comes to inspiring others to be witnesses for Christ, we often wait for someone else to make a path. We think we need a detailed plan before attempting to do the work of a disciple. But the reality is, God provides the grace when we put out our hands to be led. He will show us the way — if we first say, “Here I am, send me!” (Is 6:8).</p> <p>St. Philip Neri, a renowned 16th-century Italian priest, began his ministry while still a layman by going out into the streets of Rome and striking up conversations with everyone he met. It was an informal, perhaps imperfect, way to rouse despondent people to the ardor of the Catholic faith. Cardinal John Henry Newman said of St. Philip, “Whatever was exact and systematic pleased him not.” But that did not mean he was any less serious or committed to winning souls for Christ.</p> <p>St. Philip would often ask, “Well brothers, when shall we begin to do good?” The implication was clear: There is no time like the present to evangelize. You don’t need permission or approval. Just ask for the grace, take courage, and begin. Half the battle is won just by showing up.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>*****</em></p> <p>Rob Marco is the author of <em>Wisdom and Folly: Essays on Faith, Life, and Everything in Between </em>(2024)<em> </em>and<em> Coached by Philip Neri: Lessons in Joy </em>(2025)<em>. </em>A married father of three children, he is a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Council 12374 in Wilmington, Del.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> </section> <section class="col-article__related-articles bg-colorExtraLightGrey"> <section class="article-card-block container"> <section class="article-card-block__title content-grid"> <h1 class="article-card-block__title__text grid-col-full text-left">Related Articles</h1> </section> <section class="article-card-block__cards content-grid"> <div class="article-card"> <div class="article-card__image"> <a href="/family/leadership/2026/01/baptized-to-lead/"> <picture><source srcset="https://files.kofc.org/images/assets/Business+Leader+Reflecting.jpg/Zz0zZjE5NTllOGVjMGUxMWYwOTkwMGI2MGE3OWUyZjUwNw==?width=318&height=212" /><img src="https://files.kofc.org/images/assets/Business+Leader+Reflecting.jpg/Zz0zZjE5NTllOGVjMGUxMWYwOTkwMGI2MGE3OWUyZjUwNw==?width=318&height=212" alt="FG Trade / iStock via Getty Images" loading="lazy" decoding="auto" width="318" height="212" /></picture> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details"> <div class="article-card__details__category"> <a href="/family/leadership/"> <h3>Leadership</h3> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__title"> <a href=/family/leadership/2026/01/baptized-to-lead/> <h2>Baptized To Lead</h2> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__title-mobile"> <a href=/family/leadership/2026/01/baptized-to-lead/> <h2>Baptized To Lead</h2> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__by-line"> <p>By Cristofer Pereyra</p> </div> <div class="article-card__details__teaser"> <p></p> </div> <div class="article-card__details__teaser-mobile"> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="article-card"> <div class="article-card__image"> <a href="/family/leadership/2025/12/bear-one-anothers-burdens/"> <picture><source srcset="https://files.kofc.org/images/assets/DomesticChurch_Leadership.jpg/Zz00ZmZhOGQ3MGNmYWYxMWYwOTg1YzM2ZjJhODgyZjU3NA==?width=318&height=212" /><img src="https://files.kofc.org/images/assets/DomesticChurch_Leadership.jpg/Zz00ZmZhOGQ3MGNmYWYxMWYwOTg1YzM2ZjJhODgyZjU3NA==?width=318&height=212" alt="DomesticChurch_Leadership.jpg" loading="lazy" decoding="auto" width="318" height="212" /></picture> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details"> <div class="article-card__details__category"> <a href="/family/leadership/"> <h3>Leadership</h3> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__title"> <a href=/family/leadership/2025/12/bear-one-anothers-burdens/> <h2>Bear One Another’s Burdens</h2> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__title-mobile"> <a href=/family/leadership/2025/12/bear-one-anothers-burdens/> <h2>Bear One Another’s Burdens</h2> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__by-line"> <p>By David Kimbell</p> </div> <div class="article-card__details__teaser"> <p></p> </div> <div class="article-card__details__teaser-mobile"> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="article-card"> <div class="article-card__image"> <a href="/family/leadership/2025/11/failure-is-not-an-option/"> <picture><source srcset="https://files.kofc.org/images/assets/Domestic+Church+Leadership+GettyImages-1355037936-sRGB-small.jpg/57cbfa5eb0ea11f096474ebbc80d9d2d?width=318&height=212" /><img src="https://files.kofc.org/images/assets/Domestic+Church+Leadership+GettyImages-1355037936-sRGB-small.jpg/57cbfa5eb0ea11f096474ebbc80d9d2d?width=318&height=212" alt="Domestic Church Leadership GettyImages-1355037936-sRGB-small.jpg" loading="lazy" decoding="auto" width="318" height="212" /></picture> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details"> <div class="article-card__details__category"> <a href="/family/leadership/"> <h3>Leadership</h3> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__title"> <a href=/family/leadership/2025/11/failure-is-not-an-option/> <h2>Failure Is Not an Option</h2> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__title-mobile"> <a href=/family/leadership/2025/11/failure-is-not-an-option/> <h2>Failure Is Not an Option</h2> </a> </div> <div class="article-card__details__by-line"> <p>By Daniel J.
