Experiencing Jesus in Scripture/Encountering Christ in our Lives
9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Presented by Janet Lehane
Cost $35

Saint Ignatius of Loyola referred to himself as a pilgrim in sharing his story. We too can reflect on our lives as pilgrims. In our time together, we will meet Jesus in Scripture through Gospel Contemplation, encounter Christ in our ordinary lives as we pray the Ignatian Examen, and walk onward with Christ as pilgrims. Our journey forward is one of learning to love as God loves. Time will be given to prayer, input, lunch, periods of contemplative silence, and sharing. Janet Lehane is a spiritual director and retreat leader with a deep love of Ignatian Spirituality. She is certified through John Carroll’s Ignatian Spirituality Institute. The day begins with coffee & pastry and includes lunch.

This evening will feature a movie, The Francis Effect, produced by the Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation based in Toronto, Canada. It takes an in-depth look at how the Church is changing under the leadership and vision of Pope Francis. Exclusive interviews with prominent Catholics and non-Catholics reveal that Pope Francis is having a profound effect on the world as well. Opportunities will be provided for the further sharing of insights and reflections by those who participate. Popcorn and refreshments included!

“There is no greater freedom than that of allowing oneself to be guided by the
Holy Spirit, renouncing the attempt to plan and control everything to the last detail
and instead letting the Spirit enlighten, guide and direct us, leading us wherever
the Spirit wills. The Holy Spirit knows well what is needed in every time and place.
This is what it means to be mysteriously fruitful!”
— Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel, #280
