A Baptist Friend

[uruviel]

I have a baptist friend, and I have tried to explain to her more about catholisism, but she just says that she's open to every religion, and I know that if she really truely devoted herself to learning the truth, she would be at home, and at peace, and would convert, but I don't know how to tell her that, without scaring her away. And, I can tell, that she tries to act as if she's just looking for a religion to believe in, but I know she's looking for an answer, because something is missing, God is calling her, but I can't find the right words to lead her to him, and I feel that I am God's instrument to help her. She just needs something to believe in, like God, and when I talk to her, I am again surprised how anyone can live without Him in your life,
any advice would be appreciated,

the best way you can witness as a Catholic, especially to someone like your friend, is by example. she needs to know that you go to mass every sunday, and you say your prayers at night, and that you are in love with your faith. she needs to see that you are excited to be a Catholic, and that there is something about the Catholic life that is appealing. so, pray to God that he will bring YOU closer to Him, b/c that will be the best way for Him to use you to bring her closer to Him as well.
