Jesus said to his disciples:
"If your brother sins against you,
go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.
If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.
If he does not listen,
take one or two others along with you,
so that 'every fact may be established
on the testimony of two or three witnesses.'
If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.
If he refuses to listen even to the church,
then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.
Amen, I say to you,
whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Again, amen, I say to you,
if two of you agree on earth
about anything for which they are to pray,
it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them."
-Matthew 18:15-20

Holy Indifference: St. Ignatius' First Principle and Foundation

At the heart of Ignatian spirituality is a simple yet profound question: What is the purpose of my life? In this workshop, we will explore St. Ignatius of Loyola's First Principle and Foundation, the cornerstone of the Spiritual Exercises, which reveals that we are created to know, love, and serve God and to find true freedom in living according to God’s will.

Through prayer, reflection, Scripture, and practical application, you will discover how this foundational teaching can bring greater clarity, peace, and purpose to everyday decisions. Whether you are new to Ignatian spirituality or seeking to deepen your spiritual journey, this morning of reflection offers an opportunity to grow in freedom, trust, and a deeper relationship with God.

Led by Pam Truxillo

Spiritual Directors In-Service Day

In this day-long workshop, Julia Feder, Ph.D. will outline three different ways to make meaning out of suffering in the Christian tradition. Each of the three ways of thinking about suffering offer different gifts to sufferers and each of the three ways can have pitfalls. There will be time for personal reflection and group discussion as we explore together these different ways of making meaning of suffering.

Julia Feder, Ph.D. is the acting director of the Center for the Study of Spirituality and associate professor of Religious Studies and Theology at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana. Her writing and research focus on theological anthropology, theologies of suffering, and spirituality. She is the author of Incarnating Grace: A Theology of Healing from Sexual Trauma and co-principal investigator of “Just One Jesuit: Communities’ Accounts of the Effects of Clergy Abuse Through the Lens of a Singular Priest’s Mission Activities,” a grant from Fordham University’s “Taking Responsibility Project.”

Jesus began to show his disciples
that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly
from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed and on the third day be raised.
Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him,
"God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you."
He turned and said to Peter,
"Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me.
You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."

Then Jesus said to his disciples,
"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world
and forfeit his life?
Or what can one give in exchange for his life?
For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory,
and then he will repay all according to his conduct."
-Matthew 16:21-27

Join us this Friday!
Christian Contemplation

Are you drawn to the Quiet?
Contemplation is a prayer practice in the Catholic tradition that embraces the inner quiet. It invites union with God in prayer in a slow, gentle method of silence. Contemplative Prayer is the opening of our whole selves - mind and heart – to the Lord. We open to God who is closer to us than breathing. Christian Contemplation seeks communion with God, self and others.

“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

2nd and 4th Fridays at 9:15 am
