Raised a catholic he does not practice his faith.
In college I would invite him to mass and confession. He would never come.
He asks me not to send him religious things by email, yet I sometimes still do.
I had made for him a rosary with big black beads. Beautiful. I prayed a novena to our lady and to our lord's divine mercy. With my wife we prayed.
I wanted to tell him all the praying I did for him. But quitely, as he put on his jacket to leave our gathering, I handed him a box with the rosary inside and smiled. I'm sure he sensed it was something religious because he sighed or I should say groaned.
Please keep praying for him.
I'll update here if he shows any sign of conversion, but in the 16 or so years I have known him, he has never shown interest in the faith.
This one is going to be a tough nut to crack.
