With Nouwen as our inspiration, we will explore together the profound dynamics of our spiritual life as God’s beloved---chosen and blessed before the foundation of the world while at the same present time representing a life that is broken and given as bread for others. Through a combination of guided teaching, personal reflection and communal interaction, we hope to imbibe in us what it truly means to be, to become, and to live our life as the Beloved amidst our increasingly challenging world.

The first of the written prophets, Amos was filled with an urgency to speak the unspeakable. We will take time to look at how he gives shape to the word of the Lord he says he must speak, at the words and images he draws upon to shake up Israel. This way the prophet can lead us to look closely at our own world and find a voice to name where God wants his mercy to work justice. In that lies hope for the future, for the rebuilding of what has fallen down.

Jesus’ desire is that we let the Father’s profound personal love for us flow into our hearts. The presentations will highlight Jesus’ meetings with Mary Magdalene, Peter, Paul, Matthew, Dismas and others. We will reflect on the real meaning of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick with personal experiences. The theme, “I don’t remember” points to the total forgiveness the Father offers us through his Son. There is no better model of trusting in His love than that of our Blessed Mother. We will reflect on her life and ask her to guide us to open our hearts to receive His personal love. Come prepared to celebrate His personal love and forgiveness and to let go of unhealthy guilt forever.
