggest that the very center of it, the critical point of it all, is actually choice, making a choice, us choosing, using our free will to say, yes, I want this relationship because that's the nature of relationship, isn't it? If I come to you and I say, I really care for you, I'm attracted to you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I can keep saying these beautiful words to you and let you know that I love you, but eventually for love to experience its purpose is that you need to respond. In a concrete way, you have to say, I love you back. I can't just assume because I say good things to you and I say I love you that somehow you're responding by loving me back. Love needs a response and I think at the heart of evangelization and inviting those Catholics who have wandered away, who want to encounter, experience this personal relationship, that we need to invite them into this decision, the activation of free will in their lives and saying, yes, I hear that you love me God, I want to love you back, I open up my heart, my life to you.
