Jubilee Year of Mercy Begins!

In the Roman Catholic tradition, a Holy Year, or Jubilee is a great religious event. It is a year of forgiveness of sins and also the punishment due to sin, it is a year of reconciliation between adversaries, of conversion and receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and consequently of solidarity, hope, justice, commitment to serve God with joy and in peace with our brothers and sisters."

From the Vatican

Respect Life

God of life and love, you created us in your image and sent your

Son to bring us life. Instill in us a respect for all life, from concep-

tion to natural death. Empower us to work for justice and for the

poor. Nourish us that we may bring food to the hungry. Inspire us

to cherish the fragile life of the unborn. Strengthen us to bring

comfort to the chronically ill. Teach us to treat the aging with

dignity and respect. Bring us one day into the glory of everlasting

life. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Could you not watch one hour with Me?

“The only time our Lord asked the Apostles for anything was the

night when He went into His agony. But as often in the history of the

church, since that time, evil was awake, but the disciples were

asleep. That is why there came out of His anguished and lonely

Heart a sigh: Could you not watch one hour with Me?” (Mt26:40)

Not for an hour of activity did he plead, but for an hour

of friendship”

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen,

There will be a Holy Hour at St. Charles Church this Tues-

day afternoon December 15th from 4-5pm.

Praying the Rosary, silent meditation and Benediction.

A Faith Study for Young Adults* During Lent… Way better than the same old diet. This is a 6-week small group lesson everyone who joins

will receive a par!cipa!on packet. Where there are

short ques!ons that are designed to guide you with a

be"er understanding of your rela!onship with the Lord

and help you see Jesus for who he truly is.

In the Discovery faith study Series, the first four lessons

of this study introduce the basic concept of the Chris!an

faith. In the fi$h lesson, Par!cipants are invited to make

a commitment to Christ. The sixth Lesson aims to help

them be"er grasp that commitment. It is for those who

wish to seek a rela!onship with Jesus and those who

would like to learn how to evangelize and break down

the Gospel in a simpler way and relate it to their own

life.

Lesson 1 - Gods Love

God knows and loves us personally.

Lesson 2- Love's Ini!a!ve

The Father takes the ini!a!ve to reconcile our rela!on-

ship with Him.

Lesson 3- Jesus Christ- Our Lord

Jesus of Nazareth is truly God.

Lesson 4- Jesus Christ - Our Savior

Jesus saves us from our sins through his passion, death

and resurrec!on.

Lesson 5- The Universal Call- Personally Yours

We are invited to receive the gi" of salva!on and live a

new rela!onship with God.

Lesson 6- Going from Here

A rela!onship with God if not an achievement of perfec-

!on. it is rather the context in which we receive God's

help and mercy in our daily lives.

*Young Adults 18-30’s

On Wednesdays during the season of lent at the minis-

try center at 6:30

These series are set up for small groups. The groups con-

sist of 8 par!cipants please sign up soon before they fill

up.

Please email our young adult coordinator Mary Kortright

for more informa!on Haveamaryday@gmail.com
