LifeNight - Why so fast?

Each of the four sessions of Into the Deep will cover a specific topic found within the United States Bishops’ framework with a greater depth. This will allow us to take time to really break open topics such as discipleship, Mary, the season of Lent, and pro-life issues. This Into the Deep explores the season of Lent.

As Catholics, we are familiar with ashes, giving something up, and meatless Fridays, but do we know the “why” behind these things? This series on Lent will help us all understand the history, beauty, and opportunity of this season. Each session looks at a different aspect of how we are called to prepare for Easter: fasting, almsgiving, and prayer.

The goal of this session is to help us all to understand the purpose of fasting. In particular, this night will help us move beyond just giving something up during Lent into truly detaching from the things that are keeping them from God. Finally, this session will serve as a preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

The goal of this LifeNight “Dirt-head” is to bring us all to a deeper understanding of Lent and how this season can strengthen and deepen their faith. In particular, this session will look at Ash Wednesday and how we are called to remember our mortality and cling to God’s grace and mercy.

We were able to pack a TON of Blessings Bags and start a bunch for others to finish!  Don't forget! Next week is our Mardi Gras Party - we are going to have Pizza, Games, and Prayer! See you in-person at 7:30PM in the Dining Room!    The goal of last night was to educate us all on the issues of poverty and homelessness within our communities, while broadening our perspective on the dignity and place of the poor. It may only take a moment for someone to fall into the cycle of poverty, but it also only takes us a moment, a shared moment, to remind them of their dignity. An “I-it” relationship is what we create when we are in transactions with people whom we treat like objects. I-you relationships are characterized by human connection; treating people as people. Jesus prefers the poor because He is modeling how much we should rely on Him. By encountering the poor, we all have a unique opportunity to also encounter our own poverty and need for a Savior.
