Compassionate Bible Circles at the Arms of Love

Carrie Roach

​

Our bible study has been meeting weekly in the evening since 2007. We enter into the mystery of the arms of love through compassionate circles of care. We prepare with reading from the Bible before our class. When together, we share our stories and relate them to bible stories and the communion of saints. We recognize connections so to emerge towards inclusive, creative and prayer-filled communities. We reflect, with open minds, as we bear witness to the faith of ordinary people. Our stories are woven with narratives from non-oppressive,  authoritative texts from the Bible, respected theological authors and the Communion of Saints which creates fabrics of justice initiated in the arms of love.  We study Scripture from the “World of the Text, the World In Front of the Text and the World Behind the Text”.   We explore, renew and polish our theological lens, to transform our perspectives to value creation, ourselves, each other and our image of God.  We share gratitude, wonder and awe, and understanding, being graced by our awareness of the Source of all, the peace from our relationship with Jesus, and the joys from the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

The entire Emmaus weekend is based on Luke's Gospel, Chapter 24. So often in life, we either fail or have fallen away from recognizing the presence of Christ in our lives. We may have forgotten that He is always walking with us. The weekend creates an environment where all who attend will feel unconditionally loved, accepted and invited to a deeper walk with Christ or an awakening of His presence in our lives. The experience of the weekend has a lasting spiritual effect on the person attending. There are separate weekends for men and women and are held twice a year during the spring and the fall.

Prayer Chain

Cadena de Oración

Heather Patronaggio

hpatrony@gmail.com

The Prayer Chain, upon receiving phone calls from parishioners requesting prayers for an ill person, or one suffering in a stressful situation, will lovingly beseech God, Our Blessed Mother, and the Saints for spiritual, physical, or mental healing as needed. How does the Chain operate? The Leader, having received a prayer request, calls several other members, who in turn, call other members with the prayer request. Praying starts immediately.

​

SP: En la Cadena de Oración, una vez que se recibe la llamada o aviso de la persona que solicita oración por un enfermo, por una situación apremiante etc., con mucho amor se busca la ayuda de Dios, nuestra Madre Bendita, y los Santos para conseguir el alivio spiritual, mental o corporal que se necesita. La Cadena opera así: La persona encargada o líder recibe la petición, llama a varios de los miembros y ellos también llaman a otros miembros transmitiendo la petición. La Oración empieza inmediatamente.
