Emmaus this Thurs., 6/7 - The Eucharist
Hello brothers and sisters in Christ,
This week at Emmaus we will have our good friend Gerald Lamb come and speak with us about the sacrament of sacraments, the source and summit of the Christian life, the most Holy Eucharist! This will be a great way for us to prepare for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) coming up this Sunday. Gerald holds a Master's in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville. He has been a regular speaker for us, and I look forward to hearing what he has in store for us on such an important topic. Looking forward to seeing you all on Thurs. to join together and deepen our knowledge and love of the faith. We will be in the Music Room (2nd floor) in the Family Life Center/Gym at 7pm. Join us for Rosary if you can at 6:30pm.
God Bless,
The Emmaus Core Team

Emmaus this Thurs., 5/3 -- Motherhood of Mary
Hello brothers and sisters,
Since May is the month dedicated to Mary and Mother's Day is coming up soon on 5/13, we thought our topic this week should honor our Blessed Mother. So, with that intention, this Thurs. we will have Dan Mull coming to speak with us about the motherhood of Mary. As most of us know, Dan has a Master's in Theology from Ave Maria University and teaches religion at Bishop Snyder High School. This will be a great talk and also a good way to kick-off the month that honors our Lady. So come join us in Jordan Hall at 7pm. We will be praying the Rosary at 6:30pm if you would like to join us.
God Bless,

Fr. Remek speaking on JPII This Thursday!
Hello Brothers and Sisters!
This Thursday at Emmaus, Fr. Remek will be speaking about one of his heros and ours, Blessed John Paul II, the Great! Everything from his favorite writings or qualities of JPII to how this future Saint has impacted his own life (and many other vocations that have come from Poland) is on the table.
We can't wait to see you, so grab a friend, and join us for a great faith discussion and fellowship this Thursday at 7:00 PM at Assumption in Kohl's Hall (all are welcome for praying the rosary beforehand at 6:30).
with love in Christ,

The Emmaus Story:
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” 33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. Luke 24: 28-35

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

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,

So come out and enjoy the fellowship, yummy potluck, Christmas carols, reading of the Christmas story, gift exchange, and new memories to be made with old and new friends alike – see you there!

This Thursday - Amanda and Justin Lang at Emmaus
Hello Brothers and Sisters!
Happy Solemnity of All Saints! This Thursday, we will be meeting in Jordan Hall at Assumption. Our good friends Amanda and Justin Lang will be leading a discussion on how to incorporate traditions associated with the Saints in the home/family throughout the liturgical year. By the way, if you missed their 7th Annual All Saints Day Party this past Saturday, it was a blast. The game of the evening sent us on a scavenger hunt, performing skits, looking up scriptural and historical references on various matters of the faith, and even building a Cathedral out of graham crackers, icing and various candies. It was both quite fun and very educational.
I think this is a wonderful topic to get us thinking about very practical ways we can apply our faith and create memorable family moments. Creating special family traditions that are both fun and help those we love grow closer to our Lord and our entire Christian family (in heaven and on earth!) is an important way to make Holidays (and Holy Days ;) and ever day in between faith-centered and special (Hey we're Catholic, we're always celebrating something ... and isn't that wonderful ... we become what we celebrate!)
with love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team
In light of today's Solemnity, just wanted to pass along some beautiful words from a dear friend...
"You were made for greatness not comfort. You are called to be holy as He is holy...to be light, to be salt, to be a saint. Remember who you are today...a beloved child of God. We are His and He desires to be our all. Happy solemnity brothers and sisters" ~ Wisdom 3:1-9; Sirach 2; Luke 23:46

Fr. LIGUORI explaining the depth of the Holy Mass at Emmaus This Thursday
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."

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,
The Emmaus Core Team
"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

Well, we had a little mix up a few weeks ago, but back by popular demand, is attorney and apologetics speaker, Mr. Mitch Ritchie and the topic of the day will be Mystical Phenomena! Mitch currently helps to lead an apologetics class at Immaculate Conception along with Fr. Ed every Wednesday night. He has been speaking and teaching on various subjects in the realm of apologetics (defending the faith) for many years, including hosting a radio show geared toward the same.
Since Kohl's hall is not available on the first Thursday of the month, we will be meeting in Jordan Hall (Assumption Parish) with rosary starting at 7:00 and everything else kicking off around 7:30. So come out, come back, come as you are and bring a friend to share in the love and joy that the Father lavishes on YOU through the Body of Christ, His Church and know that you are treasured!
with love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1a

Thurs: Camp I am Special
Hello-
For our Thursday meeting on 6/23 (this coming thursday) we will be meeting out at Marywood to volunteer at Camp I Am Special, which is a summer camp for children with disabilities. Adam and I are co-directing next week and also Jenn Webster is the kitchen caterer. I have been involved in camp for 13 years now and I cannot tell you how wonderful of an experience it is. It truly is an in town mission to serve the least of God's children- those with disabilities. On Thurday evening is the Gala dance which will be held at the wisdom center at marywood. The wisdom center is the building next to the pool. Drive past Marywood to the parking lot next to the tennis courts and park there. We need help from 3:00 pm on to decorate the wisdom center for the Gala and then at 7:00 our normal time we will be serving appetizers and dancing with the campers, being "paparazzi" etc. Any time you can come from 3:00 on there will be things to do. If you can come earlier than 7:00 then you can help the campers get all dressed up and do hair/makeup down at Camp St. John!! The campers will be riding in limos from Camp St John to the wisdom center. If you want to wear a dress or other fun outfit that is wonderful....there are dresses there you can change into also (for the girls obviously!) . The dance is usually the most fun evening activity of the entire week so it was be a blast!!! Any questions please feel free to email me at call me 904-465-5168. :)
Emily
Ps. If you can come at 3:00 pm to help decorate (which is greatly needed) please shoot me an email response to let me know! Thanks so much!
