The Season of Lent always invites us to encounter God on a deeper, more personal level. Today, Fr. Ron Will is going to lead you in a guided meditation.
Today we will be doing more than wading in a shallow pool. We will step into the deep waters of relationship. We will move beyond reciting prayers out of a book, and move into a conversation with Jesus.
First, take a minute to focus your attention. Let go of other distracting thoughts.
Take a couple deep breaths. Breathe in God’s presence and exhale any anxiety, any tension in your body.
Let’s begin.
New videos will be posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We’ll send you an email on Thursdays to remind you to watch. You can find all the videos here (after they are posted): Lent Video Series. You can share your thoughts about the video on our Facebook page.

He has a special interest in helping form intentional disciples of Jesus, encouraging others to go spiritually deep-sea diving to explore a deeper relationship with God, and walking with people as they dive into the ocean of God’s mystery actually experiencing God rather than simply dipping one’s toe into the water.]
During November, we celebrate those who have gone before us, our ancestors upon whose shoulders we stand. We celebrate the Feast of All Saints, All Souls Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving Day. We remember their positive influence on our lives.

Using threats, shame and guilt to gain another’s cooperation is expedient but ineffective over the long-run. On the other hand, inviting someone to join us in a common work or goal, respects the other, is more constructive and more often results in substantive and long-lasting change.
