Emmaus This Thurs. -- Redemptive Suffering

REDEMPTIVE SUFFERING

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This week at Emmaus our good friend Gerald Lamb will be speaking to us about Redemptive Suffering and its role in Spiritual Combat. Gerald has a Master's Degree in Theology from Franciscan University at Steubenville. It is sure to be a good talk, so come and learn about this important teaching of our faith! Rosary at 7pm, meeting at 7:30pm.

In Him,

This Thursday - James Beich on Evngelization and Missions!

Hello dear friends!

Have you ever felt like the Lord was calling you to do more for Him, but weren't quite sure what? It is so easy to "go with the flow", to not do anything too crazy, and before we know it, we're feeling and looking a little "slack in zeal" (Romans 12:11). But whether God is calling you to a land far away or to be a missionary to the people already around you, He IS calling you to live a life sold out and radically oriented toward loving HIM (and thus consequently, others)! This is the universal call to holiness. We are all called to love and to serve and share the Good News.

This week at Emmaus, our friend, James, will share his story - a story that includes God leading him to serve by doing missionary work in Africa! So come out for some great fellowship and discussion on how God is calling each of us to be His hands and feet (and words and heart and all those other cool body parts). I wonder if St. Therese were to have compared herself in this way instead of as a "little flower" what she would have chosen? Even an eyebrow or a toenail serve as an important part of the body and I am happy to be used in whatever small way He allows!

"There are no great things, only small things with great love"
"Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love"
- Blessed Mother Teresa

with love (and a smile :)

Thurs: Saints Behaving Badly

Do you think you are the worst sinner in the world? I think I am and could probably debate with you on the point. However, after researching some of the Saints lives I realized that I would come in second or third place.

Soooo..... This Thursday we will discuss some of the Saints who lead a very very sinful life but through God's grace converted and became Saints. We will look at Saints who were murderers, seducers, satanists, alcoholics, and much more and see how they changed there lives.

So come on out, be amazed at how LESS sinful you really are compared to these HEAVY sinners, and be inspired.

In Christ,

Emmaus Core Team (Sean, Liz, Jen, Russ)
