Listening for God in our Lives

Join us this Lenten and Easter seasons to explore our Catholic traditions and prayers for experiencing the quiet presence of God in our lives through scripture, our daily activities, and in our hearts.
Listening for God in our Lives
Twice a week we will be introduced to:
• Lectio Divina – listening for God in scripture reading in five meetings, beginning February 18th
• St Ignatius’ daily Examen – noticing God in our daily activities in four meetings, beginning March 16th
• Companioned Prayer – finding God in our hearts in five meetings, plus a wrap-up meeting, beginning April 6th.
You are invited to pause and notice the quiet grace-filled presence of God in our lives. It is something easily missed in our busyness and daily routines. Come and discover being quietly nourished by Christ’s grace and blessings within you. Discover how this may enliven your living faith, growing in His love.
In each online Zoom video meeting, we will open our hearts and our faith experience as we get to know each other and these wonderful prayer practices. New to Zoom? Don’t worry, it’s easy; and if you request, we can do Zoom setup and testing with you before the program starts.
Meetings : We will meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 to 3:30 PM. There will be a one week break the second week of March and another break for Holy week. An optional four-week extension will also be offered for those who wish to continue after the program.

Testimony from a parishioner
The "Listening for God" program led by Bill Stobbe was an enriching experience in many ways. I met some wonderful people who are seeking a deeper personal relationship with God. We experienced three very practical modes of prayer together (Lectio Divina, Ignatian Daily Examen, and Companioned Prayer), received helpful resources, and shared how these methods of prayer aided us day-by-day over the 15 sessions of our twice-per-week meetings. Meeting virtually was no limitation. I encourage you to sign up for future sessions. It will give you a concrete way to grow in your prayer life!”
