This Thursday - Discussion on Blessed JPII's "Love and Responsibility"
Hello brothers and sisters!
This Thursday at Emmaus we will have a discussion on Blessed John Paul II's (actually Karol Wojtyla's) Love and Responsibility aided by Dr. Edward Sri's book Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love. What Christopher West has done for Theology of the Body, Dr. Edward Sri has done for Love and Responsibility. This book is based on the thesis that real love does not use another for his/her own pleasure, but seeing the great dignity of the other, seeks to love as God loves and thus welcomes and feels a profound sense of responsibility for another that accompanies real love. The chapters are short, but are power packed with Catholic awesomeness (aka beautiful truth! ... no fluff). In fact the book was written for discussion in groups and has great discussion questions all ready to go at the end of each chapter.
So grab a friend, or remind one you just met or haven't seen in a while, and meet us in Kohl's Hall at 7 PM for rosary, 7:30 for the rest.
with love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team
"Love consists of a commitment which limits one's freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one's freedom on behalf of another. Limitation of one's freedom might seem to be something negative and unpleasant, but love makes it a positive, joyful and creative thing. Freedom exists for the sake of love." Love and Responsibility p135

Emmaus This Thursday
Hello brothers and sisters in Christ,
This Thursday at Emmaus we will have Gerald Lamb come and speak with us about our responsibilities as Catholics in the political arena, moral issues we should have in mind when considering a candidate, and the order of priority of issues in general. Gerald has a Master's in Theology from Franciscan U. at Steubenville and is well versed in politics, so this should prove to be an informative and engaging discussion. Hope to see you Thursday at 7:30pm in Kohl's Hall. Come at 7pm for rosary if you can!
God Bless,

Confession (6:15) and Mass (6:45) followed by Fellowship at Emmaus this Thursday!
Hello Brothers and Sisters!
This Thursday Emmaus will start EARLY with Confession available at 6:15 PM and Mass celebrated by our Spiritual Director, Fr. Ed Murphy, at 6:45 PM. Following Mass, we will leave Assumption at 7:30PM to get some grub and spend some time in fellowship together!
A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean."
If we could only see the tenderness with which He offers US healing ... they couldn't keep us from running to Him!
See you all Thursday! with love,
