Speaking God Language

In this age of materialism, secularism, relativism, and technology, "God Language" is as much needed now as it was in the days of the early Church, when the Disciples of the Risen Jesus found themselves trying to articulate the experience that had changed their lives, and explain by word and deed how others might latch on to this new "Way." They spoke a language that did not "fit" into the concepts of the day: forgiveness of sins, rising from the dead, conversion, change of life, eternal life, as we face terminology from the "Techies" such as "artificial intelligence".
Jesus told the people, "The one whom God sent speaks the words of God." (Jn 3:34).  As baptized believers, we are "the ones who are sent", the ones who need no be ashamed to mention God, Faith,  Mass attendance, Church involvement, prayer. fasting and service to neighbor. Talk about these things raises awareness in the minds of our hearers, and perhaps, can even inspire them to talk about their own sacred things and, in time, change the climate of conversation at home or in the workplace.
