Sunday Isn’t Enough: Sanctifying Your Work Week
As Catholics, we recognize God’s authority over our life, our entire life, and that therefore a different world view applies. We are to be Christ-Centered in all we do, not worldly-wise. We are called to live in this world without being seduced by it.
The challenge we face is to remain Christ-Centered in a world that is me-centered, to live His message not only on Sunday morning, but Monday morning and Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon and Friday and Saturday, as well. Sometimes that is not easy. Yet, as Catholics, we are called to be salt and light for the world. Come learn how to sanctify your week, bring peace to your heart and souls to Christ.
Sanctification through Suffering: There Are No Shortcuts to Heaven
Suffering cuts across all boundaries; rich or poor, old or young, male or female, Christian or non-Christian. It is an experience that we all know of, we’ve all suffered. But it is only Christianity that can give meaning and purpose - and even a motive- to suffering.
Suffering, properly understood, can bring us closer to Heaven. In His mercy, God allows suffering. By His grace, God gives us the strength to triumph over it. Come learn how to suffer well.
