SJCCC eNews: One day Lent retreat on 3/13

親爱的主內兄弟姊妹：
 
團體為幫助教友準備一個有意義的四旬期，將於三月十三日，星期六，由歐維禮神父帶領一日的周末退省。主題是："耶穌基督 -- 我們渴望的源頭與動力"，歡迎各位踴躍參加。

在小牧童講座時我們重燃福傳的熱火；選擇跟隨耶穌成為小牧童。
需要繼續活化自己的信仰，是我們主要的心得之一
深化我們與基督的關係，是繼續活化自己信仰的不二法寶

跟隨耶穌是一種選擇；但，可曾意識到：
 『渴望』是引導著我們抉擇的主動力！
  我們的『渴望』卻也受到我們所在的文化滋養著！
  它會影響我們如何去達成這些願望；淡化我們與基督的關係。 

在這一日的退省：讓我們放下日常瑣事來到主前:
  在聖體的陪伴中、在聖經人物的觀照裡；
  與基督一起進入生命的深層認識自己的『渴望』，
  就在那裡我們遇見我們的救主耶穌基督，
  在祂身上我們看不見批判和責斥，只有憐愛；只有接受；只有救恩；

就在這一日；我們經歷了福音；
  祂的憐愛能讓我重新發現自己『渴望』的方向和動力！

時間與地點
3/13/10 8:30AM -5:00 PM (有彌撒)
St Claire Parish (Lower Church): 941 Lexington St. Santa Clara, CA 95050
