Bible Study
Giving up chocolate for Lent? How about feeding your souls as well,
or instead? |
Beginning March
3, come join us for a
Lenten Bible Study discussion
each Tuesday morning in Lent in Mercy Hall at 9:30am.
Come learn about our biblical blueprint for sainthood, what the
Kingdom of Heaven is and why you play an important part, where is
Purgatory in the bible, and other topics you want to explore. |

In his
Motu Proprio, Pope Francis
institutes a Sunday of the Word of God. "Devoting a specific Sunday
of the liturgical year to the word of God can enable the Church to
experience anew how the risen Lord opens up for us the treasure of
his word and enables us to proclaim its unfathomable riches before
the world." (Aperuit
Illis 2)
Click HERE for a Lectio Divina passage from
the Diocese. |
The practice of lectio divina as
a way of praying the Scriptures has been a very powerful way to grow
in relationship with Christ for many centuries and is strongly
recommended by the Church. The Word of God is alive and active and
will transform each of us if we open ourselves to receive what God
wants to give us through the Scriptures.

The
Arlington Diocese Office of Vocations presents
Vocations
Discernment:
"To know your vocation: ask God in
prayer; ask one's spiritual director; ask oneself, knowing one's own
inclinations."

St. Gianna Molla

pages. |
"Quo Vadis" means "Where
are you going?"
and its members are young men in high
school who desire to grow in faithful discipleship and personal
holiness to be better able to discover their own vocation invitation
from our Lord, whatever that might be.
''FIAT'' is a Latin word for 'Let it
be done'.
It was Mary's response to the angel
Gabriel when she was asked to become the mother of Jesus. 'Let it be
done unto me according to Your Will' refers to Mary's 'Yes' to God.
The members of FIAT are young women in high school who desire to
grow in faithful discipleship by modeling their personal holiness on
that of our Lady. By doing so they hope to be better able to
discover their own vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that
might be and make their own "fiat" or "yes" to Him.
