God has created you for a unique purpose in life. Discover your spiritual gifts to reveal that calling!

Called & Gifted is designed to help you learn about charisms and lead you through the process of discerning your gifts and call.

Last weekend the young adults gathered to celebrate the ongoing Easter season at the first Ablaze Mission Easter Party! With BBQ from the Prized Pig, sides made by the young adults, and tons of games, the joy of the Resurrection was truly present. It served as a reminder that we are still celebrating the Easter season even if the world stopped after Easter Sunday. If you’re interested in joining us for our community events, come to a Bible Study on Tuesday or Discipleship Group on Wednesday evening to get more information!

Matthew’s Gospel account of the empty tomb records an angel saying, “I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised.”

Are we too still seeking “Jesus the crucified”? The women at the tomb were expecting to find the Jesus who emptied himself of his divinity to be like us, suffered severely, and ultimately died. The disciples were disheartened by his seemingly powerlessness over the situation.

However, the angel directs us instead to seek “Jesus the raised”. The resurrection revealed that Jesus could not be confined to a tomb and had indeed overcome the situation, just not in the expected way. Jesus was not powerless, but reigns over even death itself.

Easter is a crucial reminder whenever we feel powerless over situations – current and looming wars, economic struggle, our personal life not going the way we had hoped. Rather than becoming disheartened, Easter encourages us to entrust everything to the Lord of all because the living, risen Jesus has overcome the world.

To affirm that, we confidently declare today: “Christ is risen!”

Happy Easter!

As we enter into the Triduum, we begin to reflect on the Passion of Jesus. This past weekend a group of young adults began reflecting during a Lenten pilgrimage to The Shrine of Christ’s Passion. The young adults had the opportunity to celebrate Mass and spend time in adoration together before heading to the Shrine where they prayed the life-size Stations of the Cross and gathered for a meal to reflect on the experience. If you’re interested in joining us for our community events, come to a Bible Study on Tuesday or Discipleship Group Wednesday evening to get more information!
