Hello brothers and sisters,
This Thursday, Fr. Liguori will be coming to Emmaus to discuss and explain more deeply what takes place during Holy Mass. Everything we do, every word we say (or the priest says) is pregnant with meaning! We will discuss why we do what we do in the Mass and its scriptural basis. Fr. Liguori is great priest and teacher of the faith. And with the new Roman missal and liturgical changes coming this Advent (and our discussion of them at Emmaus during November) this will give us a good foundation. Understanding the richness and meaning of the Mass, will help us to never again be bored, but approach with gratitude, humility, and awe! You don't want to miss this!
with love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team
"Receiving the Eucharist means adoring Him whom we receive. Only in this way do we become one with Him, and are given, as it were, a foretaste of the beauty of the heavenly liturgy. The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself."
Pope Benedict XVI – Sacramentum Caritatis 66

The Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother At Emmaus this week!
Hello brothers and sisters!
That's right, the Sisters are coming! If you are familiar with the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother, then you KNOW how they can deliver some spiritual truth (even sometimes lovingly termed a "spiritual spanking" ;) - you know what I mean, when you hear the truth and it hits home hard. Thanks be to God for faithful people who have the courage to preach the truth in love! May our Lord give each of us the wisdom and courage to do the same.
Well, this Thursday they will be leading us in a discussion on the "rules for the discernment of spirits based on St. Ignatius of Loyola's spiritual exercises." So if any of you want to grow in holiness (hopefully that's all of us!) and join some good friends united in faith and fellowship, we hope you and a friend can make it out on Thursday at 7:30 in Kohl's Hall (7:00 if you can join us for the rosary).
with love in Christ,

"For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes ..." Romans 1:16 - if we really believe this is true, let us truly live it, breath it, and proclaim it in all that we say and do, sharing His love and mercy with all we encounter

Mike Day at Emmaus this Thursday!
Hello brothers and sisters in Christ,
This Thursday at Emmaus we will have Mike Day from the Diocesan Center for Family Life speaking with us. Mike is the Assistant Director for Marriage and Family. His name may sound familiar because he was one of the speakers at Theology on Tap in St. Augustine last month. Mike will be giving us a talk entitled "Sustaining Healthy Relationships: Signs of Positive Growth." Sound interesting? Come on out this Thursday to learn more! We will be meeting in Jordan Hall. Come a little early at 7pm if you can and pray the rosary with us. Looking forward to seeing you all there! Happy Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis, pray for us!
