MISSION:
Help
FAMILIES!
There is really no need to remind you of the frigid conditions we
faced as the New Year got underway. We know your energy bills will
be much higher than normal, and pray that your household can absorb
the ‘sticker-shock.’
Pray for those who have been living in poorly heated/poorly
insulated/drafty homes. Imagine wearing your coat indoors, all day
and all night. Imagine not having enough blankets to keep your
children from shivering all night long.
If you are able, consider a small donation that will help us help
them weather this storm.
We will most gratefully share your generosity. |

Citadel of God:
A Novel about Saint Benedict
Our first discussion
of this book will cover “Book One” (through p. 108).
Another of the popular
historical novels by the distinguished de Wohl, telling the dramatic
story of St. Benedict, the father of Western monasticism, who played
such a major role in the Christianization and civilization of
post-Roman Europe in the sixth century. De Wohl weaves an intricate
tapestry of love, violence and piety to recount with historical
accuracy the story of St. Benedict and the tempestuous era in which
he lived.
Since there are no
contemporary biographies of this major saint of history and the
Church. De Wohl's inspired account is of significant importance on
the subject of saint's lives for today's spiritual seekers. Having
lived in an era of great immorality and vice, not unlike our world
today, Benedict's story has a strong message for modern Christians
who seek, as he did, to turn away from the wickedness of the world
to find Christ in prayer, study and solitude. |

The

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

"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.
